I am an organization freak. I have all kinds of storage boxes. I even label everything including the drawers on my tool box! That is why I know it is time to DELETE. I don't even have room for anymore storage boxes!! LOL LOL You are correct about clearing out stuff to make room for "new energy". I just fear the minute I start clearing out found objects from my studio, I will need them sooner or later. However, I should be thankful. At least I can walk around my house and studio. Have you ever seen those pack rat people with piles of stuff all over everything. Geesh! I am not that bad!! :-) Kirsty, Oh no!! I am an organization freak. I have all kinds of storage boxes.

I go through phases where I can't be bothered to deal with the clutter and the things I'm procrastinating on (that's how they end up that way in the first place!) and then I'll get a bee in my bonnet and tackle it head on until I run out of steam and then go back to ignoring it. My word for this year is 'balance' though, so perhaps I can find a less on/off way to deal with it. Well I don’t think it’s compulsory, Mark but yeah, I think there’s something about turning 40 that brings this sort of stuff up.

I just discovered a company called The Really Useful Box Company and I've started using some of their boxes and insert trays for my most frequently used art kit. They are transparent, come in lots of different sizes and the lids snap shut and lock, which is very useful when I need to move stuff from the studio to the bedroom where I do most of my journalling. If I hadn't already invested heavily in stackable Ikea boxes with lids, I'd switch completely but most of my stuff is already boxed up. Maybe you should have asked for storage boxes, Sheree!
