I’ve been cleaning and organizing my craft room for what seems like months now. Actually, it has been months. You should have seen what it has looked since our move. It was bad, lol. Somehow my craft room was turned into the “dumping ground” for the entire house.
Good news is I’ve made a ton of progress. There are no moving boxes in my room (I will admit to a couple in the closet…) and I’ve done quite a bit of decluttering/destashing and rehoming unused items.
My next goal is to hang some shelves and a pegboard system from Ikea and work on organizing the 2 closets I still have stuff in.

I just checked the weather and it looks like the temps will stay right around 100 for at least the next 7 days. I was really hoping we would not break 100 again this year, but it looks like this is the year of never-ending summer!
