From Cardmaking to Scrapbooking

For probably close to a year now I've been making cards and have set aside my stamps and embellishments for working on any scrapbooks.  I have plenty of scrapbooks that I should do, I've just not been inclined to do them. Well, I think it's time for a scrapbook.  It will be a small book about the Outer Banks trip I just took with my sis-in-law.

Since I don't tend to scrap or make cards in any one place, this will require me switching out my totes from "happy birthday/love you" sentiments to my "journey/destination/travel" stamps and embellishments.  This means I have to face my "craft room."  Right now, I want you to remember the music from the shower scene in the movie "Psycho".  That is what I heard in my head when I realized that I had to face this...

I worked for several hours cleaning, sorting, putting away, throwing away, setting aside and it now looks like a place where a person could really create something beautiful... that is if a person actually used the space to create instead of letting it be a placeholder for "things I'll get to later."

I did decide to leave out a couple of my card stamps so when I have an overwhelming need to make a few cards for OWH I can quickly get hold of some supplies.  Does anyone remember Jenga?  LOL
