An inside look....

I was looking at my scrap space today and thinking that it needs a new makeover. I got cool storage stuff from the mall garbage and I'm itching to add them into my space. Yes there are actually good stuff there if you're lucky!

But before I do that I wanna look back at this page (which btw can be seen in the Memory Makers special issue on Organization) and talk a little about how I store my crap.... I mean my stuff!!! LOL





Here's what the journaling says......

The biggest hurdle for me while creating a space that I can be inspired in is organizing everything. Two biggest concerns was (1) the cost of organizational supplies/containers if bought and (2) my need to have everything be visible. After months of collecting things to be recycled and much thought of how I create, the mission that I thought was impossible is finally done. Woohoo!!!

Mission #1- Display recently finished projects

Made an easy and quick line with ribbon and clothesline pins.

Mission #2- Displaying my Creative vision

Framed my mantra and proudly displaying it on my shelf.

Mission #3- Keep all “go-to” items in one place

Used a buffet utensil container to house most frequently used adhesives, pens and small tools.

Mission #4- Ribbons in spools

Grabbed an old tortilla warmer to house big and bulky ribbon spools.

Mission #5- Embellishment storage

Recycled food glass jars. I altered and labeled them, now everything is in plain sight.

Mission #6- Vertical storage for papers

Recycled USPS Priority boxes to house my 12x12 papers. Going vertical takes up less space.

Mission #7- Need enough room to work

Claimed a small dining table that we’re not using as my work space.

Mission #8- Tunes to inspire

Placed a boombox on my smaller table so I can play my favorite tunes while creating.

Mission #9- Staying on top of things

Made a calendar to jot down all the important dates I don’t want to forget.

Now I have a space that will inspire my creative pursuits. June 2008

I wanted to share this cause maybe there's something here that'll inspire you. My big organizational vision is to reuse and recycle. Although it doesn't look pretty, I like the hodge podge of all sorts of glasses/jars and containers to use in storing my scrapbook stuff. I like that it's free and that I'm actually helping in keeping my world green. *smile*

Oh and I have an old post about my space too. Check it out here.

Till next time,
