Having craft items in drawers, cabinets, or the closet makes for a neater looking room, but doesn't help those supplies to get used. My goal for 2015 has neen to use up supplies for paper crafting and clear out the yarn I've had forever but have never used. The children's librarian will be getting some goodie bags this year, for sure! Cindy at Cards by Cindy has inspired me, so let's see how I do!
I've had a good start in January, using up the packs of 30 square cards I bought in 2009 without realizing square cards require additional postage. One birthday, one thank you, and twenty-eight thinking of you cards were completed at the January crop at Tina's.
Next I put together fifty card kits using the embossed papers I paired with fifty patterned paper from a stack that's been in the drawer for six years. The Operation Write Home sketches 76 - 125 helped me make cards that have some variety, and my new Copic markers gave the images a colorful look.
Joining a RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) group is a perfect for finding new homes for some really nice items I haven't used.
