Be honest — where would you even begin?


Hey Reader,

Can I ask you something honest?

Have you ever told yourself "I really need to get my craft supplies organized" — and then… not done it?

Not because you didn't want to. Not because you don't care. But because every time you thought about actually starting, it just felt… overwhelming?

Like, where do you even begin?

Do you organize by brand? By theme? By product type? Do you photograph everything first or enter as you go? What categories do you even need? And what about all those supplies that cross over into five different themes — where do those go?

I've heard from so many crafters in our community who are excited about the idea of having a searchable, organized digital inventory of everything they own… but they get stuck before they ever get started because they don't have a plan going in.

And here's the thing — that's not a motivation problem. That's a preparation problem.

When you sit down to build a craft supply database without knowing your categories, your detail level, or how you're going to handle photos and data entry, it feels like staring at a blank canvas with no idea where to put the first brushstroke. Most people either get overwhelmed and stop — or build something that doesn't quite fit the way they actually think and create.

That's why I created the Craft Inventory Planning Workshop — a live 60-minute class designed to do one thing: get you ready.

Here's what we'll work through together:

🗂 What's actually worth tracking — and what to skip for now. We'll sort through non-consumables (stamps, dies, stencils, embossing folders) versus consumables (inks, markers, reinkers) and figure out the smartest starting point for your specific stash.

🏷 Your categories — built for YOUR brain. Do you shop and reach for supplies by brand? By occasion or theme? There's no wrong answer — and your answer shapes everything about how your system gets built.

📸 A simple, repeatable photo plan. Even an imperfect photo beats no photo every single time. We'll build an approach that actually works for your life.

✅ A data entry game plan you'll actually stick to. A real, sustainable strategy — not "figure it out as you go."

You'll walk away from this workshop with a clear, personalized plan — and the confidence to actually follow through on it.

Our live class is happening on April 22nd at 7:00pm EDT.

Right now, you can grab your spot for just $27 — that's our early bird rate, and it won't be around for long. After the early bird window closes, the price goes up to $39.

I can't wait to see you there.

Your Crafty BFF, Brandi

P.S. — This workshop is the first step in a bigger journey. Once your plan is in place, building your actual digital craft supply inventory becomes so much easier. But this hour? It's where everything starts.
