about this book: As soon as I thought of the title, "Crafty Decluttering," I knew that I needed a book to go with it. Yes, the title came before the book. The clutter came before the title. I had enough clutter for a book.

Crafting...clutter...they go together. What crafter has enough space? How many crafters keep their creation spaces ultra-organized? Surely, some creative people are tidy throughout the creation process. I don't know any, but they must exist...somewhere!

This book will not transform your life. Sorry! Nonetheless, this book may be just what you need to motivate you to tackle your own decluttering venture. And motivation is important! Also, if you gain one tip or technique that you continue to use, you will be one step closer to attaining your organizational goals.

"Crafty Decluttering" has a light-hearted tone and more pictures than words. This makes for a very quick read to give you more time to start your own organizing.

It was actually quite embarrassing to document my disaster zone. I did it for you, for my fellow crafters who just might need some inspiration and ideas. I make wire-wrapped jewelry, but many of the organizational principles could be applied to various types of craft supplies.

I share a 9' x 11' room with my very organized husband who uses his half--OK, his 1/3 or maybe his 1/4--for office space. I have a LOT of stuff to stuff--I mean, to organize in a small space. It's a challenge.

One person who read "Crafty Decluttering" said that she laughed throughout the book. She makes fabric wreaths. Apparently, she could relate to clutter. Imagine.

The recently updated book is available in paperback and as a Kindle book.
