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.

    I'm not sure what my favorite organization tip is. I like to have everything be in sight or easy access, but my scrapbook room is not as organized as I want it to be. Maybe someday. Right now one of the things that I did is buy those little crates that you told me about that the CTMH stamps fit in perfectly! also, I have some nails on the wall that I have stamp packets hanging from. Makes it easier to see them and remember what I have, than in a drawer.

    organization is tough!!! I think the biggest thing for me to stay organized is to get in the habit of putting everything away when you are done using it. That way when you go in there the next time doing something different, you start with a clean space.

    I am anxious to see your after pictures! I recently went to TOWN with my label maker and organized my paper into an accordion-like organizer. I even sorted and labeled my scraps!
