Look how beautifully tidy it all was on Monday.I was in 'back-to-school' mode (it doesn't last long after term starts so I have to capitalise on it) and I had got sick of not being able to find the papers I want so I colour- coded them. I couldn't believe how many sheets of cardstock I had hidden at the bottom of the drawer! Time to get creating to use them up!
Today, you can see the makings of a couple of cards. I cut the pockets off a pair of my daughter's tiny baby jeans. I think they will work brilliantly to hide a jewellery gift in for a postal present.There is also a commissioned choker set which I am boxing up to deliver later today.
Have a good snoop!

Oh how nice to see it all spread ut and sorted though Kirsty, even ifyou did have a shock at the amount. Now you have to divide timebetween paper and jewellery! Love the set you're packing up.
Lovely fabric Kirsty - and another one who has sorted their scrap paper stash out - i feel a project coming on for me...

Loving the colours you are using on your card Kirsti ... and colour sorted papers ... you go girl and when you have gone ... mine need doing too :0)
Great scraps there. I have colour co-ordinated my card blanks but not my paper (what a nightmare thought... but a good one)
The choker looks fab, it seems to me that you are far tidier than I ever could be!

I think color coding your papers is a very good idea - I have a drawer of DPs that needs sorting! Love your choker!

You have a lot on your plate. I color code my papers, too. I don't get many scrapbook papers, but I make a lot of my own using white card stock, so color coding is always the best way to go for me.
That choker is adorable, and so is that jeans pocket. Can't wait to see the finished project.
Have a fun and productive WOYWW.
wow, you can watch telly while crafting? I would totally confuse myself =) I can't even craft and drink coffee at the same time
Great idea for using the denim pocket and the necklace is lovely :)

That is one tidy area ...it has to happen when you cant find things ...not sure whether I could watch and craft though
Come come Kirsty, there's no such thing as too much stash! Great idea with the little denim pocket too.
