Craft Room Clean Up!

 Hey Y'all!

Slight change of plans:

Originally it was this~

11th Fri~ Craft Room Update
14th Mon~ How-to stencil w/ Cricut

But my Uncle passed away last week, so my sister, Mom, and I road tripped to KY for the services (Thursday/Friday). So, between that and prepping for the snow "storm" we got on Saturday I couldn't blog on Friday, and didn't have time to prep for todays.


Today will be my cleaned up craft room, and the 18th (Friday) will be the stencil How-To!

It was a mess! In all honestly it doesn't look much different in pictures, but I know the drawers are more organized, and I have more floor space.

Before~

I started moving things around, and then realized I had forgot to take any pictures. In the first few pics I had already moved some stuff out of the closet, and made room for the purple rolling cart, and my Silhouette, since I don't use it near as often.


Very messy desk area.

I don't know why Hubby hooks the printer up on the floor.


Vinyl everywhere!

More vinyl!


The bookcase area(s) didn't change much overall.



So much vinyl! (This didn't change either, it took me forever the first time I set it up.)


Scraps, transfer tape, and infusible ink.

Cards, most of these got trashed.

Under the desk.


In progress~
This was about an hour into the clean up/declutter/organization.

Decided to hang my Cricut mats, I think I'll like this better (than under the machine).

Scooted the Air 2 over to fit the Canon printer on my desk, and yes, more vinyl.

Floor!!

W.I.P. Decluttering...

Floor all vacuumed.


After~
Areas that didn't change past the progress report aren't re-pictured.

Foot space!

All my smaller dies are in the box.

Shirt inventory I need to log in, but clean floors!

Deciding where I'm putting sheets of HTV. (On the first shelf of this cart.)

Overview of the room.



Decided I had wayyyy to much vinyl to keep the scraps, so they got decluttered. Only keeping the HTV scraps for the foreseeable future. (Nothing else here really changed.)

(The cords have been re-routed now.)



These drawers got decluttered too.




What did I declutter?
As I mentioned already I threw away most of the cards, and decluttered all my (regular) vinyl scraps. I also went through all my pens and now have one small tray of them instead of that plus a Tropicana Casino cup full. A good majority were dried up and got tossed. ( I went through my markers not long ago.)  The Tropicana cup now holds my skin toned markers. 

Declutter~

Everything fits in 3 boxes.

A lot of misc. Stickers, brand new scented markers, stamp pads I have duplicates of, more stickers, paint, Cricut Jukebox, etc. The entire Keurig box is skeins of yarn.

Vinyl scraps.

Crochet hooks, I only kept my favorites, I don't need all of these.

Lastly, a Bowdabra, and a ton of 12x12 paper.


The craft room is so much better organized now! 
What should I do with the decluttered items? Any good places you know of to donate them? Let me know in the comments below!


Have a great day,

February Makeup Looks

 Hey Y'all!

I feel like I did a pretty good job at  the amount of days I wore makeup, however they're all pretty basic looks, save one or two:


February!

1) Scan Day.


2)

3) By far my favorite look this past month. (Also the day I actually spent a decent amount of time on my look.)





4) My least favorite look.


5)

6)

7)

8)

I really did well at the beginning of the month, and okay at the end, but throughout the middle? Not so much. It's a work in progress. So far for March I think I've got 3. It is something I enjoy, so I need to make it a part of my daily routine!

Which  do you do first, eyes or face? Sound off below!

(I tend to do face primer, foundation, (if  I'm wearing it) then powder, eyes next, then the rest of my face (bronze, blush, highlight), lips I always do last, then setting spray!


Have a great day,

Craftin' Wife

New Items for Facebook, Etsy, and the new goimagine!

 Hey Y'all!

I'm not adding anything to Smoky Mountains Handmade Creations this go 'round, my shelves are pretty full there.

I have added a new online shop: https://goimagine.com/craftinwifescreations/ I really love their platform, 100% charity, and US based. Check them out here! 


What's New?

Mailbox Decals, made to fit your mailbox, customizable.

Can make for flat (attached to house) mailboxes as well.

Six designs to choose from here, but can always custom make something as well.

Starting at $20 USD







This month's shirts have a bit of a camping theme:

$18- $21 USD Unisex Adult S-4X, other sizes available upon request. 


Happy Glamper!


Camp Life.


Eat. Sleep. Camp. Repeat.


This is how we roll!

The last shirt:
Radiate Positivity!
$21 USD Adult S-4X, other sizes available upon request.
Keep in mind due to the many aspects of the rainbow vinyl, and a handcrafted item each one would look a bit different if you chose that design.

Have a great day,

February Mini Review & March Every Day Makeup Shelf

 Hey Yall!

Here's March's shelf~


We'll get to it in a minute, but first a reminder of what I was working with in February~

http://craftinwifescreations.blogspot.com/2022/01/january-mini-review-february-everyday.html

I did finally get to test out the Naked Reloaded palette a few times, and I agree with my sisters assessment. It's ok, but nothing wow about it. Easily forgettable, and not great enough quality to justify the price. It will most likely end up decluttered in the next round. Everything else I've either mentioned before, &/or have a positive opinion on. Let me know in the comments below if you'd like my opinion on any item(s).


On to this month's products!

The Dose of Colors nudes, and a few glosses.. I really want to use the Anastasia Lip Kit more.
My lips have been dry and cracked in early February, so the Vaseline was a necessity. I think the weather is starting to change here in TN so, time to start going back to the heavier sunscreen products.

I've yet to use any of these palettes yet, so I'm excited to see what looks I can come up with this month.


I have used the Stila liquid eyeshadow a few times, and I love it! I was a bit worried it would end up all over the place, but it dries pretty quickly, and stays in place.

Do you have any of these? What's your favorite? What didn't work for you? Let me know in the comments below!

Have a great day,
Craftin' Wife
