Getting Organized

Hey y'all!
I don't know about you, but I am a huge hoarder when it comes to my craft supplies. I thik this is partly because I don't have a good sense of organization in my scrap space & it's hard for me to remember what I have in my stash.
Last week when we were in Florida for Spring Break, helping my husband clear out his mother's condo, I had an epiphany. I don't want to hold onto things that I don't need/use. When we got home last Sunday, after some rest, I began the task of organizing & purging my space. I started there because I thought that would be the easiest place to begin. My hopes are that I can get through the entire house & rid our lives of what we don't need! I really want to simplify.
Here are some photos of some of the organization taking place in my small scrap space in our basement:   
This is the closet in the room that doubles as storage for my scrap supplies & the kids toys/art supplies.
I bought some bins at Michael's to keep all of my paper scraps. They are sorted by size.
This fabulous armoire was given to me by my sister and I LOVE it!!!
I have used some glass vases to keep washi tape & my beloved rumple ribbons in. Ty made me the spice rack that houses some of my mists.
This shows some of the storage pieces I have on my desk for easy access to small supplies.
This basket sits on the corner of my desk & I keep all of my current favorite papers & embellishments in it. See, I am the type of person if I don't see it, I won't use it. So this has worked for me!
There you have a few photos of my organization in progress. If you have any questions, leave a comment & I'll gladly answer them!
I haven't scrapped in 2 weeks & am desperately in need of a fix!! Maybe tomorrow.....

Also, don't forget about my giveaway! You can read about it here.

  7. storage ideas and clear bins are best when you want to see what you have. I really like to hang my stuff so I can see it because IF don't see it I wont use, lol
