Hey Everybody! Today is the launch of the Shopping our Stash challenge blog and the first challenge is to post some of your stash online for everyone to see...you can find the challenge here: http://shoppingourstash.blogspot.com/
This looks like it is going to be a great challenge site, and who doesn't have a stash that needs to get used up? I know mine has always been a little out of control, but I also know that I am not the worst one out there....let's start using this stuff up...let's take back some of that space (or in my case, make room for the new :)
My room is never really clean - these pictures are a figment of my imagination...it is usually a disaster, but my new year's resolution was to clean it up and use up my stuff...I did clean it, but it only stayed that way for 3 days...oh well!
These first pics are of my desk and my clear stamp area....
My clear stamps are all organized in the Stampin up cases by set...this took me hours and hours to do, but I am soooo glad that I did it...I do find that I use the stamps a lot more now that I can see what I own...seriously contemplating doing it to my wood ones too, but I just don't know if I can bear to break them all apart...there is just something about a wood stamp that is soooo satisfying if you know what I mean. Under my desk is my card stock (12x12) and my scraps...it seems funny even to look at that picture, cuz I usually only have a clear 12x12 space to work on (if I am lucky).
The cabinet with the cubes holds all of my extra stamps and adhesives...not in the picture is the other dresser full of stamps...but the mess on top of the dresser didn't do it justice, so I didn't post it...the tins hold all of my chipboard pieces and stuff like that...my girls and I made all of the flower magnets stuck to them...that was a fun project...
These pictures are of the inside of one of the three sides of my closet...I am just showing the clean part of three of the shelves where I store some of my papers etc...I didn't do the other three shelves cuz they are jammed full of stuff and just look like a mess, so here goes: 
The plastic containers hold all of my fun stuff...flower soft, spritz, smooch, stickles, embossing powders, flock, pearlex...you get the picture...the shelves of stamps are actually 6 shelves and a giant case on top...but there is no evidence there, so it is not really true ;)
I have a little bit of a paper obsession...I have all of those 12x12 iris cases, my super cool storage shelf on both sides, plus 3 8 foot closet shelves....oh and two rolling totes full as well...oops...I LOOOVE paper...can't get enough of the wonderful stuff!Next week I may get brave enough to take pictures of the ribbon, flower and bling stash that I have hiding on the other side of the closet....
It's seriously a pretty easy challenge, plus there is blog candy...so please join us and make it a great time!
