My love for horses began when I was a child. I dreamed of one day owning my own horse. That reality never came to pass but my love for horses has never diminished. I still try to capture these amazing animals on paper or in photographs. See the illustration below the disclaimer.

Do you have items in your craft room that you have had for years but never used them? Can you name 5 ways to declutter your craft room? How often do you declutter your craft room? Do you use the same tactics for decluttering the craft room as you do for the rest of the household? How does the clutter of the craft room effect your mood?
Let’s break down each question into smaller bite size chunks. The first question is what are 5 ways to declutter a craft room? According to www.au.reachout.com they advise using these solutions to declutter your mind. A few of the ideas could be applied to decluttering the craft room. So lets take a look at the first few.
Adding a few of my own here.
If you find that you get overwhelmed by the amount of clutter this is a time to take things a bit slower and divide the room into sections.
For example: * Write down: Section A – E, : (Section A has this…. books, tape, paper, etc.)
By writing down each section and the contents of each section you’ll be more prepared to tackle the section. If you feel that you are still getting overwhelmed. Divide the room even smaller sections up to the point your comfortable to do that particular section with ease.
To begin to tackle the declutter. Its recommended to start with the worst section first. Don’t forget to take a before photo (for later). Taking a photo also is helpful to look at when your working on other stuff to help make a plan of what to keep or not keep. When decluttering group items together. This is extra storage bins can come in handy when sorting out stuff or grouping things together.
Scheduling when to declutter helps to keep time to a minimum and prevents from over working to the point of being overwhelmed. Depending on the size of the declutter it’s recommended to only work on it a little each day. For example: Date: 8/10 /2021 Declutter, Time: 20 min. Next week: Date: ?/?/?, Time: 20 min., etc. Until the project is completed. Don’t get discouraged just keep going.
Another article suggests avoid distractions, make it fun and reward yourself. You can find more of their suggestions here: http://www.thesimplictyhabit.com
For things that are unrelated to the craft room but your not ready to get rid or can’t get rid of. Can they be stored in a separate container or tub? Can they be stored somewhere else? Do you need a written plan or schedule to move them as well? If so proceed just like above, just a different subject.
What’s the length of time that you had the items in your craft room? Is it new or is it year’s? Another words if it’s something new then it’s still relatively on the market to get more of. If its month’s or year’s then the probability to replace the item or get more of it decreases. In some cases completely obsolete. Its the obsolete items that is the issue here. If its obsolete then the question should be, should we keep it or let it go? The old saying comes to mind, “we can’t keep everything’. If we kept everything then our space or spaces would have no room for the new.
Can you name 5 ways you can declutter your craft space? Can you name 5 more? What rewards would you give your self for decluttering? Would you challenge someone you know to declutter their craft room?
How often would you declutter your craft room? Perhaps every 6 months is a good start. If need be maybe every year. It depends on how you feel and how often your space gets cluttered. Some of us may need to declutter more often than others. Meaning: twice a month or just four times a year. No one can really answer this question better than yourself.
Can the same tactics be used for the rest of the home? Absolutely! However, it’s recommended to do each room separately and divide. It’s not recommended to try to do it all at once.
How does clutter of the craft room effect your mood? Clutter can stifle creativity in some people while clutter can benefit others. Meaning a little clutter can encourage by giving one something visual to spark an idea. You may be a person that feels debilitated all together over clutter. Another words, have zero tolerance for clutter.

Happy Memorial Day weekend for those of you who celebrate the holiday. Happy weekend for those that don’t. I had to take a short break from typing, lifting stuff, writing, stretching and pretty much any thing that involved moving muscles after being injected. Few days after I’m almost back to my normal self. Nearly caught up on everyday living stuff and sitting down to do some research. I have found the answer I was looking for. Here it is: Posting everyday on Word Press. In my reality I’m not so certain I can come up with something to say every single day. So that means I’m going to have to come up with a plan to have things lined up to talk about. I am curious as to how many bloggers actually plan out ahead of time what they are going to talk about? How many bloggers use prompts? Maybe when I get going further down the road I’ll throw in a few craft projects.
I would like to take the time to remind everyone that you are now able to sign up for email notifications so that you are able to be notified every time I post. You can do that here if you haven’t done so already:

I have gone thru a whole week retrospectively happy reading e-mails, checking (FB), play on Instagram, checking Redbubble saving YouTube for last. Scrolling thru the videos to see which one I want to watch first. I stopped short reading a tittle “I’m ready to Quit!”. I was stunned. Here somebody I adore and I wanted to scream at her “Oh No u don’t!”. I didn’t get all the way thru the video. I was compelled to contact her. I let her know how I felt and that she is loved.
The next day she posted another video completely different head line. She had explained how other people’s words meant to her besides mine. (The outpouring was a blessing) Sometimes we just need to connect to that one person to make a world of difference.
My point is this, please be kind to yourself and to others. ( to help protect her privacy and her family I conveniently left out her name) ( this is in response to answer assignment 11. Prompts) https://www.dailypost.Wordpress.com
