I think I spend more time organizing

than I do creating, but I think I'm finally getting to the point where it really works for me. I've been watching the sales at Michaels and when the 12 x 12 Iris scrapbook cases go on sale for $3.00, I pick up a few (or a lot). I've been sorting paper, ephemera, stickers, washi tape, holiday stuff, die cuts, bling and more and I feel pretty organized at the moment.
I went to an estate sale last spring and the woman was a hoarder, but a very organized hoarder. She obviously had a QVC/HSN addiction, but all her craft supplies were sorted, boxed and labeled. I'm a pretty organized person, but this was impressive for the vast amount of stuff she had. I don't have anywhere near what she had, but it made me think about how I could be better organized and more efficient. Also, at some point (tomorrow, if my husband had his way) we will be putting this house on the market and it will be so much easier to pack up my craft room if all I have to do is put plastic boxes or drawer units into bigger cardboard boxes and label them.
Oh, I'm also making good use of collapsible storage bins (cubes). Love those things, not only in the craft room, but in my closets and pantry as well.
