HERE IS MY CRICUT TABLE BEFORE- WHAT A MESS! NOW ITS NEAT & UNDERNEATH HOUSES MY CUTTLEBUG, XRYON DESIGN RUNNER & EXTRA MATS & DIRECTIONS FOR CRICUTS & CUTTLEBUG. THE PICTURES BELOW THAT SHOWS THE SHELF THAT HAD HOMESCHOOLING SUPPLIES ON IT, BUT I CLEARED IT OUT TO WHAT I WILL ONLY NEED FOR THIS YEAR AND PUT MY CARTRIDGES ON THE BOTTOM SHELF, RIGHT NEXT TO THE CRICUTS. LOVING THIS.. CAUSE BEFORE THEY WERE UNDER THE TABLE WHERE THE CRICUTS ARE AND I HAD TO LAY ON THE FLOOR TO FIND ONE!
CLICKING ON THE PICTURES WILL MAKE THEM FULL SIZE- YOU CAN SEE BETTER THIS WAY.
THIS IS THE AREA THAT STILL NEEDS WORK... ITS JUST BAGGIES AND STORAGE BINS THAT I HAVE TO PUT AWAY... THIS WILL BE A BREEZE! OH.. AND IT HAS A FEW MORE BOXES OF STUFF I PACKED UP.
THIS IS MY ROLLING CART THAT I KEEP SOME MISC ITEMS. BEFORE IT WAS A MESS AND JUST THROWN TOGETHER. THE 2ND SHELF WAS FULL OF BAGGIES... IF YOU SEE IN THE AFTER PICTURE... I SORTED THE BAGGIES BY SIZE MOST USED AND PUT THEM IN 3 PRETTY CONTAINERS. I ALSO CLEANED OUT THE JUNK & MOVED MY CUTTERS TO AN EASIER TO REACH AREA.
NOW THIS AREA WAS TRASHED! IT STILL NEED SOME WORK, BUT I ONLY NEED TO SORT MY CHIPBOARD AND PUT AWAY SOME NEWER EMBELLISHMENTS THAT ARE IN THE LAUNDRY BASKET. AGAIN, CAKE WORK AFTER THE REST I HAVE DONE! LOL. THIS AREA HOUSES MY JEWELRY MAKING ITEMS, MISC EMBELLISHMENTS, QUILLING ITEMS, GOLD LEAFING ITEMS & METAL SHEETS. BUT THERE IS A HUGE IMPROVEMENT FROM BEFORE!
THIS IS ANOTHER DESK AREA THAT IS NEXT TO THE ONE ABOVE. BIG DIFFERENCE FROM BEFORE TO AFTER! THIS HOUSES GEMS, SEQUINS, MISC EMBELLISHMENTS, SANDS & SAND TOOLS, GLITTERS, PEARL X, MICROBEADS, INK PADS, RUBBERSTAMP TOOLS, SPECIALTY GLUES, EMBOSSING POWDERS, ALCHOLOL & WALNUT INKS, LIGHTBOX, BRASS STENCILS & PASTE, AND THE ROLLING CART OF MY STENCILS/TEMPLATES.
THIS IS THE DESK AREA IN THE OTHER HALF OF THE ROOM WHERE ALL THE SHELVING & DRAWER SYSTEMS ARE. THIS AREA HOUSES ALL MY PAINTS, BRUSHES, FOAM PIECES, SCRAP PAPERS, CRAYONS, KID MARKERS, ETC. THE FIRST AFTER PICTURE I PUT MY SCRAP PAPERS ON THE DESK AND THEN MOVED THEM TO THE TOP OF A DRAWER SYSTEM... LIKE IT BETTER LIKE THAT.
THIS IS ONE OF THE SHELVES THAT HAD SOME OF THE BOXES OF RUBBERSTAMPS AND BOXES OF PAGE KITS. AFTER, I MOVED ALL THE RUBBERSTAMPS TO ONE AREA AND THIS NOW HOUSES STICKERS AND THE BOTTOM HAS MY SWAPS/DIE CUTS. ITS NICE TO HAVE THEM ALL IN ONE AREA! AND THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM IN THE BOXES TO EASILY LOOK THROUGH THEM AND PULL OUT WHAT I NEED.
