Anyone who has ever said moving isn’t hard is a liar. It isn’t just HARD, it’s HARD LABOR.

So what does Crafting have to do with Moving? Well, for me, it’s been both frustrating and rewarding. Remember a few months ago when I blogged about having OCD (Obsessive Crafting Disorder)? And how I mentioned that every once in a while I would find a bag of crafting supplies that I had forgotten I had purchased? Yeah¦.about that¦apparently I’m a bit more pack ratty than even I knew. So much so, that I find myself in two minds over the overwhelming amount of stuff I have¦.

I have found SO many things of crafty joy over the past month that I’m beginning to judge my own shopping behaviors if I’m finding hundreds, if not THOUSANDS, of dollars worth of crafting supplies I didn’t know I had. It’s sick. It’s sad. It’s pathetic.

I mean, how can I NOT know I have all this stuff lurking about? And never mind the TON of inspiration I’ve been getting for MAKING crafts. Which sadly, until this move is over, I can’t even BEGIN to contemplate crafting.

However, that said, have I mentioned that I’ve found hundreds, if not THOUSANDS, of dollars worth of crafting supplies? This means when I get done with this move, I will have PLENTY of supplies to work with for a GOOD long while¦.as soon as I get around to unpacking it all. I cleaned out my room just a few months ago with the idea of getting my crafts in order¦.and I did¦ Then I ended up buying a house this summer (totally didn’t plan to do so¦but it’s not a bad thing). Now, I have this wonderful new house AND a WHOLE room to do nothing but CRAFT in!!! And every time I bring another box load up, I start thinking about how I’m going to set this room up, what will go where and all that planning junk¦.

Then I look at my supplies and realize I have a WHOLE LOT of crafting supplies. I swear they multiply like bunnies¦it can’t be me alone¦.but so much crafty joy¦.that’s a LOT of crafts¦.but it’s a lot of CRAFTS!!!

*sigh*

Anyone know where I can get a good set of house elves?
