WOW....I have A LOT of stuff...


I am officially moving ALL of my stuff downstairs!  I started last night and am a little embarrassed at how much stuff I have accumulated, and never even opened!  DH was smirking as he helped me haul stuff downstairs!  Here is one of my problems...I have saved like every issue of any magazine I have ever bought that is related to scrapbooking or paper crafts.  Do I really need to save them?  I mean, my style has changed and so have trends, so will I ever look at a back issue of Paper Crafts magazine from 2006?  Probably not, but I hate to throw them away.  I am sure I will rearrange my space several times before I am happy.

Keep checking back in my FOR SALE section, cause I will be adding TONS of stuff over the next several weeks!  Stamps, paper, and stickers...wow...I have a lot of stickers and I NEVER use them.  So if you are a lover of stickers, I can hook you up! LOL!

So here are a few photos of what I have done so far.  I will probably rearrange and change it several more times.  This is only half of my stuff!  I decided to move what I use the most and like the most first.  Now I am going through what I haven't moved and deciding what to do with it...big sigh...I am such a hoarder!  LOL!


If anyone has any good organization suggestions for me, please let me know!  It is so hard to organize paper, embellies and what nots because there is soooooo much!  I would love to hear you organizing ideas and thoughts! :)

Your space is looking good. Isn't it amazing how much you hang on to? I moved 2 years ago and couldn't believe what all I had. My oldest DD is moving back home and I'm giving up my stamping room upstairs and taking over my DH office. It's a lot smaller, but I know I will be able to squeeze everything in. LOL

Patter Cross has awesome organizational tips on her Triple the Scraps blog. You have a nice space and lighting for crafting. I have an upstairs bedroom now that the kids are all out of the house. I love my space! I can disappear for hours! :)

look great. you'll love having more room to spread out. I'm like you since we moved I had 3 copier paper boxes filled with old scrapping magazines I couldn't part with - I do look at some of them when I get in a slump but I should weed thru them.
