| Ok, so I have to store all of my scrapbooking supplies on a budget...so, for a simple way for me to store some of my little odds and ends and pictures that I am going to use soon. I use the plastic bags that my baby's onesies and pajamas come in and hang them from a wire rack I have. They have snaps so they are easy to close and are within arms reach. I love keeping my rub-ons in these because they aren't being pushed or rubbed by anything else. I feel like I'm helping the enviroment also because I am not throwing these plastic things away. |

| Ribbon Storage I used an old shelve that I had that my father had made me, only it didn't have a bottom shelve so my husband was going to cut the sides that that it was flat on the bottom but I didn't let him. I bought a cafe' curtain rod and used it to hold my ribbons.  I also have a jewlery box that my mother bought for me at a tag sale for a dollar and I turned it into a sewing box.

| Hi! I am addicted to stamping, and have TONS of wood-mounted, clear, and cling stamps! To keep track of what I have, I keep a 3-ring binder with page-protectors as my own "personal catalog!" When I get a new stamp set, I determine what catagory I'd put it in, then stamp all the images on plain copy paper and place the new images in the next available space in my binder for that category. All categories are organized alphabetically, so it's easy to locate what I need for a particular project. I also note the name of the stamp set, how many stamps are in the set, and the brand. I also then keep an Excel file with this same information and keep a list sorted by company then name of the set (to keep track when I'm ordering, so I don't duplicate), as well as a list sorted by category. I keep copies of these updated lists in the binder for easy reference. When I start a project, I simply browse my own "personal catalog" to find the stamp image that will work the best and locate it in my cabinet, which has all the stamps/sets arranged by category also! :-) Sometimes it's just fun to look through it to remind myself of all the great stamps I have at my disposal! ;-) --Sharon, Suburban Chicago, IL |

Hi. I found these great storage units at Michaels. I used my 50% off coupons (wait until they come out) so they were fairly inexpensive. What a difference they make in my craft room! I can now display (some) of my stamps, my embellishments, my ribbon, etc. And, the good part is that it's all of of my work area! I've also purchased the paper sorters (with 50% coupons) from JoAnns to hold my paper. I LOVE IT! I can reach anything at anytime.   |

I would love to know what you store in all your cabinets & drawers and what sizes they are, I would love to copy alot of your ideas if you don't mind. Also where do you store all your photos? I am looking to slowly redo my scrapbook room making it more organized & user friendly. I would love to learn how you did yours. Thanks so much for any help you could give me.

I live in an apartment and space can be limited. I bought an inexpensive 7-drawer plastic unit on wheels for storage (Office Depot) and I use a card table to scrap on. When I'm done I simply fold the table up and roll the drawers into an available corner. Keeps everything nice and neat and easy to move when necessary.

Have you thought about purchasing a CROP wheeled bag? I have one and I absolutely love it when I need to organize my things for an "Away" scrap night. It holds paper, stamps, scissors, pencils, ink pads. Almost everything you need! I like the ideas of the baskets also. You could also invest in one of those cubbies that they sell at Target or Walmart. They have 6 openings and you can add the baskets for only $5.99 each. I have one and I keep all of my computer paper, picture paper, adhesives, camera stuff and misc in them. They are great storage options for small spaces. I also have my printer sitting on top of it so it doubles the use of it! I'll enclose a picture so that you know what I'm taling about. Hope this helps! Oh yes, as far as a table goes, my grandkids just pull out the TV trays and use those!

I recommend looking at some Longaberger Baskets! I'm a consultant and LOVE using them for storing & transporting LOTS of stuff! The nice thing about them is they're VERY sturdy & durable (lasting generations!) and come in lots of shapes & sizes. If you get ones with lids, they can stack into your small attic space, but still look very attractive! Many have handles that make your transporting simple! :-) GOOD LUCK!
if you'd like to look, you can see them at www.longaberger.com/sharonblackwell

I love the units from Michaels and Joannes. I've never seen those at my Joannes & I don't have a Michaels nearby me. I do however have a Hobby Lobby, I just bet they have shelves similiar to that. Michelle, I'm with you on recycling storage containers. 90% of my containers r recycled. I even found a wire rack with 4 slim wire bins and 2 larger plastic bins/ drawers out for the trash. (I do not consider myself a 'dumpster diver') I couldn't help but check it out and the only thing really wrong was a little rust spots on the corners. These go for big money here!
