Check out this craft "room"

[Trixie]

It looked like so many of the things were not used. I wonder how often she crafts. Can you imagine having kids in that room working? I like being able to let the kids just go crazy in my room and use whatever they want. It makes a huge mess, but they have the best time. The room is beautiful, but not my thing.

Same here Trixie. When the grandkids come over they want to play in Gammy’s Room. And they do. They love the mess. My 7 year old grandson is particularly artistic and I love encouraging it.

I actually made it through the entire video - it took two sittings, but I did it.

Did anyone catch what she said about her "collection?" That's only 4 years worth! I shudder to think what it's going to look like in a few more years.

She sure was making a lot of greeting cards.... sometimes sending them out... looked like she had a ton of them boxed up as potential gifts...

but...yeah... the envelopes made me crazy.... I don't buy enough envelopes of one color to then punch a hole in one of them and put it on a ring... LMAO

and each color of enamel dots has its own little tray in the enamel dot drawer... *chuckling here*

maybe it's all less $$$ than paying for psychiatric care... but she's got a level of OCD that I don't ever want to have...

Collection is definitely the right word. Mind you, I've a collection of my own, but I was never a fan of sterile environments and I make an effort (sometimes I fail but I do try) to not seriously overflow my space. I'm also a fan of purging what I no longer have an interest in, and passing things along to others to use.

As for the already made cards, I have a stash of those myself, both at work and at home, but I do try to use them when I need a card, and I've gifted sacks to friends and family several times.
