how to organize

Nural...look here for many great ideas.

I have my full loft converted into a scraproom so I have lots of space but I am sure that you will find a scheme that fits your space at the above link. HTH

Take care, Marilyn

I started out with a folding table, a small chest-of-drawers that wasn't needed elsewhere in the house (drawers are a GREAT way to hold your tools) and a baker's rack full of plastic shoeboxes...

Thanks for sharing that link, Marilyn. I've bookmarked it for future reference.

Drawers are a great way to organize without taking up a lot of space. Especially if you can find the plastic see-through drawers, then you'll be able to see what you have. If you're looking for ways to go vertical, I would go with shelves, of course. Then you could use photo boxes, plastic containers, etc to organize your scrapbooking stuff in. I hope that helps!

I started with and it is the base of my operation, a old computer desk with the hutch part on top. It works GREAT!! and to boot they are cheap compared to most other cabinets, desks and lockers.

Check out my pix and crafts!

Thanks everyone for the ideas,

I guess I'll go with lots of shelves and a large desk! we already need a wall full of shelves for the books we own and well, I'll get see through drawers that can fit into the shelves maybe (we'll get it done in a carpenter - is that the right occupation :)) I'll let you know about the progress :))

Hi everyone!!! I began to redesign the room yesterday!!! Well, only got a desk for the time being!! We went to IKEA and ? got myself a large corner desk that has places to hang magazines and stuff! there are no cupboards or drawers but that'll keep me busy for some time! We managed to put together half of it and we'll do the rest tonight and then I'll hopefully put up pics of the new scrappin' area :))

Nural

this is my new scrapping area :))

Nice desk!

Your desk is really nice. Lots of scrap space. I just wish I could find my desk! Sandy

Love your desk :o) It will make you so much more productive if you can organise your stash around you. TFS

Marilyn

Thanks Marilyn and Sandy :) Well last night I only gathered my paper in a wheeled tray beneath the table and up my photos around it... Oh and I organized all my books and magazines on the racks as well :) hopefully this will really make me do more scrapping :) now I'm planning to get some pencil cases and stuff cos I buy tones of colored pencils and never use them, if I see them in the open, I may get inspration :))

I bought one of those three drawer plastic storage things from Wal-Mart. It will hold 8.5x11 paper in each drawer. I have it sitting on the back corner of my work table. One drawer is for adhesives, the next for the CM cutting system pieces, and the third for the misc tools I use all the time (hole punch, sanding block, wire cutter, ruler, clips, eraser, scissors, etc.). Then I have a regular school pencil box for my markers and pens, and a pencil holder for all of my colored pencils. This works great for me.

That is a great desk!! Love it, love it! Have fun creating on it

What a great desk! I see the pics already layed out, just waiting for you to play. :-) Enjoy your new area!

Thanks everyone :))

I have tones of pics layed out on the desk but haven't began any scrapping yet!! I'm going right home from work today and hopefully I'll get some LOs done tonight...
