Organize your Stuff week#2

Week#2~Brainstorming. TwoPeas Thread
I think I need to arrange my room by stations.
*wall of stash~paper,scraps,embellishments,diecuts,pictures,albums,& mini album stuff
*workspace~most used tools,adhesives,nice rolling chair,& good sized work surface
*stamping~stamps,inks,embossing stuff,& work surface
*messy stuff~paints,mists,glitter,stickles,& work surface
*die-cutting~surface for machines,storage for dies,cartridges &embossing folders
*crochet~yarn storage,tool storage,& comfy chair

I'd also like my stuff to be more hidden & my furniture to be more cohesive & pretty.

Organize Your Stuff week#1







What works well~
*Alphas by letter in 2 tackle boxes.

*Chipboard by type in baggies in drawer. I don't have much so this is good.

*Embellishments by color in individual tackle boxes.

*Cards to sell or give away by type. Envelopes & card blanks behind them. Might move basket to a shelf so I can use the flat surface for stamping.

*Cards for personal use by month & type.

*Flowers by color.

*Stamps unmounted in cd cases. Sorted bytheme.(flowers,alphas,christmas,etc...) I would like to create an index someday.

*Paper by color or collection.


What works ok~

*Projects in progress & kits.

Organize your Stuff Challenge







I've been scrapbooking for 9 years & in this craftroom for 4 years & it has gotten out of hand. So I'm doing Wookiemouse's Organize your Stuff Challenge. Over on Twopeas Crisann is hosting a 5th round and there is a thread for each weeks challenge. So you can chat & share ideas. I'm really excited to do this. Here's a look at my messy room.






And the overspill into the guestroom.
