My Craft Room

When it comes down to being able to create, it is imperative to be able to find everything you need.  My room is constantly a work in progress.  Every few months, I will reorganize and find better ways of storing my papers and supplies.  I think that I have a good knack for organization.  There is little in my house or craft room for that matter, that I cannot find.

My most recent craft storage is the The Workbox 2.0 from The Original ScrapBox.  This unit not only looks great, but it holds so much stuff.  It folds in and closes up, in the event you keep it in a room that is multipurpose.  I mostly leave mine open, with the exception of the outer doors.

As you can see, everything is nicely displayed and organized.  This unit holds all my stickles, design cutting scissors, punches, paper, Cricut and supplies, ribbons, embellishments, and more.  I still have room to put more things in it.  It is well worth the price, especially if you have a lot of craft items.  The fold out table is great, but I only use that when I am cutting with the Cricut.

My Ikea drawers and desk top is my work station.  This is where I spend the majority of my time crafting.  Since I mostly make cards, I have three different boxes that sit on this desk so I can easily put away what I have created.  Of course, these are organized by the type of card it is.  I also have my Big Shot and Making Memories Slice Machine on this table.  The desk drawers on the left side hold my office supplies, such as post-its, stapler, paper pads, etc, and the desk drawers on the right hold my sewing and cross-stitch items.  The task lighting is a necessity to ensure I have the right amount of light, no matter what time I find myself crafting.

My Ikea Expedit 4x4 unit holds magazines and idea books, as well as my card and envelopes, clear stamps, die cuts, chalk, glitter, and embossing powder, ink pads, templates, and other general cardmaking specific supplies.

Lastly is my Scrap'N'Cube.  This is another sturdy piece of furniture, that I have turned into my computer desk.  It houses my scrapbooks that are in progress, 8.5" x 11" paper, punches, adhesives, markers, and all other additional tools that aren't elsewhere.  You can see my tool turn-about, which was purchased from Michaels.  This holds my frequently used tools and adhesives, so they are always at hand.

I hope that you enjoyed the quick tour of my room.  In the future, I will go more in-depth with some of my storage and organization techniques in my room.
