The next cupboard I am going to work on is one that very seldom gets opened. Why? Because my video making light is attached to the door handle and it blocks the use of both doors.

Boggles the mind to think that anything creative would ever come out of this space of Chaos.
I forgot to take a “Before” picture of this cupboard. There still is not much in it but at least it is organized.
Book binding cupboard
On the bottom shelf is my newly acquired We R Memory Makers Cinch. In the center of the shelf is my Zutter Bind-It-All that I’ve had for a number of years. Next to the Zutter is a Silent Setter tool made by Provo Craft and purchased long before this century went into the double digits. Sometime around 2006. Next to that is a Christmas gift I received from a friend. A Slice tool set.
On the sort of “middle” shelf are my binding wires for both the Zutter and the Cinch. I can move the shelf pegs down just a bit in the event I acquire more binding wires.
Now to the top shelf. I’ll start with the right side of the shelf. My “sane” purchases. The purchases I made over the years that have a purpose and are used frequently.
There is the Crimping Tool. I freely admit that this tool has not been used for quite a number of years.

Next to the Crimping Tool are my hole punch tools. My We R Memory Keepers Big Bite and my Cropadile. I do use these. In fact, I used the Cropadile when I made the tags for the buckets in my other cabinet.
Cropadile and Big Bite
Now to the insanity. A big basket of insanity to be exact. This is Plexiglass. Not just any Plexiglass either. These are off cuts from some manufacturing facility somewhere in Kansas. The Yard Store in Wichita, Kansas had shelves full of these off cuts. I saw the price of 10 for $1.00 and I went nuts.
Plexiglass off cuts
You see….my thinking was – and still is….these pieces would make fantastic mini albums. The “feet”, which are standing upright now, would help to hold the mini album upright. I have made one mini album using this Plexiglass and gave the finished item to my youngest daughter about six years ago. Nothing has happened with these since then.
There is a lot of “real estate” to stamp, even heat emboss, attach photos and tons of embellishments.
Lots of creative space
Now that I am home and not on the road being a truck driver I think I will make use of several of these pieces.
For now, I’m pleased that all my book binding supplies and tools are in one place and within easy reach. Now I need to figure out where I will hang the video making light.
Aye Ca-rumba! My desire to get this room organized is flagging. The further I go the worse the mess becomes. I guess it is just time to…..
Put my big girl panties on
Stick with me. The organizational mission is continuing. Buckle up. It is proving to be one heck of a bumpy ride
