Organization

Craft Critique has Organization Carnival so I thought I post some pictures of my craft space to show how I keep some of my stuff...

This is my SU! paper rack. I have them separated by the color families. The RRs are in the file holder. I use the paper in the original plastic bag, but when it gets worn out, I put the paper in plastic page protectors, the ones that you can put in binders. 

I put the scrap paper in those white baskets. So whenever I need a small piece, I just pull the basket out.

The red metal tin holds scrap ribbons.

I keep my miscellaneous rubber stamps in those plastic drawers on the Left side, along with the embossing powders in the top drawer. I got these at Sam's Club and they came with 2 different size drawers. I just switched them around, have the small ones together. I pretty much know what I have in each drawer, that's why I don't have any labels on the drawers. I keep them by theme. Like the bottom one has Christmas stamps...

The one on the Right has all my misc. ribbon. Try to keep them by colors. I have my SU! ribbons somewhere else...

I have these in a cabinet with doors, but because I use something out of these every day, I almost never close the doors. I do try to close them when we go away... Plus the nice thing that I can wheel them out of the cabinet if necessary. I do have 7-8 more of these in another cabinet, and under my tables... Does that tell you something? I have way too much stuff, and I keep buying more...I need help!!!

Some of my brads and buttons. I have more still in the original package, waiting to be sorted. The brad holder originally had eye-lets, but I tend to use brads more often so I switched them around.

The button holder came from Target from the $1 bin. I just picked it up thinking that I could use it for something, and decided to put small buttons in it. My Stampin' Mist is sitting in the hole in the middle. :o)
