Craft Hoarders

I have an idea for a reality show. TLC, call me. I’m on phase–I don’t know–a billion of cleaning out and organizing my craft room. I have a ton of stuff that I use regularly. But I also have a ton of stuff that hasn’t been touched in ages. I thought I’d taken care of most of it when we …
