I need accountability!!

Humm, I've been trying to get my Scraproom/Office organized for a few weeks. I am making headway, but not done yet. I guess if I stopped buying stuff I'd be closer to having this room together. I have found a few things that worked well for me. For my stickers I took 3 ring note books filled them with three different kinds of plastic sheet protectors. I used the full sheets, 4x6 picture protectors and the baseball card protectors. With the full sheet protectors I used card stock paper to keep it from being so flimsy. I marked each of the 3 ring note books with a theme, ex: Birthday, Baby, Wedding ect. I then sorted out the stickers and put them in their own book. For die cuts I used photo albums, but I'll be changing those over to the 3 ring notebooks. I'll do the die cuts the same way as I did the stickers and give them each their own theme. I use the plastic boxes with the dividers for my buttons and other things about that size. I picked up some pill boxes at the dollar store. They are weekly pill boxes and they have 4 sections per day, giving me a total of 28 little compartments for my tiny stuff. I put stuff like rhinestones, Jolee's little flowers, tiny charms ect. in these boxes. I have to go get some more, these really worked great. I got them at Dollar tree, in the medicine section. I use one of those plastic organizers that has little draws for nuts & screws. At least that's what my husband had in it (He doesn't even know it's gone). I have seen them in the tool section at Home Depot. I keep my scrapbooking tools in a small plastic tool box and my adhesives in another tool box. I keep my paper in the accordion style boxes. I also have a 9 draw dresser that I have other stuff in like lace, fibers, ribbon ect. I'm not sure what to do with this stuff and it sure doesn't stay organized in those draws. If anyone has any other ideas I'd sure love to hear them.

I am will bug ya...no problem. : )

I am in also. I have been trying to clean up since we got back from the honeymoon in May. I made bunches of leadway since then ... I can actually walk in the room but still have a long way to go.

--Tammy > Nope, not with my spending. ;-)

naya naya!! I got mine all done again last night!!

I sorted all my paper, relabeled the slots in my cabinet and put the best of hat I COLLECT in some new plastic storage boxes with lids.

Now I jst haveto get motivated to put some pictures in something, lets see which of the four albums should I do, or shall I start a new one? humm, my RCS meets book I need to get all my "RCS Family" pix i, oh heck, I will sort out something else.

Last week I did all my fibers fter making my own winding sticks.

Geesh ya'll talk about men being procrastinators - GET TO IT LADIES!!!

Good one Dave! Your comment actually made me laugh out loud in my hotel room. For those of you who have to travel, Google isn't THAT bad!

I had to do a major cleaning before Dave, Jacqui, Kenda and Deb came over to the "Scraproom". That is one of the good things about having people over, it always makes me clean things up.

Well time for a nap, I spent 5 hours walking around San Antonio this morning and early afternoon! Tomorrow, Jacqui is taking me to see the "other" Missions and I'm changing hotels as the Drury where I am staying was completely booked when I decided to stay on an extra night. If you ever come to San Antonio, do consider staying here! IT is absolutely beautiful, well place, quieter than many of the other hotels as it has nice think walls and they have a free buffet (scambled eggs, french toast, bagels, waffles etc plus 60 minutes free long distance every night. It's a great place to stay and is right on the Riverwalk.

OOOOOoooooooooooo I love the riverwalk... I wanted to go in one of the boats but when i was there there wasn't enuf time. We went to Seaworld there(my second time) and it rained and most of the people went home. THe lines for rides were shorter and we got on faster. Loved it

While you're there you should check out a restaurant called Mi Tierra-- wonderful Mexican food (at least several years ago it was! :-) and while we were eating some singers came over to our table and serenaded us in Spanish while a man played the guitar--lovely. :-)

I have no choice but to keep mine organized, as it shares the master bedroom and home office. We wouldn't be able to move if I left any part disorganized. I need to motivate to work on pages though.

I really need to reorganize my scrap/craft area too.! I need a better light! and as my collection of Sizzix dies grows because I am addicted to Ebay..LOL... I need to find an way to organize it all and be functional. My area is in a corner of my bedroom. OH COOL!!!....I just got my new Cropper Hopper vertical paper storage delivered by UPS like 5 minutes ago! I will have to join you all in getting busy here!!! Good luck Carolyn, and anyone else who is reorganizing. Linda C Illinois

:-ppppppppppppppppp ;-)

I just started collecting 'fibers' though I have 2 large storage containers of rolled up yarn gathered over the years--how did you make the winding sticks?

Obviously since you have so much free time on your hands now ;-) you can jump in your car and head south and come clean up *my* mess too, hm?
