Random Quick Tip!

Control Your Craft Clutter
If you are like me and most crafters out there, you like to keep cardboard packaging and other packaging materials "just in case". Doing that often gets out of control if you don't save them in a controlled manner. Well what I do is a designate a special container to keep various materials in and when each container is full, I do not save any more of that particular item until my supply is almost gone. For example, empty cereal boxes for the cardboard. I keep my supply in a magazine holder. When it's full, I do not save more, until my supply of that wonderful cardboard is almost gone. My community recycles so I don't feel bad about getting rid of those empty boxes if I know I have a handful available to use whenever I need to.
