SAVING THE SCRAPROOM 2 | See It After a Month of Work! | Collab with 

You sound happier than I have ever heard you! I'm so glad to have been able to be part of this project. It's been a highlight of my YT "career." Thanks for all your kind words. 🙏 ❤❤ I look forward to completing things on Wednesday! Love you, Mira!❤

I think buying scrap book supplies is a separate hobby than scrapbooking.

Seriously every time you say something about how you're not able to do much due to low energy, I'm over here watching like holy hell woman look at you go making thousands of decisions even though you don't feel well... you're doing amazing ❤

Activity departments in Nursing Homes also appreciate crafting supplies Their budgets are often very tight & residents love to make cards & decorations. Your generosity is their blessing. Great progress.

I wasn't here waiting for this video. Noooo, not me 😅😁

You could donate a lot of your craft items and supplies to a teacher/school - they always need supplies! Xxx

"I lost the money long ago when I spent it on the item". That's a word of wisdom! Maybe that can help me give away stuff! Because I always think, well, I don't like it but I spent money on it (but the money is long gone...)

It's looking incredible.

My craft room is about 10‘ x 10‘ and I view that as a container. This keeps me from buying because I don’t have the room. I don’t put any craft items anywhere but my craft room. I organize, I keep it clean because I don’t have the room to craft otherwise. This the best advice I could give anyone. Keep up the good work!

I live in the city and rather than donating my decluttered items that aren't worth selling I put them into a box, sign it with 'for free' and put it on the curb. Sometimes I even like to watch from high up thorgh my appartment window what happens, people stopping by, digging through it and taking the stuff they want or need with a smile on their face. It always cheers me up and it usually takes only two or three hours until the box is completely empty. It's very common where I live.

Wow, that's not the same room as the one at the beginning! A huge accomplishment by all three of you. Really good to hear the joy and enthusiasm back in your voice, Mira x

For me, when I decluttered my craft area, I trashed 2/3 of all my supplies and tools... literally in big huge black trash bags and bankers boxes, straight in the dumpster... yes, I know, horrific to everyone I have told this to and seen me do it... but I tried decluttering to people I know, regifting, selling, donating... all with their own set of huge problems... TBH I just needed a restart and I needed those things gone, die-cutting machines, silhouette, vagabond, dies by the 100s, 12x12 by the banker's boxes, 6x6 at least 200 pads... and so much more... I knew that money was gone and I didn't have the energy or time to find places for all the stuff to go. So for me, bagged up, boxed up, and straight to the dumpster... I don't regret any of it. And now I have exactly what I wanted... A clean, functioning, newly designed crafting area, all with new furniture and all the supplies and things I love... in perfect neat order. I am a Bee, and once I understood that, it made it so easy to see that I needed order to craft and create. One thing I did learn from decluttering and watching your journey, is I need to not buy anything new, unless and until I have used up that supply... Good luck and I can't wait to see your crafting room complete.

Well Done! That was a big job and you did it! 👏 You let go of a lot. The room looks really good so far it will look great in the end. Thanks for the video.

I'm a cricket. That essentially means I'm a micro organizing perfectionist and therefore a master procrastinator!!😂

I bet a bunch of your followers (especially the paper loving variety) would love to purchase “grab bags” of supplies from your donation pile… just a thought. Not so much about recouping costs, but maybe that money could go toward your decluttering journey and storage. ❤

I’ve helped a friend declutter (we are currently at 2026 items gone!!) but she finds it easier to give/sell items when she hears how much someone else is excited to receive the item. She is using the motivation of if I store it, it keeps someone else from enjoying it!

All I can say is Wow amazing!!

I love the new idea about shopping your room in a circle then returning what you didn't use at the end of the project. That gives me some thoughts too in my own space. Thanks again for continuing to share your journey!

What a dream! This space is going to be magnificent!

So impressive what you have done. Energy and overwhelm ebbs and flows are so part of the process. And I don't think any of the money you spent was wasted--you enjoyed shopping for the items, buying them, looking at them, now passing them on. Your approach to buying, inventory and maintenance is changing, and that will go on for a long time. It is so cool to watch you work through the thoughts and feelings. Thank you for sharing.

That is amazing progress!!! wow!!!

You will never get back what you invested . If you do have a sale, whatever dosnt sell, take it directly to be donated. Dont bring it back inside. Maybe talk to a school teacher and have them come and get whats left after the sale. Donations are tax deductable

Oh my goodness Mira!! What a difference this will make for you!! I am so excited for you with this huge declutter and organization!

I have a strong habit of assuming objects have their own feelings 😅. As a result when I donate things, I feel like they will be happy to be used and enjoyed instead of hidden away, so it's a positive thing when I declutter.

