Whenever I file things, I forget where I put them, or what my thinking was at the time to determine which folder, or closet or drawer to file the item away in. So inevitably, when I file something, it is lost to me. When it comes to crafts, I have many piles of scraps laying around from various experiments. Most of the time, it looks like a big ole mess, but sometimes those piles can be a good thing! Take this week, for instance. I needed to make a card for an Artist friend of mine. She happens to be one of the women I look up to when it comes to Arts and Crafts, and so I always want her birthday card to be special. I started her card, and with little time, of course everything went wrong. The last straw was dumping my coffee on the project!<\/p>\n<p>So I turned to my stash. And with only a mild amount of digging, I found a foiled ATC that I had left over from a swap, and a card base that I had made during an encaustic session. They looked great together. The foiling on the ATC looked great against the waxy look of the encaustic background. Two minutes later I had a nice looking card. So filing is good for some folks, but me? I&#8217;ll stick with my pile system <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/easyscraps.com\/blog\/rsc\/smilies\/icon_wink.gif\" title=\"&amp;amp;#59;&amp;amp;#41;\" alt=\"&amp;amp;#59;&amp;amp;#41;\" class=\"middle\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"item_footer\">\n<p><small><a href=\"http:\/\/easyscraps.com\/blog\/blogu.php\/go-through-your-stash\"> <\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is no secret that I am a piler, not a filer.
