I have so many things to share with you today, but since it is Halloween I’ll let you know they are all treats and no tricks!
I have a video tour of my craft room for you today, it’s almost finished I still have to find homes for a few things and I’m sure I will move things around but I wanted you to see it in all it’s glory and yes it is tidy………but that is only because I hadn’t started crafting this morning when I filmed it ! The video is at the end of the post, but you so need to read the rest of this………………

I loved the tour of your craft room and my jaw dropped when you opened the drawer with all your punches in it! Thanks for sharing – you are very fortunate to have so much space in which to create your inspiring projects!
Hi Amanda, thank you so much, I adore my punches and to be fair that is 7 years worth…….! You are very kind about my projects too xxx
wow Amanda what a fab space. You deserve it .
You
Thank you so much Janice !
Hi Amanda, love your new craft room – I could do with cupboards rather than just plastic drawer units as I can see that I can get more in cupboards – mine is tidy like yours when I am not working but at the moment have been running a week of classes in my kitchen and my two tables in my craft room have been used as a dumping ground until I put everything away again tomorrow and begin my planning for next weeks classes. It doesnt help that I am also making Christmas cards to sell and to send at the moment. Take care, see you next week, Roz xx
Thanks Roz, you are such a busy lady, it’s no wonder it’s a bit messy at the moment ! See you next week x
After a break from crafting due to various reasons I’m back and enjoying catching up on lots of new goodies and inspiration. What a delight the Internet is with U tube and blogs and oh so many useful links.
Loving your craft room so clean and organised and shows what can be done within a UK house.
Many thanks Penny x
Hi Penny, thank you for leaving a message, Youtube and the internet is so fab, I’m so pleased you found me too! I have to confess my craft room isn’t always that tidy though! Welcome back to crafting x
Hi Amanda, your craft room looks fab, well worth waiting for & how many ink pads????
Hope it’s not too long before we see each other.
Much love Helen xx
Mmmm yes lots of ink pads Helen, it’s the re-inkers that shocked me !!!!! I hope to see you soon x
wow,i love the organisation you have in your room, some lovely touches too, good colours, seems calm and tranquile too, loved you sharing it, some great ideas xx
Thank you so much Paula ! It is calm most of the time……..and generally a bit messier too!
Fab video, your room looks great 🙂
Thank you so much Tanya !
Wow, am watching your room tour now, it’s amazing, I love all the surface space you have and it’s all so organised!!!

Jackie x (edited to correct blog address)
Believe me Jackie it isn’t usually like that honestly! I will be posting some pictures of my normal craft space!
Dear Amanda,
I just ‘found’ your blog by browsing for ideas for my curvy keepsake box. And I am so glad I did find you.. I love the idea for the Christmas pudding so much. I subscribed to your blog straight away via email!
I would love to take part in your giveaway. I live in the UK. Thanks so much for being so generous.
Nessie
Thank you so much Nessie, I’m so pleased you found me. Have you seen my penguin? I have an Elf and Santa coming soon!
It was an inspiration to see your craft room and how you organise everything. Thank you for posting the video.
Thank you for your kind comments Fanny.
Wayfair have so many lovely things I’m keeping my fingers firmly crossed
They certainly do Tracey, good luck!
You have got a fabulous craft room and how organised you are! I love the Kallax Storage.
I love my Kallax too Maggie, the Turquoise gloss is fabby!
I love how you have things organised. An amazing offer too. I really could do with organising my stuff better.
I think organising is so tough for us crafters Sarah! Try doing a small bit at a time ! It’s taken me 7 years to get the stuff the way it is now x
thank you for the tour of your craft room, it’s very organised. I only wish mine was as nice as yours!
Thank you so much Julie. I do like to be organised, but it doesn’t come easy !
