Today is World Cardmaking Day. It is an event which occurs every 1st saturday in october and has been going on for 7 years now. This is a day for card makers all over the world to celebrate the creativity of handmade cards and to share with others this fantastic hobby. My intention was to enjoy a full day of crafting and surfing the net for inspiration as I knew there would be alot of events on through out the crafting community to celebrate the day. What happened instead is this......
My craft room was completely emptied and the carpet stripped out of it for a different one. I say different as its new to the room but not brand new. The reason being that my chair has been damaging the carpet underneath and had started to come away so I needed a better surface as it is where I craft.
This in turn created this in my bedroom .....
Complete chaos. You can tell your self time and time again 'I dont have that much craft stuff' but trust me when you have to empty the entire contents of your craft room into your sleeping quarters its alittle hard to deny that there really is alot of stuff there. I was alittle worried what my partner might think as he would get a clearer picture of exactly what stuff I do have so I did as much loading and unloading as I could to keep the true picture of my obsession under wraps.
The end result has been that I have not managed to make any cards today :-(. However....tomorrow is GNPE; Great Northern Papercrafts Extravaganza so I am super excited for that. I cant wait to see all the stands, take pictures of the amazing inspiration, chat with fellow crafters, stroke the gorgeous papers and buy copious amounts of card candi which I dont need. I do however after todays experience wonder exactly where any of these new purchases may go as the room is full to bursting now I have put everything back in but hey ho thats half the fun.
