So it's the middle of the week. Life is busy but good. I am going through my stash and re-organizing. I am also going through my scrap-away bags and replenishing my "kits". When I say kits, I mean papers and embellies I have pulled together to go with certain pics so that when I'm at a crop/event, I can pull out a bag and start working right away without looking for the "right" paper or embellies. Half the work is already done. If I'm really ahead of my game, I even have sketches or ideas to go with the kits. All of that goes in rollie tote and I have a tool caddy with with my staples in it. How do you pack for a crop? Do you plan ahead or do you bring it all?
Today also, I organized and added a set of rubbermaid drawers (something new I put together) with 4 drawers...2 big and 2 small. One small has more tools and adhesives (Xyron X, cheetah, glue dots, crop-a-dile, etc). The other has what I call notions ie bling, buttons, flowers etc. One of the big drawers holds my journaling cards and alpha letters (all the ones in my stash). The other has what I have labeled colors ie Mists, stickles, inks and stamps. I am hoping this set up works so that...
1. I don't have to unpack when I get home from crops, the drawers will just sit next to my desk like it does when I'm away. Wouldn't that be great? And...
2. I have my stash with me at the crops. No more thinking, "Oh this would work great but it's at home!"
I'll keep you posted on how it works.
Leave a comment here and tell me.. How do you pack for crops? Do you plan ahead or do you bring it all?
I am always looking for organizational ideas; I bought the 14 x 14 Iris scrapbook case & after a day trip or vacation I put all the mementos of the event in it & label so it is easy to find when I am getting my album, papers & etc ready to scrap.