Really lovely craft room! I wish I had a fraction of the organisation that you do! My space is such an unorganised mess but this has given me a bit of motivation to get arranging things! xx
Brilliant, thanks Sarah, do send me some pictures when you are done I would love to see!
great prize .. I love their kitchen stuff
Thanks Kellyjo. Good luck!
What a wonderful craft space you have Amanda. You know they say the best tips are the most simple – well your tip for using Washi Tape to hold down the ends of ribbon on the roll if fantastic!!! So simple, easy and it works! Just one of those little things that make life so much easier so thank you for that. Thanks so much too for all the inspiration you give, I do value and appreciate it all.
Hi Linda
Thank you so much for leaving a comment, I’m so pleased that my tips have helped x
Love your video and thanks for a lovely giveaway 🙂
Thank you so much Kim !
WOWsers! Fab craft room 😀 I’m hanging my head in shame at the mess I have in my craft room at the moment…oh to be organised! lol
Thank you so much Christine, please don’t hang your head you should see it now………..!
I can promise you Jackie it’s not normally that tidy!
Hi Amanda – many thanks for sharing your craft room with us. It looks to be a lovely work space, especially with the natural light at both ends. I might just have to get one of the table lights so I can work in the evening now it is getting dark earlier. I also like the way you store your papers – what have you used for the speciality (glimmer paper) as it looks a lot thinner than the storage boxes for the 12×12 papers. The lovely turquoise magazine files on your desk – are they from IKEA? Hope you don’t mind all these questions?
Hi Angela Thanks for your message, the 12×12 storage boxes I got from Storage4crafts, it was some time ago though you are right they are much thinner that the usual 12×12 magazine files. The turquoise ones are a Martha Stewart range that I bought in Staples. Hope that helps x
Hi Amanda – wow, that is one wicked room. Thanks so much for sharing, it’s given me loads of inspiration. See you soon. Axx
Thank you so much Amanda, so pleased it has inspired you x
What a fab space and so organised. I find I craft much more frequently when I have everything organised and know where to find it all 🙂
Rachele
It’s only taken 25 years of marriage and my hubby saying if you keep things tidy you don’t waste time looking for it, to make me this tidy!
dear Amanda,
Great initiative this prize draw!! I watched your craft room tour and promptly filmed my own! You are lucky having a big room like that, so you can spread out, but generally I find the bigger it is the more space you have to get messy too! Mine is very small so I have to be tidy…… My tour was concentrating on my filming equipment, as I have had lots of questions about that! I love those little baskets you have inside the boxes per project, they are sooooo cute!!!
Thank you very much Anja, I shall look forward to seeing your video too!
Love your new craft room Amanda – great video and fabby prizes too x
Thank you very much Liz, good luck!
Wow! What a lovely craft room! Some great tips re organisation. You have inspired me to sort out my stash. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so pleased to have helped Claire, I’ve learnt lots over the years from other people too.
I would love to have enough space to build a room just like yours, it must be the ultimate way to relax. Your hard work gas paid off, hope you enjoy every !minute in there xx
I relax and work in there Katie, as it’s my full-time job during the day I’m working in there but I do sneak in often just to play with my crafty stuff!
What a wonderful room – something to aspire to! Thanks for sharing it with us. Glad I don’t have to show you my randomly stored stash though!
I think I am going to do another blog post so we can everyones rooms Fran, it’s really interesting ! So you will be able to share if you want to.
Really enjoyed the video, please enter me into the giveaways – I love Wayfair 🙂 xxx
Thanks Natalie, you are in the draw!
Have just finished watching your craft room video Amanda. It is GORGEOUS!! I bet you are thrilled with it. I remember seeing it a few months ago . It was nearly there except the finishing touches and flooring. I know you have waited a long time for your very own crafty dedicated space and all I can say is …it was well worth the wait. You lucky stamper you!!
Thank you so much Leanne, I am so thrilled with it, it’s such a lovely place to work, not that you can call stamping work !
Wow the craft room looks amazing xx
Thank you very much Deb !
