I was just downloading some svg files last night & thought that I needed to have a system to know what I have cuz I have so many I don't even know I have! I like this idea! It's gonna be my new project! I love how all your stuff is organized - I agree - very difficult to get much scrapping done away on your own in a room with children in the house...actually impossible not just difficult!
The left side are all my SVG files for my Cricut, the right side is all my paper piecings
I originally had an entire bedroom all too myself. But with a 2 1/2 yr old and 2 1 yr olds that just didnt work. I never got any scrapping done. So I recently moved all of my stuff into the dining room. I get lots more done now, but everything has to be baby proof.
The dresser is the kids clothes (and yes, its in my dining room- they usually get dressed downstairs anyway, so we just moved it) I have my photo printer and regular printer on top. The plastic container has my chipboard in it, well some of it. They are seperated by flourishes and things like hearts, stars and punctuation in 2 drawers and flowers and bugs (ladybugs and the like) in another drawer.
All of my stickers, rub ons, etc are in the shoe organizer. They are seperated by Alphas, Thickers, Sentiments, Military, Family, Rhinestones, Pets & Animals (including zoo stuff), Holidays birthdays and weddings, travel and vacation, baby and toddler, Felt Fusion, doodles and stitches and the last 3 are misc. The card stock on the table is all my Core'dinations and American Crafts, which is what I use the most. My other cardstock is in the bottom drawer of the big rubbermaid tote (it actually says chipboard, but I moved my chipboard to the drawer above that) and the top drawer are my finished layouts that still need to go in albums (I have over 50, I am so behind!) That also stores all of my memorabilia that still needs to be scrapped.
On top of my shoe thing are my paints, ink pads, and journaling pens. Just recently we had an incident where my 2 yr old dumped hot pink paint on 1 of the babies (as well as my beige carpet) So things like paint and ink pads stay far, far away LOL
My paper is still a huge mess. My 12x12 folders got ruined and I am working on replacing them and reorganizing my paper, but for now it works
All my embellishments are put away in organizers- easy to grab and go for a crop, and also away from the kids
I loved having my own bedroom, but now I am more comfortable being in the dining room. I can still see whats going on, who pulled whos hair, who kicked the dog, and who really dumped the cat food on the floor. Plus I still feel like the boss of the house ;)
