Organize your Crafty Self…..

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It’s a new year and I’m back.  Back in the saddle.  I took a couple of days off that lead to a couple of more days……..and so on and so on.  It was a great time spent relaxing, playing and thinking about getting organized.  Seems like the first of the year is a time that Blogs spring all their new changes on you.  The only change I’m going to make are my titles.  My blog titles will no longer be the person I’m  featuring.    I’m crazy like that.    

OK, back to getting organized.  Time to get our crafty supplies organized.  If you’re like me, they are all over, especially after the holidays. Ribbon everywhere, tag making spread out, stamps everywhere but their place……ugh…….I found the perfect blog to help us beat the creative clutter. 

CRAFTY STORAGE 

She brings you all kinds of storage ideas that she finds around the web.  She’s kind of like me…….doing the foot work for you, so you don’t have to.  She finds great ideas from other people, then brings them to you.  Love that!

I love to see the whole room.  I love this below.  So tidy.  Look at the ribbon storage on the top area of the peg board.  I like that.  I used to have mine on a dowel, and although it looks cool, it couldn’t be more annoying when a spool runs out and of course it’s in the middle….this would at least be quicker and easier to remove that middle spool.How about this beauty!  Do you think it stays this clean?  Nah…..I love these large storage tables in the middle of the room.This white bookshelf makes me drool.  I’d love a closer look.  I have been wanting to change my paper storage from my paper rack to all vertical storage like this below.  And that wall unit to the right.  Very cool.And you can never go wrong with labeled baskets.  Like below….I’m seeing a lot of these clipping systems around.  This looks like one of the best ideas since sliced bread.  Simply Renee has many options.  I think I’ll be spending a bit of time at their site too.I am SO doing this below.  Using CD cases to store my clear stamps. DUH!!!  I  have seen this before and keep forgetting. What I’d like to know from you all…..how are you storing your foam stamps?  I have them in IKEA boxes……you can see mine here.   I’d like to store them differently since those boxes are taking up too much real-estate . 

One gal decided to use DVD cases for her clear stamp storage.  Looks nice.She had this site that carried these cool boxes……this one is perfect for 12x12 storage….I gotta go back and see where it’s from.  I want these. 

Do you have any economical ways to store your craft supplies?  Do you have a really cool room I must see?  Bring it on……I’m ready!

Time to buy you what YOU wanted for Christmas and didn’t get.
