I'm calling it finished . . .

I think my craft room organization attempt is finally complete.

I've added these containers from Amazon. Easy to put together and they will hold 12x12 papers. Who remembers Vintage Artistry from 49 & Market. That's the collection that had me hooked on 49 & Market designs. Looks like I was drinking when I applied these labels 😏

Marble color: Amazon.com : Fiyerna Foldable Desk File Holder Organizer Sturdy Cardboard Magazine Storage Box Document Rack with Blank Label Stickers for Home School Office (15, Marble) : Office Products

White: Amazon.com: Thenshop 12 Pcs Scrapbook Paper Storage 12 x 12 Paper Storage Organizer with Tabs Foldable Scrapbook Cardboard Holder Bin for Vinyl Sheet File

Black: Amazon.com: Scrapbook Paper Storage, 4 Pack Scrapbook Papers Organizer with 10 Self-adhesive Labels, 12x12 Paper Storage Organizer Holds over 2000 Papers, File Organizer for Cardstock, Vinyl Sheets, Craft Sheets

For me, I liked all of them but the white containers were the easiest to put together (just a minute or two each). Also, the white containers had a lower "dip" in the back, making it easier to access the papers.

I used the marble colored containers for 8.5 x 11 papers that are "unique" and one of a kind. Papers from the old Stampington magazines, etc. The taller white containers are my favorites.

That shorter white box in the middle holds my black file folders I use for junk journals.

I think my organization is complete

(at least for now).

On to "shopping my own stash" and finding things to use in books.

I am cleaning my craft room . . .

OMG I am overwhelmed with paper, stamps, dies, etc. All the things us paper crafters love but . . . When I feel as though the paper, etc is out of control, I shut down a bit. Too overwhelmed to look for something. Same things in too many places. My OCD sets in and I can't stand the mess any more. Needing a way to better organize, I searched several scrapbook sites but couldn't find anything that I thought would work and was reasonable! Enter Amazon and this . . . Amazon.com : Marbrasse 6 Tier Paper Organizer Letter Tray - Mesh Desk File Organizer with Handle, Paper Sorter Organizer for Letter/A4 Office File Folder Holder - Black : Office Products First, I wanted something that would fit in my file cabinet (it's a big one). And something that was open at the top! My file drawers are 34 1/2" W x 15.5" D. This file system from Amazon measures 13.5" T x 9.1" D x 12.6 W. So far so good. It's metal (I like that) and would hold up to 30 lbs. I ordered 2 ...

Doing a few repairs . . .

on one of my most favorite projects . . . Years ago, Tim Holtz and Mario hosted the most amazing weekends in their hometown. It was named "Holiday Hideaway" and I don't think I'll ever forget it. A small group of us met in Prescott for a superlative weekend of magnificent Christmas projects as only Tim can create! And Mario was amazing, including creating delicious meals for us all weekend! (Mario, I'm still pushing you for a cookbook!) We were invited a couple of years in a row with one year even more meaningful than the next (if that was even possible). One of the weekends at Tim's, I didn't feel like celebrating Christmas at all. My son had been deployed to Iraq, I hadn't heard from him for weeks as he was in ??????? with very little communication. And all I could do was pray that he was alive. And then this weekend happened. And it was magical! Tim & Mario, thank you both for such amazing projects that are still some of my favorites EVER ~ i...
