How to create more attic storage space: Heap of Change Challenge
Howdie folks.
Songbird here with my first project of 2015. I created more storage space in the landing on my attic. Couldn’t be more timely…. Couldn’t be more welcome……
After the Christmas frenzy and the aftermath in my craft room that resulted in no floor space, no table space, stuff everywhere and no where to put anything I knew something had to be done.
Enter my Canadian friend Donna.
She was dealing with some after-Christmas chaos of her own, aptly named ” heaps of shame” and challenged herself and us to start the new year fresh, organized and with heaps of change.

Today I am here to make good on a promise I made you. Remember back in January, when I was filled with good intentions and showed you the extra storage space I created for my attic craft room? Right.
