Dad came this weekend to help us unpack, hang art, and get moved back into our home. For those who have missed the ordeal, about six weeks ago a pipe split overnight in the room adjoining our home and flooded our first floor (aka my studio, living room & kitchen). After floor replacement, dry wall repair, painting and cabinet repair, we finally got our stuff returned from storage.
Unfortunately, this was what I found when I opened each box. Rather than leaving my supplies in their organized storage containers, the movers dumped everything out (seriously who dumps a storage container of ribbon ... paper flowers ... you name it) ... what a mess it will be to try to restore my studio.
It will be like starting from scratch to reorganize my stuff ... and probably be a little while until I am making cards again ... yep, my well-organized stamps and die cuts are now all dumped together randomly in boxes (and of course I have few pictures of how I had it organized, so it's like a game of Tetris to figure out where it all fits).
Thankfully Dad helped me keep my cool and move forward with tackling what we could ... like putting my cardstock back in the racks (which thankfully I had packed-up myself).
And hanging art ... this wall behind one of my studio tables is filled with art from friends and makes me happy.
Dad and I also took some time out to enjoy a little Vivian's Soul Food ... I do love fried chicken (and that cabbage had a fabulous spicy kick).
More organizing to come ...
yikes!! who packs like that?? so sad you have to organize all over but, you might find some fun items you forgot about?? ;)

I'm sorry you're saddled with such a mess -- following the initial plumbing mess! After many household moves, I have learned that too many movers need instruction (a lot of it, and on every detail) and supervision (aka hovering). I hope you share your photos with the moving company.