Norma here First let me say that your craft room is lovely. It’s large, bright and built for organizing all the supplies you use while scrapbooking. You certainly have an over abundance of materials though. I love to craft and dabble into all kinds of mixed media projects. I paint on all types of surfaces including rocks. I decoupage and stencil. I have tons of supplies, but not even 1/16th of the amount you have. I just don’t have a space large enough. You all are doing an awesome job of decluttering and organizing. You’re doing a great job of getting rid of stuff too. When all is said and done, you will probably still have more than you’ll ever use, but you’ll have the perfect spot to relax, unwind and do what brings you joy. Colt snd Clay are great company for you. They bring you so much joy and laughter.

You can call schools, daycares, or nursing homes and see if they would like craft donations. That way it doesn't go to waste and you feel your helping people out! Easier to get rid of things when it's helping someone. Can also post for free on internet and whoever wants it can pick it up (no buy groups).

I've been on a long decluttering journey (about 5 years) and I'd now class myself as a minimalist, but I'm still a messy person lol, my husband describes me as a whirlwind, leaving choas where ever I go 😂 the difference now is that because we have so much less stuff we can tidy up within a few minutes rather than it being an all day task 🥰 just thought I'd share that if we are naturally messy we're always going to have clutter around us, it's just so much less stressful to deal with 🥰

You need a rule that you never ever sign up for a subscription service for you or the pups or for leggings, food, scrap supplies etc. ever again. It causes an accumulation of stuff, not a collection of things you value. “That’s how they get you…” then decided not to get “got”. If you thoughtfully hand pick everything coming in to your home you will value and respect your items, and in turn, yourself and the space you share with two pups who can’t control their environment. ❤

I see you in that "That's a Problem for Future Me" Tshirt. Rock it girl! Amazing work.

Loving Bonnie in front of your camera so she’s one of the weird angles 😂 Decluttering is both mentally & physically exhausted. Cut yourself some slack ❤

You’ve got to feel so much joy for your accomplishment in this room! Congratulations!!!!! Cindy💗🌻

I would urge to to second guess having more storage in this room. It's already quite a lot.

You are really going well in this room. I love your laugh.

Wowza Mira! You weren't kidding when you said you are scrapbooker. I am not sure I was prepared for exactly what that meant. If there were Scrapbooking Olympics, I think you would win the gold medal in every event! Look at that inviting space now! All your talent and creativity just willing and ready to be unleashed! I am so impressed with your dedication to this hobby. I cannot believe all those albums on the shelves are like novels you have created of your life! What a legacy to leave your loved ones. Bravo to Bonnie and Ali for helping you get back to this important part of your life in this wonderful usable place!

Great job Mira, Bonnie, and Alli!! Your craft room and your crafting desk look beautiful and cheerful! I am so happy for you Mira, that you now have a clear space where you can create joyfully. I was trying to see if you had a little table for your sewing machine. We are so PROUD of all your hard work and countless hours of sorting, it is so worthwhile!! congratulations. We LOVE you and we LOVE your channel♥♥♥♥♥

Hi, I just discovered your channel and was drawn to it, since I have been working toward organizing and decluttering my craft room and all my craft supplies. When I began, I read a lot of books on the subject, and in doing so, I made a realization. Most people who write books about decluttering and organizing are already organized and have no idea how unorganized people think or how their brains work. We really need someone who has been able to work through their own mess and figured out how to get organized and uncluttered despite their own tendencies. Since you are a writer, maybe you should be the one to write a real book on the subject.

It looks SOOOOO good! It's so great to hear your thought process about letting go.

WOW, WOW, WOW! You 3 ladies have transformed that room. I am just in awe of how you powered through when seeing how many decisions you had to make. You’ve made SO much progress since your first video - in your home and in how you make decisions about your things! I hope you are feeling VERY proud - we are so very proud of you!

I think “Mira” is short for “Miracle”!!! You’ve done a spectacular job so far. I have no doubt that you’ll finish strong. I loved your decluttering questions: “Do I like it enough to buy it again? Would I miss it?” I’m going to use these in the future as I continue my decluttering journey. Thank you, Mira, for being a constant source of inspiration and encouragement! ❤❤❤

Absolutely love your videos! I check in daily for new ones ❤

You have done such a great job with going through your scrapbook stuff. Thanks to Bonnie and Alli for helping you out too!!! Great video as always!

