I have a craft corner in my living room, a shelf in my dad’s office/son’s work out room, and a couple shelves in the spare bedroom. After watching several videos on how to organize your craft stuff, I realized I needed to rethink how I was storing my paper crafting stuff.

I mean, I am the queen of buying bins and storing stuff in them, then using my Tetris skills and putting everything away.

And that is the problem. I was putting it away and by the time I found the paper, ephemera and dies/stamps, i was done crafting for the day.

When I returned to the project, the cats had decided to participate and, well, I think their motives are suspicious.

So I’ve started reorganizing based on two simple principles—one I am a visual person and need to see what i have and I am storing kits together and paper, stamps/dies and ephemera in one pouch.

I am hopeful that this approach will take some of the frustration out of crafting and miminize the feline helping.

of course, it looks a mess now:

But soon, it will be great and then we begin the experiment.

If you’re a crafter, let me know how you organize your items.

Until next time, stay healthy and warm.
