Brads

The first Something from Nothing challenge from Shimelle was to use metal. I really liked the idea of making a frame using brads, so I found one or two brads! and made this LO. The photo was taken on our holiday to Legoland in October 2008. Funny I still seem to have a couple of brads left!!!

Spring must be in the air this week - I have been busy tidying and cleaning. The bathroom, especially the shower, got a really good clean on Monday and I finished off the kitchen today. I really wish I had nice smooth things without all the odd little fiddly bits that are soo difficult to clean.

Not actually done any studying this week though so had better get cracking.

Lots of stash!

The first challenge from Shimelle's class, Something from almost nothing, is to talk about and show photos of your stash - just to prove that I really don't have that much (honest!!) here are some of my photos.

Boxes contain ribbons, buttons, bits and bobs - but it looks tidy!

Cupboard has paints, alcohol inks, embossing powders and my Big Shot.

This neat bag has eyelets and brads.

My tote, which sits under my desk, has a few! kits, mainly unused!

Another tote bag contains other patterned paper, card is in a separate folder(s).

Stamps are in this great box.

OK a few more ribbons - but they are tidy!

I will admit to having a few more bits of stash lurking in drawers and under the bed, but on the whole the room is fairly tidy. The room I use doubles as a guest room, so really has to be kept reasonably tidy. I had a major tidy out last year and to be honest have difficulty finding stuff now. So hopefully this class will help me rediscover what I have - and then use it! Then I can go buy more...
