So school has just started up again and I'm back to very little free time again! But as usual, I'd rather put off cleaning my house for some unwinding in the crafting department. Stress relief come in many flavors and since wine at 11 am is socially unacceptable, I do arts and crafts!
I am going to be doing a big move in a year or so and my lovely fiance pointed out that I have a lot of "craft crap". I downsized a while ago but it just turned into an excuse to buy newer and better stuff. And while I told him to mind his business and worry about downsizing his own stuff, I unfortunately realized he's right. So the solution is kits!
Have you ever bought a pack of absolutely BEAUTIFUL card stock on sale and realized that while you love every page (or don't, in some cases) you just don't need repeats of each page that seem to make the whole stack weight about 3 lbs.
I also usually work small. Mini books, traveler's notebooks, cards, etc. So a full 12x12 scrapbook page goes a long way for me. So for gifts for my crafty friends (and etsy, working on getting that set up. It's coming soon!) I decided scrapbooking/card kits are the way to go!

It also really clears up my scrap pile. As any crafty person knows even the tiniest shape of paper can be used for something, it's part of being a hoarder creative. Cutting them into little squares and finally saying goodbye is the first step to recovery. And by recovery I of course mean clearing space for new hobby lobby sale finds.
