We were asked to share our creative space this week and to show any organizational tips we have. Well, my creative space is my dining room. I have a combination dining room/living room off of the kitchen. We really don't use either room for what it was intended. I have my living room pretty much set up as an office with my desk, my computer and book shelf with printer. Now, I do use my dining room from time to time - for special occasions or when I have people over for dinner - which is seldom.
So here is what my dining room table looks like most of the time. 
I use a lot of Longaberger baskets for organization. I have all my Cuttle Bug embossing folders and Nesties stored upright in a basket. Notice the 2 labels on my CB? I never can remember which plate goes where so I labeled a cheat sheet right on the top - one for embossing, one for cutting.
This is where most of my stuff is stored. I have Cropper Hoppers for my paper storage. Another basket for my stamp storage and I found a $1 storage bin at Target (in the floor) to store more stamps in - I moved all my holiday stamps there - Christmas, Easter, Halloween.
A close up of my stamp storage basket.
My secret place for storing items is on the chairs. I pile them full of stuff and slide them up under the dining room table, clean off the top of the table, sometimes throw on a table cloth and the dining room looks almost normal =) Unless someone wants to actually SIT at the table!
Thanks for looking!

I love that you showed how your craft table usually looks! We can all relate. I think labelling your cuttlebug is a great idea (I did that too! We must have the same memory issues! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your crafty space with us at H2H!
Looking at your pictures i can't help notice that card with the 30.... looks great
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your space with us at H2H this week, Jeanie! I need to use your label idea on my own Cuttlebug - great idea :o)
ReplyDeletewhat great ideas to use the baskets! Thank you for letting us peek in your craft room! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat tips! Thanks for sharing them with us. I had to laugh at the first picture of your table, because that's what my dining room table looks like a majority of the time. LOL! Thanks again for sharing with us at H2H this week! *Ü*
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us at H2H!!! I think is hilarious about people not being able to sit on the chairs because of your stash on them.
Too funny about your chairs! I do the same thing. I love that you label the Cuttlebug. I have such a hard time remembering.
