Whether that be a garage for the mechanically inclined, sports equipment for the athletes or a craft room for the creative - this stuff seems to accumulate and take over.
I recently re-froofed up one of those kind of unattractive (in my opinion) plastic drawer units in my craft room and reorganized some of my papercraft goodies in it.
It took me 2 sheets of patterned paper, a heavy duty hole punch, 2 circle punchs, some ribbon, black and white cardstock, my computer and about an hour.
First I dumped everything in the middle of the room (because that's how I roll - one our mottos is 'ya gotta make a mess to clean it up' - which is probably not entirely true, but to me there is something very satisfying with watching a pile of stuff get purged and reorganized.)
I had figured out the categories a few years ago and they still were relevant for what I am using it for, printed them out and made the tags.
Then everything went into it's respective drawers and the purged contents were passed along to friends and the kids.
Then I adhered the paper on, punched the holes and tied on the tags.
It's still not the most beautiful of piece of furniture, but it's cuter and it's organized!

Hmmm, dumping stuff on the floor! So if my organizational challenge is the stuff on my desk should I dump everything onto the floor as my starting point?
hahahah... save that moment for when you're in a really bad mood and enjoy the drama of it all!
If I dumped it all on the floor it would stay there for...well a long time!
Looks very spiffy though :)
looks great! I will have to do that... no to find some paper hmmmm
and I couldn't go without saying, Cheryl's "drawers" look even fancier in RL.... whacka whacka
