Organize your Stuff: Week 19 (round 3): Chipboard Part 1

This week starts the Anniversary events for Tuesday Trio, and Creative me is so honored to have the sketch that she created be chosen for this week! Pop on over to Tuesday Trio and have a chance to get some great free blog candy! Here is my Design Team Card for Sketch #49!

Just so you know, when this sketch was submitted to Tuesday Trio, Creative Me was still a contestant, and did not really think that we had a chance of making the design team. Therefore, she had no problem with suggesting that the bonus challenge was to use stitching…since she was not going to make the team… So, imagine the POW’s surprise when the Sketch was accepted and we made the design team!

You may not be aware, but currently, my sewing machine and I are on strict supervised visitations. Apparently, she has tension issues that she enjoys taking out on Creative Me and OCD Me. This causes extreme amounts of stress and violent tendencies on the parts of my personalities. (Note: It took me forty minutes to stitch four inches with my machine without it jamming up. Creative me could have hand stitched the whole thing in less time. But why hand stitch when you have a sewing machine? With tension issues?!?!)

Now, to the issue at hand…chipboard. Ok, OCD Me has serious chipboard issues. This is where we ended up after Round 2.  Totally under inspiring.  Now, the Inner Hoarder has not acquired that much chipboard, so this should not be a big deal. But, the POW has come to realization that since we do not have enough chipboard for nine (9) 12x12 Iris containers (and Fabulous Spouse, don’t worry! We do not intend to go shopping and get more just to make this mentally easier! …. Hmmm, shopping…. No. Must stick to budget!) like Zen Master Wookiemouse (her blog here), it is actually more of a challenge.

So, provided that the weather gods don’t have a sick sense of humor, and keep my kids home with a snow day or two this week, the POW has promised to support OCD Me and come up with a solution that does not involve a giganticly big bin. Wish us luck and rain instead of snow!
