Default All My Craft Room Needs is Police Tape & A Chalk Line... and maybe a Workbox!!!

A few of my closest friends have heard the stories... but now, I am coming forward with evidence because most people can't believe the severity of my problem! You see, I have a little boy with a very.... shall we say.... creative spirit. And, this little devil - I MEAN DARLING - has a bedroom that is directly across the hall from my craft room.

It all started one day when my son came down stairs with a little twinkle in his eye. But, as I took a closer look, I noticed that his whole body sort of twinkled. That's when fear struck me like a lightening bolt as I realized that the twinkles were the colors of 7 bottles of ultra fine glitter I had just purchased that day!

I ran upstairs and found the empty bottles sitting near the toilet. That was about the time that my son chirped in and said excitedly how fun it was to "cook" with my shiny things! The toilet was sparkling... and I don't mean in a clean way.

Things just sort of went down hill from there. I woke up one morning to a son with very black hands and found this lovely site greeting me upon my entrance to my craft room:

EXHIBIT A

My son told me that he was "washing my doors" and I found a permanent black ink pad mysteriously open in his room.

Here is the carpet in my craft room after my son decided to squeeze out all of the ink from one of my reinkers. This is what it looks like after 2 carpet shampoos.

Not long after, my son and I discovered a new passion. Copic markers.

And I don't care what you say, Copic does NOT come out of porcelain with rubbing alcohol, Magic Eraser, or any other infomercial cleanser. Believe me. I've tried it all.

EXHIBIT C

EXHIBIT D

Here is the hideous wallpaper in the hallway adjacent to my craft room where my son.... once again... colored with my Copic marker. I mean, with wallpaper as ugly as this... it might have been an improvement!?!

EXHIBIT E

This is a picture that I found on my camera of my son. Do I really need to say anymore? LOL!


The Guilty Party


I do have one question. Does this storage system have the capability of sporting a large bolt or lock? Maybe a retina scanner????

In all seriousness, I would LOVE to have a storage unit like this (I mean... who in their right mind WOULDN'T!?!). My craft room is VERY tiny & I have organizational issues like a lot of us craft addicts. My craft budget is small too... and it makes it worse when supplies mysteriously disappear. ;)

Having a place to store all of my supplies that could be CLOSED up when not in use would be amazing! Thanks for the chance at winning such an incredible product!
