OK, that’s a bad cliché because this post is about glue. Sorry.
This is what the drawer looks like that holds all my glue and tapes. The sticky stuff. It’s really a mess! The other day, while I struggled to get the glue in the bottom of the bottle up to the applicator tip, Sarge observed that I should store the bottles upside down.
I had to think about that for awhile. This morning, I needed a different glue and this mess demanded to be addressed! Everything had to come OUT of that drawer!
There were some interesting discoveries:
Apparently I’ve succumbed to “take several – they’re small!”
This is what happens when you pick up the box of toothpicks/craft sticks/coffee stirrers – upside down! Several times apparently!
Now, why would this stuff be in the glue drawer? Hmmmm.
But in the end, things look so much better and I can actually find the glue I wanted!
All it took was some quality time with a cardboard box, roll of tape, and craft knife.
Oh, and the glue I was searching for when this all began? EMPTY!

Makes such a difference when you tidy a drawer or cupboard, doesn't it. I know exactly what is in all my kitchen drawers and cupboards now - the renovation was a great opportunity to clear out some big messes! Not that it means my craft room is going to be renovated any time soon, lol!
I can relate to pretty much all of that! I think I should start playing with a cardboard box etc to sort out my glues, and paints too, but I am a bit worried about the craft knife bit ... that could lead to some unwanted, but colourful, consequences!
