Are your scrapbooking supplies organized?
Mine are. The rest of my house might not be, but my scrap studio is! After showing my hanging rack my dad made me the other day, I decided to show the rest of my organization. For me, it’s a visual thing. Out of sight, out of mind. So, I try to keep things out in the open where I can see them and remember to use them. I’ve got a wall with shelves from the ceiling almost to the floor, so lots of shelf space to use.
I’ve organized by color, cause I like seeing the rainbow in my studio/office and I spend most of my days in here. My dear mother-in-law was a packrat and never threw anything away, so I took her Mason jars that are probably older than me. There are even some beautiful blue ones, but I’m thinking about something else I can do with those to show them off instead of using them for organization. I have organized my ribbons by color, one jar for each, and organized my flowers by color, one jar for each, and lined them up on my shelves. These are two things that I use all the time. The ribbons are also divided into floral/words/stripes/polka dots/prints. (I also had to buy some Mason jars and I found them by the case at Big Lots.)
For my loose letters like Making Memories metal letters or tag letters, etc., I bought a nuts/bolts organizer in the hardware department at WalMart and I have them organized by letter.
The next thing on my organizing to-do list is to organize my buttons in the same way. It’s funny, I can’t stand cleaning but I love to organize!

I love the tags on the jars…you are so amazing…I need to kick it in the butt and make mine ‘look’ nicer
That is pretty cool! Like how you have stuff organized.
I like my stuff to be out, too, so I can see it. I spent all day today going through my stuff to re-aquaint myself with it. It was pretty fun. One of my favorite things to do is to just take all the random left-overs that seem to accumulate on my table and challenge myself to use them up somehow…and usually, I manage. Pretty fun! Love the organization and thanks for sharing!
