Organization & Planning

For part of this weekend I spent some time organizing my little "craft area" downstairs. This is technically supposed to be part of the portrait studio we set up in the empty area we have in the basement, but since the studio isn't getting much use I decided I actually needed to utilize the space better. I also decided that because I was sick of my dining room table always being messy with my scrapbook and crafty stuff! Anyway, here is the progression:

Started out as a mess of course

And here is the table after organization ;)

Ribbon and ink bins

Flowers and color swatches boxes

I absolutely LOVE my new paper organizer. I found this thing for $5 at Big Lots!

I started creating my idea books for my papery projects. Slowly but surely I'll build up my ideas and portfolio. For now, I have my favorite book (below) to drool over and flip through.

My handy storage cases.

And how would a craft room organization update be complete with some inspirational and wishful thinking?!?! These rooms are just AWESOME and I hope someday I'll be able to create a space like these. Having so much color in a place can really inspire you to be creative! These rooms are my ultimate dream!
