The boxes are being brought back into the house, so as I'm opening, I'm culling.
That being said - I'm putting together a box. So far it's all embellishments but I'm sure some paper and art supplies will end up in it soon. Anyone want a box from me?
I think I'll be in the same boat you are... someday.... whenever Mike gets motivated to work on flooring in my craft room again. So.... I'd better say no at this point. LOL

(Sheepishly raising my hand...) I don't need anything but it would be fun to have.
Once Christmas is over and packed away I will be doing my annual craft room gut job. I’ll probably have a few boxes to donate.
This summer I did a mini-purge and filled 3 large boxes of assorted crafty stuff. I donated them to my friend who got me started in this business in the first place, LOL. She is a high school home ec teacher and makes her students scrap and make cards for hospital patients, etc. She was thrilled to get all that stuff and it will go to great use.

I did a major purge this fall. I offered it up on our local Buy Nothing Facebook group. Two of the women were thrilled as their children were all into crafting. Another woman was on a scrapbooking hiatus. She might be lurking here (I hope!) but we plan to get together later in January. I was so happy it all went to homes where it will be used.
I think this Christmas might be the first year that I literally get nothing new to craft with, so I probably won't have that post-holiday re-org that I typically try to do to cram in all my new goodies without getting rid of anything else. LOL.
So the fact that I'm not bringing anything new into the craft room this season is kind of like downsizing, right?
Strangely enough, George decided that my nice big folding table was too large. WTH??? I never have enough working room when I start a project as it is! So he went to IKEA and got me a new desk. The dratted thing is half the size of my folding table. I wanted to down size but this is ridiculous. I may end up at Lowe's picking up a nice long (and wider) piece of wood for a new desk top.
You're nicer than me, Pam. I would have returned the desk! That's the one thing DH never messes with. My tables and storage are mine. I leave his alone, he leaves mine alone. Makes for a more harmonious marriage.

No matter the size of my work surface, I end up working in. 12 x 12 space. Always.
