It's Not Hoarding, If It Is Organized!

Well, it's pretty darn close to HOARDING!!  I am finally, getting around to unpacking my scrapbooking room.  This last year has been a challenge, but it looks like the ground water is under control and no longer seeping into my basement.  My scrapbooking room has been packed away for a couple of years, and now I am trying to organize my stuff.  Below are the "before" pictures and hopefully, by the end of the month the "after" pictures will be posted.   I am waiting on cabinets to be installed but, my dad told me that it will be this winter before he can get time to get them made.  I can hardly wait!

Please post your favorite scrapbooking organizing tip for a chance to win a $25.00 gift certificate to use in the new 2012 Fall and Winter CTMH Idea Book.   You can also win by signing up to follow my blog. 

My Cricut and Big Shot Table. 

I had most of this stuff in a big dresser, but my daughter claimed it when she got her first apartment.  The problem with using a dresser as storage it is hard to see what you have and don't have and you end up with several packs of the same color of paper.   

Back in the far corner, is my craft area.  This was my mom's old sewing table that I converted  into my personal craft space. 
After spending hours and 100's of zip ties later. I finally got a paper storage area. I did discover that I have a LOT of paper, and that I need to sell some of it.  This is just the cardstock, I still have to go through all of the printed paper.  Again, this is what happens when your scrapbooking room is packed away and you end up with several paper packs of Sweet Leaf, Chocolate, Sunflower and etc...

I am hoping to have a scrapbooking yard sale later this month... I will fill you in on the details, later this month.
