Let’s get organized /craft desk clean and declutter

Hello there, today I’ve got some cleaning motivation here and over on my YouTube channel.  

My desk really needed to be decluttered and refreshed.  I filmed the process to give you some cleaning motivation today.  



I cleaned up the current mess from recent projects and some other things I’d put on my desk as I was decluttering other areas in the craft room.  

Then I took everything off the desk so I could wipe down the desk with some cleaner.  Then I took a few things off permanently, added a few new pieces and rearranged things in my desk. This gave it a fresh look with a little less things on it and easier to access the current supplies I store on my desk. 


I removed all the cups storing various pens and items and moved my embossing powder organizer over to here.  

Also how fun to these new scissors look. I recently got this bright coloured scissors from Michael’s. I showed them in my last haul video. I’m loving them! 



I added this organizer to my desk and placed my nuvo drops top.  This organizer was my grandmas and I store extra embellishments and small things in it.  

Before I switched things up on my desk the previous set up my nuvo drops container kept falling down. So this definitely solved the problem.

 I stacked my clear organizers on top of each other. I love the simplicity of this.  I added my Rae Dunn “Enjoy” cup on top with my used tools and pens. 


Behind the basket I have two cups that were previously on my desk storing some more pens that I am constantly using. Though I did remove two other cups and declutter the pens and odds and ends in them. I moved the pens that worked to another location in my craft space where I store pens. Also got rid of the pens that didn’t work and did the same with the random bits and pieces or put them where they belong.  

At first I also put that wicker organizer basket on my desk as an experiment. My idea was as I’m working on a project I can put my supplies in there instead of having them pile up on my desk.  Then when I get a chance I can clean that out and put everything back.  I’m not sure if I will keep this there. 

I feel like it’s a great idea but I think this particular basket might be too deep just for this task. I will have to see if I can find a better solution and organizer to collect all the supplies that end up on my desk from various projects. 

Then of course I had to remove all my copic, spectrum noir and randomness from this wine rack which is also my filming location.  When I removed everything I wiped down the wine rack where I store all my markers.  Then I was able add back in the markers and put them in nicely by colour. I also grouped all my comics together. I have mostly spectrum noir markers but a small collection of copic markers too. 

I love how all of this looks together.  Simple, bright and organized.  



Here is a picture without the wicker basket on the desk. This also allows you to see just the two cups on the desk that I mentioned above with my pens and tools I used often. 

During my clean up process prior to my desk declutter I was organizing a few other areas in my craft room.  During this time I found the letters for my light up box. I had misplaced them in my craft room and couldn’t remember where they were.  So I was excited to find them. I wrote “Let’s do this!” with the letters to give myself some motivation to keep going with the desk makeover. I hope these simple words can give you some motivation too.  

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Definitely check out the YouTube video for the whole process and transformation of my desk in my craft room.

Get Kids Crafty May Blog Hop Gardening theme

It's that time of month again where I share a fun crafty project that I made with my kiddo Riley for Get Kids Crafty. Hello and thank you for joining us for the May Get Kids Crafty! blog hop! We are thrilled to have you! Our theme this month is gardening and our kids have created some AMAZING projects to share with you! We had a lot of fun creating our project this month. We made a bumble bee mobile.  Both my kids love the song bringing home my baby bumble bee. Especially my youngest Liam, it seems to usually calm him down when he's upset.  So we created this fun project to the theme of the song.      First we had to die cut our bees, Here is Riley playing with an already cut bee in the Big Shot machine.      Here is Riley turning the handle on the Big Shot machine to cut out all our bees. We had to do 16 in total one for the front and back as you will see in a little bit. Here is what the finished bee looks like and the die cut that we used from
