My Scrap Room

I have been working on organizing my scrap room forever now. I have this huge room with wall to wall storage with room for friends. Unfortunately, it is also the "catch all" room. All my stuff was spread out all over because my room is so large. Now, you would think having a big room for all your scrapbook, stamping, and card making supplies would be great. Well it is but since everything is so spread out it made it hard to keep clean and to use efficiently. I finally decided to shrink my space and bring it all in closer to me. I used my shelves and desk to separate the back of the room from my area to make a "storage space". So now, when things get dumped into my room, they have a special out of the way place.

Now that I have that figured out- I am attempting to organize the best way for my use. Since the only friend that really comes over is Lori-shrinking the room size still leaves space for a friend or two. I will be scrapping most of the time by my self so I am trying to tailor the room to fit me.

I went to Ikea and bought a bunch of their storage boxes for magazines and such. One of my biggest issues was my scraps. I used the storage boxes for them and I think it is going to work well. My next issue to tackle is the paper and cardstock storage.

I have a hanging file system and those fancy cubes for paper. I am not sure what is going to work best though. With all the paper I have collected, my hanging system has become to small. With the cubes, I'm not sure if I like having to pull out the whole stack of paper to find what I need. I think it will take some getting used too.

Here are some pictures of the room and my scrap storage. I am free this Sunday if anyone wants to volunteer to come over and help me get organized. LOL.