August 2024. 3 of us live in a 2BR apartment near Chicago. If I haven't used a craft item in a year, I pass it on to another crafter. Most of my supplies were free or used anyway. There's a food pantry that takes craft items and a seniors group at a local church. Tina, Al's wife

Mira, I'm just so excited thinking about how EASY it will be to use this room once this project is done. If you're looking for alphabet stickers, you'll know where all of them are. Yes it might be several bins, but they will all be in those bins. You deserve to enjoy your things stress free❤

I've noticed that people who are not crafters don't understand that you have to go through your paper. My daughter just wants to pick up a stack of scrapbook paper and get rid of it. But she doesn't understand my need to go through it first. It doesn't help I'm a doll collector too so I have so many I need to go through. I have an especially hard time to get rid of them. I do wood crafts scrapbooking. Dolls!!! Drawing painting sewing. I collect miniatures. It's unreal. My husband has always been so understanding. He has never been upset about it thankfully. But it's all in the craft room Which was a garage at some point. I love clear bins I changed all of mine out a few years ago. I have to see what's in them!!! You're doing great❤❤❤❤❤!!!! Thank you for taking us along!!!

Oh Mira, you are a force of nature. Look at that room, what a breez of fresh air the scrapbook room has become. Very, very , V E R Y PROUD of you. And i love the idea of you circling the room with a basket in search of items to use: it will be like go shopping every time. Much love and respect from me. Cheers from Italy. Dan

So proud of you to acknowledge that you have an over abundance of items. That’s hard to admit for most of us ❤

Wow! What a transformation. Very well done, you should be so proud of yourself ❤❤

Really nice to hear WHY you throw items out of your room!!

😲 AMAZING! You guys have done a fabulous job!!! You definitely are doing such a great job going thru all your supplies. You seem to be doing really well with decluttering in here... Bonnie is amazing being able to come help you to get things decluttered. Can't wait to see what more you have to come... ❤❤❤

Mira, I have a craft room on a scale similar to yours and have been scrapbooking and cardmaking since 2000, so there are SO MANY things you sorted in your video that I recognize and can name! It cracks me up to see DSP go by and say ‘Oh, that’s SU’s Raspberry Lemonade!’ which is SO old and it’s crazy that I recognize it, but I do! It’s so fun to see your crafty space reappear and I’m so very proud of your efforts to sort and let things go. I too want to keep EVERYTHING, but at some point we have to recognize the limits of the space available. Keep it up girlfriend and get back to scrapping those memories! I practically drooling, I want to come and help you so much! Have fun!

What a difference!😊😊

Whoah, you moved a whole mountain there!! What a gorgeous crafting space, you are doing an amazing job! 🏆 Decluttering can stir up emotions, and you decluttered a LOT. Allow yourself grace to 'decompress' after. Lols not more storage, less stuff!! 💖💖 The room might become the containing boundary for all the creative and crafting things?

This room looks amazing!!!!! Excellent work from all of you, even Cole who helped move stuff around with his shenanigans 😊🎉

Your doing it, thats big be proud of yourself.

Oh Mister Colt is so cute, cheeky boy! 💖

Letting go of a dream is hard work! Wow. I need that on a tattoo!!

Mira! What an amazing result already! To transform this room in such a short time, being able to make so many decisions and also not being afraid of getting help to do all of this! This is huge :) I love the magnetic boards that Bonnie hung up next to your desk.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Wow, you girls have worked so hard, brilliant! ❤❤❤❤❤

I found this to be such an honest and truthful example of many scrap rooms! It was amazing to watch every minute so far! Keep up your good work. And thank you! We all have way too much!

Wow! Mira, you have come so far since your first decluttering videos. You are more positive and more confident in your decision making. So happy for, and proud of, you! And what a difference in the scrapbook room - you’ll really be able to enjoy your hobby again. Keep it going - you’re wonderful! Oh, and I am a combination Bee/Ladybug!

I did a “lot” sale when I stopped scrapbooking. I put everything in one huge lot (a couple times) and posted it for sale on marketplace. My roller bag, pens, books, cutters… all of it. It sold fast! I definitely think about where things go and will wait to make sure things go to “good homes” sometimes to my detriment. 😬

Looks so much better! Good job!!

I always give my extra or unwanted craft/scrap booking items to my community elementary schools. They are so happy to have them ☺️

Wow wow wow. What a huge transformation. At least you can use the room and continue the work. A huge congratulations on all the effort. Stay strong and look after yourself.

I am so happy for you to be getting your scrap room ready to scrapbook again.

I'm so excited for you to have this happy space for you to create in. You probably already know this but give yourself a "self by date" for your discards. It's impeding on your day to day living while it's still in the house so find a way to get it out quickly and if that isn't quick enough find a different way even if it isn't what you would consider ideal. Sometimes we just need it gone so you can turn your focus onto things that are relevant to you now and not something that you've already mentally let go of.

Thank you for showing us your process.

Daaaang! You have a whole scrapbook boutique and studio in your house! Wow!

