I am so excited as I have spent the last few days "organizing" my stamp room. I now have all of my cardstock in a 2 drawer file cabinet, my eyelets and brads are all in one container, I have my punches all in a cabinet near my work area vs in the closet, have my Sizzix and dies out instead of in the closet, my Accu Cut big die cut machine is out and I am about to start on my LARGE ribbon collection.
So...the payoff not only came from being able to see what I have and get to it quickly but in the process of cleaning up, I found a 100.00 gift card for Michaels from about 2 years ago

What a very pleasant surprise - finding the Michael's $100 gift card. I suppose it's like finding a $20 dollar bill in your coat pocket from a coat worn last winter.
I, too, spent a day last week rearranging my stamping stuff - making it more accessible, etc. It's a job, but sure is satisfying.

Congrats on the find, but I will give you a warning. For some reason, I thought I heard that gift cards expire at some point. I may have heard wrong, but I thought the news said one time thats how stores make their money is because some people dont use their cards or wait too long. So the stores have the money and get to keep their merchandise. Good Luck and I hope I am wrong!!!
Thanks for the caution on the gift card expiring..luckily I am in California and they do not expire but I understand in many other states they do! Sure seems like if you pay for a card it should not expire huh! Happy New Years
Congrats on finding that gift card! Also in getting your crafting space organized!
Your little "find" of the day reminded me of a couple times we found money...
Once when dh and I finally decided to balance the checking account (*blush* this happened when we were first married, many moons ago). Anyhow, dh found we had $400 more in the account than we thought. Turns out he had deposited a check from his second job, and FORGOT TO WRITE IT DOWN in the register! LOL We felt like we had hit the lottery!
Another time when there was too much week between checks, he found 40 dollars in a coat pocket. Not a moment too soon either! LOL
