My name is Heckbringer and... and I can't find my crafting tools.

Sorry... Just a sec... I thought this would be easier to talk about...

Okay.

I moved recently, and haven't had a chance to do any crafting since the move.

Two nights ago, I bought packs of the paper recommended by SunRaven01, including a pack each of matte and glossy, and when I got home I was all excited to buy a new set I've had my eye on and start making stuff.

But I can't find my crafting stuff! I have no idea what bag, box, or who-knows-what contains my knife, blades, ruler, glue, and cutting mat.

My friends are sympathetic. They try their best to understand.... But they don't actually get it.

I thought you folks might...

WELL

next time, label your boxes

That sucks
Hope it shows up soon!

It happened to me once, never again. Ever since, my hobby stuff does not get packed; it rides loose in its normal storage containers in the passenger seat of the car. Before it is moved, its new home has been decided. I haven't lost a thing since I started doing this!

Just purchase a new set of tools if possible. Whenever you find your old ones they'll be a backup ... good thing to have.

I know what it is like to be excited about starting a project and then find you can't find something you need. Goodness knows after moving a person needs to take a break and relax ... not encounter more frustration. You have my sympathy.

Open... everything... and... find... it.

I just moved too. There's still things that are missing - but to finish the journey, you must first start it!

I've been there. Of course in my case it's totally my fault. When I move every box is labeled either 'food,' 'books,' or 'misc.'

I just moved a few months ago. Paper terrain products and computer setup take priority. They are the last to "pack" and the first to be set back up. I say "pack" because things like The Maiden don't exactly fit into moving boxes very well...

Thanks for the sympathies, guys.

Yeah... Wish I'd handled the move better in this particular regard.

And I think it's a good call... If I can't find my stuff I'll upgrade instead of replacing exactly what I had.

I can somewhat relate.... We moved out of our town home and rented it. Put 90% of our stuff into a storage unit. Living at my in-laws right now... all of my crafting stuff is in the storage unit.

We do have the robo-cutter here but only used it for things like birthday party invitations and decorations. Wifey has used it more than me in the last 6 months!
