Diana: I suggest keeping things in the basement for storage and bringing up stuff to work on. That is kind of what I do with my crafts supplies - keep them in the 3rd room closet for storage, then, work on them in the family room (in order to be with DD, plus TV is in the family room).

Well, I am going to carry over the shed and garage into August.

Thanks Bless, I missed that! That is what I am thinking too.
The card items took me over a week to take down, and honestly there isn't enough room upstairs for it all! LOL They might be having a "garage sale" at one of the stores I go to in the fall, might be able to get rid of things I don't use or want anymore, and get a store credit, but that means I would be purchasing more things!?

It makes sense to keep most of it downstairs, and just work in the craft room. I too like working in the family room or breakfast room (better light) so that is my dilema! Thinking.......
