Garage sale find

This is a drawer unit i got today. I decided to put it under my desk for all the stuff that sits under there anyways. It has all my small pads of paper that do not have a theme or match other stuff. It also has my CTMH stamps and large pkgs of clear stamps. I am very happy with it!!

My Stamp storage!!

This is the cabinets that i have had for months and months. They were bought of Craigslist and they were missing the bottoms. I have been waiting on dh to get wood and cut it. Since it was not happening, i went to Lowes and bought the wood and had them cut it!! I finally got it put together!! YEAH!! I did find out that this is the cheapest, junkiest wood you could find!! LOL!! BUT it is exactly what i was looking for. These are 2 cabinets on top of each other!! I need to reorganize again and then tag the outside of the drawers so i know where everything is!!

Organizing swap items...


Okay. Most of the items i get go into the boxes i posted before by theme. If there is no theme...I have a drawer in a file cabinet if they are by color!! See pics! If they are a kit that has no theme, there is a box for that and they are put in there in baggies.

I tend to not get rid of much that i get from swaps as my girls can use them if they are not my style.

I really need to do something with these! I keep forgetting they are here!! LOL!!

Fiber Organization

This is a bunch of little tubes that a friend gave me a long time ago. I have been putting my fibers in them little by little. The organizational challenges that i am doing with a couple groups made me finish them. My dd has been helping me. I put in a ton and then the rest of the yarn goes to my girls for knitting. I have way too much fibers!! LOL!!

Photo Organization

This is all my older photos in boxes in a little cabinet that i have my cricut on top of. It is close but out of sight.
These are the most recent photos i have printed to work on. They are in a photo box in little plastic sleeves. I bought 200 of these sleeves i think when i got them. I put the photos in with a little sticker on front with event, date and people. It is great to just grab a little sleeve and go with the LO's!!

Oraganization of embellishments

This is my basket of Challenge embellishments. They are things i really like, but have no theme!! Every once in a while, i will pull one out and start a LO with it! It is a great way to use these things up!
This is also embellishments that have no theme. I have a peg board so i can see them easily. I have rubons, alpha brads, alpha metal, flourishes, stickers and bling on here. Oh yea, also journal pages that are in little notebooks.
This is all my embellishments that have a theme. I have a box for each theme that i have stuff for. I still need to get a few more labels printed for these. I have found this system to work the best for me so far!! Great when i know the them of what i am doing, just grab a box and go!!

Tools Organization



These are how my main tools are set up on my desk. They are all within arms reach of where i sit. The top pic is an 8.5x11 drawer system that holds all my pens, markers, stickles and pearlex. The second is a letter holder that holds my adhesives, some paints and in the back, lace and ricrac that i have not found another place for yet! The last picture is my Pampered Chef caddy with my hand punches, my glue pens, my scissors and other items.

Paper organization...

These are my mat stacks and small pads of paper. This little bin sits under my table in arms reach.
This is my non-Bazzill cardstock that is 8.5x11 or smaller. It is in a drawer in my filing cabinet that is part of a desk behind my scrap area. These are set up by color.
This is my Bazzill that is any size and non-bazzill that is 12x12. This is a file box that i have sitting under the desk behind me. I am finding now that i moved it here, i am using it a lot more. I also too all the 8.5x5.5 Bazzill out of the packaging and am using it a ton more!! These are by color also.
This is my 12x12 pattern paper that is set up my theme. I have Christmas, Snow/winter, Girls, Boys, Halloween, Easter/spring, Summer, sports, school, girl scouts and such.
These hold my DCWV stacks that i have taken out of the stacks. 1 is Christmas, another is misc and the 3rd holds the little folders by manufacturer of things that do not have themes.
This is my favorite spot. These are my scraps. I have them by color in shoe box size storage containers!! It is great to have them like this. My kids even use these with ease. Anything, patterned or cardstock goes in these. If it is small enough to fit and is not specifically a smaller size such as 6x6 or 8x8, it goes in!!

Organization Challenge--AFTER, table

WOW, look how much table top i have to work on!! I can not believe it is done!! Now to keep it this way when i am done each time!!!

This is directly in front of me as i face the table. I now have my cuttlebug and a basket with the folders/dies behind it. It is just a tiny bit too tall to slide under the shelf. To the left of that are LO's in the works in a NICE pile and then my notebooks with sketches, challenges and such.

This is the spot where i had all the extra stuff sitting! Now i can actually use my Cricut!! I also moved it back on the table to have more space in front of it.

Organization Challenge --BEFORE

WOW, I did not realize just what a mess my desk was! I mean, i know there was a bit of stuff on it, but it was disorganized and really don't know if i could have found what was under it all!! Here are a few before pictures that i took last night...
This is an overview of my whole spot on my table.


This is my normal work space...not much left to actually work on.
This is a lot of extra stuff just sitting around on the desk...it needs to get put away!
This is the view of the floor...you can not actually get a chair under the table...need to find new homes for this!!

Okay, this is more under my table and to my right. You just can not really move around once you are in the chair!! More that needs to find a new home!