THESE ARE TWO MORE SHELF SYSTEMS THAT HAD MORE RUBBERSTAMPS AND A BUNCH OF OTHER CRAP. THE AFTER PICTURES SHOW HOW I PUT ALL THE RUBBERSTAMP BOXES ON THESE TWO SHELVES SO THEY ARE ALL TOGETHER IN ONE AREA AS WELL. MUCH EASIER NOW, SO I DONT HAVE TO WALK ON 2 SIDES OF THE ROOM AND SEARCH THROUGH 3 SHELVES TO FIND WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR. THE SHELF WITH THE RIBBONS AND FIBERS NOW ALSO STORE MY PAGE KITS BY THEMES. AGAIN, NICE TO HAVE THEM IN ONE SPOT!
THIS SHELF WAS A HODGE PODGE OF JUNK! NOW SINCE I HAVE SO MUCH SPACE I WAS ABLE TO USE THIS TO PUT MY PAGES IN PROGRESS, WORK COMPLETED, HOW TO'S & TIPS BOXES, SEWING ITEMS (I PACKED UP TONS OF WHAT I WONT USE AND ONLY LEFT OUT A SMALL SEWING BOX, MY MINI MACHINE, HEIDI SWAP IRON, AND BOBBINS), 2 LARGE ALBUM KITS THAT I WANT TO USE TO PUT MY COMPLETED PAGES IN, MY XYRON PCS ( I ORIGINALLY PACKED THIS, BUT TOOK IT OUT OF STORAGE AND LEFT IT IN THE BOX IN CASE I WANT TO USE IT), MY BINDING MACHINE, AND THE BOTTOM SHELF IS KIDS CRAFTS THAT WE USE FROM TIME TO TIME.
THE BEST PART OF ALL IS I HAVE MY WORKSPACE BACK! HERE ARE THE BEFORES AND AFTER OF MY DESK... UGH! BUT NOW, EVERYTHING HAS ITS PLACE AGAIN AND IS SORTED MUCH BETTER THAN BEFORE! I AM THRILLED ABOUT THIS!
SO, AS YOU SEE, I HAVE GOTTEN A LOT DONE IN THE PAST 2 DAYS! I ONLY HAVE A LITTLE BIT LEFT AND THEN JUST A GOOD DUSTING AND VACCUM AND I WILL BE READY TO GO! THANKS SO MUCH TO ALL THAT HAVE HELPED ME, ENCOURAGED ME, ROOTED ME ON, AND ACTUALLY CAME TO SEE MY BLOG! IT HAS BEEN HARD FOR ME TO SHARE MY MESS WITH YOU, AS I AM SUCH A NEAT FREAK AND AM ASHAMED OF HOW I LET THE ROOM GET... BUT I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE... SO YOU CAN ALL GET YOUR SPACES ORGANIZED AND SCRAP READY! ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED IS THAT I DONT NEED ANYMORE STUFF! WHAT I STILL HAVE OUT, I HAVE AS MUCH PACKED AWAY, IF NOT MORE! SO A GOOD TIP I AM GOING TO DO AND AM GOING TO SHARE... IS IF YOUR A HOARDER LIKE ME... PACK AWAY A LOT OF YOUR STUFF... AND WHEN YOU HAVE THE URGE TO SHOP, GO SHOPPING IN YOUR OWN HOUSE, WITH YOUR SUPPLIES YOU HAVE HIDDEN AWAY. MAKE A BOOKSHELF IN ANOTHER ROOM THAT YOU ONLY GO TO WHEN YOU WANT TO SHOP... BRING A BAG AND FILL IT UP... AND THEN GO PUT IT AWAY IN YOUR ROOM. BUT ONLY DO THIS AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED AN ALBUM, OR USED A LOT OF SUPPLIES... KEEP A LIMIT TO WHAT YOU WILL HAVE IN YOUR SCRAP SPACE, AND PUT THE REST AWAY! IT WILL BE LIKE A NEW FIND WHENEVER YOU GO TO YOUR "SHOPPING SPACE" AND IT WILL BE EVEN MORE SATISFYING AS YOU DONT HAVE TO SPEND MONEY AND YOU CAN AFFORD TO GO THERE WHENEVER YOU NEED TO! ORGANIZING TOOLS DONT HAVE TO COST A FORTUNE! DOLLAR STORES AND REUSING POSTAL BOXES... CANT BEAT THAT! OF COURSE WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THOSE ROOMS YOU SEE IN MAGAZINES... BUT WE CANT ALL AFFORD THEM OR HAVE THE SPACE FOR THEM... SO MAKE DUE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE... AND PUT THE REST AWAY!
THANKS AGAIN FOR VISITING MY BLOG AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY!
