Organised to within an inch of your life!

It will come as no surprise to those who know me, that I am NOT a rummager. I mean I love to rummage through junk yards or sales looking for a bargain, but when it comes to storage, containers are my thing.

The lovely Carol Mead, from Tattered Inspirations, was having a clean our of her stash. Being the generous soul that she is, she offered to share with her friends on Facebook. I was the lucky recipient of a parcel CHOCK FULL of alphabetical goodness.


I tried, I really did. I put them all together into a drawer on my little craft trolley. I also added in a couple of packets of chipboard alphas from my own stash. They looked so bright and cheery. But then I needed a C. Just one C. Pretty please. After 5 minutes of rummaging, I was well and truly over it! (And by the way, if you ever need a W, I am the person to hit up!) So I set out to get them organised.


At  this point, I was breathing a little easier. The shifty little C had been located and all was looking fine. Next step - bag them! A nice divided container would have been perfect - but alas there was not one to be found amongst my stuff.


And here they are, all orderly in their little plastic baggies. The numerals are still cohabiting - I wonder how long that will last?
