i draw here, i paint here, i glue here.
i make a really REALLY big mess here (most every day).
over the years i have discovered that i just can't seem
to throw out an old paint brush.
to throw out an old paint brush.
one never knows when you might need a crusty old brush to apply
a thick layer of YES glue or perhaps to chisel through a layer of paint.
you name it and i probably have it somewhere (in spades).
in my mind there is nothing worse than
needing something and not having it in your reach.
and that would explain why i have all these bins filled with bits and bobs.
i have beads (and more beads), old paper, new paper, tape, wire,
glitter, stamps, ink, pen nibs, fabric, labels, stickers, paper punches,
ribbon, jars and jars of old game pieces.
ONE MUST BE PREPARED. it's actually becoming a bit ridiculous,
but i can't seem to stop!