I like your basket idea. Yes shop your store for the supplies you need to do your project and when your done you can put back anything that is not needed ❤

Wow!! 😮 You ladies kicked that rooms butt!! 🎉

Hi Mira , New subscriber here. I am so proud of all you have accomplished. Just keep going. Someday share with us your completed pages or even your process when you scrapbook. I was introduced to the hobby after I lost my first baby and I a paperholic. I love pretty papers. So so proud of you. I am cheering you on!!!

Amazing Job well done Mira 👏

You are parting with so much. Amazing! 🎉. Remember to give yourself grace. Doing the process is what makes the long term changes. Be proud of your progress! But also let the container decide how much you can keep. Start with favourites, To paraphrase Dana K White, let the container, room , home be the guide to how much, and most important things in the container that is your home, is you and your cutie pie doggies, ❤

Be very proud of yourself. You are doing an awesome job. I get it. I have it and I keep getting it so you are one step ahead of me so keep on moving girl. Be proud of yourself. You’re getting it out.🌈🕊❤️💯🙏🏻

You sound so good and strong and happy today. Makes my heart happy.

Way to go!!😃😃😃

You and Bonnie are rock stars ⭐️ you are doing great!

Good job! I moved from a 3 bedroom apartment filled to the brim of craft stash. I donated nearly half and moved the rest into 2 storage units while living temporarily at my sister’s. 7 months ago I moved into a one bedroom apartment & had emptied it he storage units and it was floor to ceiling wall to wall of stuff. I was able to unpack & donate several car loads but I still have way too much. Currently going through another round of purging but coming up with less stuff to donate. I need to come to your realization that I can let go because it’s a hot mess! Giving myself some grace as I discovered late last year I was suffering minor heart attacks & had to have 2 stents put in and I had cataracts and recently had surgery to take care of them. I also have a senior dog who I’m trying to give his best life to. Hang in there and I’ll catch up to you soon!

You are such a beautiful soul!!!❤Thank you so much 💗

You are doing great, Mira! Sorting scrapbooking stuff is hard! You go girl!

Last round of decluttering craft stuff showed that I needed to be more ruthless, or I'll spend my free time ORGANIZING instead of CREATING. The container concept helps me.

I imagine inviting some friends over tea and crafting in this room and I Immediately wanna work on my crochet room

Wow, I knew you did a lot of work but the before and after blew me away completely.

When you hesitate because of the money that you spent on an item and you can't recoup, just think of the 'value' you'll get by selling or giving it away 😊

If you do a sale, you should put together a couple of your traveling kits. I bet people would buy that.

Call me crazy, but I could watch you do this all day😅

Mira, I am in the process of resetting my craft room. I have pieced it together with old shelving and stuff I found on market places. It doesn't work for me. My paper for projects frustrate me in horizontal bins. So I am getting new shelving to store it vertically. I find it funny that everything you indicate isn't your style is mine.lol. You have blessed me in so many ways. The tone of your voice is so soothing. Not judgemental. Just you. I can't wait to see you continue to grow in your happiness as you reclaim your home.

I like your phrase, “epic sorting.” I need to do that, too.

WOW! Amazing job!!!🎉

Wow 😲 I can't believe the difference! You have all put so much work into that room and it's looking fantastic.

I was going to make fairy houses. I had a ridiculous amount of supplies. Absolutely ridiculous. I donated them to a day care program for adults with intellectual disabilities. That really made me happy. I never felt the need to see what they created with the supplies.I must admit, when I saw some of your scrapbooking supplies, they made me want to create…

Well done!

What a great video, Baby! LOL Things are really moving along, despite Colt's curiosity. I love when you've speeded up the video and the dogs are shooting in and out of the scene. Mira you are an inspiration. Thanks for the long video - I would watch you for hours, if you posted hours-long videos. I'm retired and decluttered so living vicariously through your channel. Keep up the great work!

What an amazing transformation! It must feel so good to have some breathing room! It looks beautiful! ❤❤

I love that you share that you have those times you simply sit and think. I wish more people talked about it, I imagine it's a fairly normal part of epiphany-heavy days for most people.

Great job! I hope Bonnie can help you finish your bedroom too!

I'm really enjoying the organization videos. I used to be a big scrapbooker and in the thick of it I so enjoyed collecting scrapbook supplies but got overwhelmed quickly to the point where I made a rule for myself. I could only buy products for the page I was working on. Because there were so many cute or amazing products it was easy to get too much quick lol. If that makes sense. Right now I have a tiny crafting space that gets overwhelmed easily because the flow of the room does not work for what I do, which is everything lol. ADD Crafter over here. I'm excited to get in there and do a complete makeover in the month of May. Keep up the amazing work! And thanks for sharing your journey! Very inspiring.

Es ist so schön, deine Fröhlichkeit zu hören ❤

You are doing such an amazing job, Mira! I'm so proud of how far you've come in making decisions with decluttering. You have made such a huge difference in your home. ❤

Wow, nice job, ladies!
