Being organized feels wonderful. Why oh why do I let things get into such a state of disorganization?!!
I'm still chipping away at my creative area - and what a difference I am making! I used to organize my scrapbook papers by manufacturer but it has been years now since Amy has closed her scrapbook store and I am no longer 'current' with the latest and greatest. So, I decided to organize my papers by color.
I used a beer box, cut off the top flaps, covered it with white kraft paper, and then put my colors into file folders. That way I can pull out a color file to look through the papers.
It slides nicely under my art table, next to my 'goody' drawers. My favorite goody drawer is the middle one....
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Glitter and sequins and flocking and beads and colored wire and stickles and all kinds of fun things. It's so pretty and colorful in there! I used packaging from Oil of Olay facial scrubs as my little bins in the drawer. They were such a great size (and they do have lids) that I wanted to find some use for them. (I tend to save 'neat' containers.)
So that has been my organization project today and last night. Organization = goooooood. :-)
Awesome! As I've been sewing the past week or so I've been feeling that I should organize my fabric by color. It would probably make it so much easier to find what I am looking for. But the thought of attempting to do that is VERY frightening!

It's funny.....looking at your paper.....I have alot of the SAME ones...we must have shopped at the same place..LOL
thats a good idea for your PP....I think I might have to do that for my ODD BALL papers...I do have them sorted by stripes...dots....flowers, ect....having things in order makes crafting a bit more fun...

Man those little bins from Oil of Olay fit *perfectly* in there. It's like they were made for that larger bin. I do love being organized; it's such a great feeling once it's done. Also love your scrap paper rainbow. One day I want to do that with my clothes in my closet.
One day...
