Organization

Well, let me start writing that with this post I don't, by any means try to imply that I'm an expert organizing... I go with the flow and with what works for me and my budget...

Like you saw in my previous post of my scrap corner, that is what I have a CORNER...and it is not big at all!! So I have to do miracles to stay organized with so little space and limited budget.

Lets start with my Raskog cart...

I will start with the bottom tray 'cause apparently I forgot the pic... In that tray I have 2 plastic containers (you'll see it on another photo) that I bought at Walgreen's on the Valentines Clearance section, it have three compartments (and it fits PL cards perfectly) down there I have my less used wood stamps, the homemade perler beads enamel dots, mists and other stuff that I barely use.

This is the top tray of the cart... here I have an Antonius tray that I bought at Ikea with the cart itself (I bought three Antonius) and here I keep the date stamps, stamps, inks, washi samples, adhesive, corner chomper, tiny attacher, paper clips, scissors, pens, pencils, ect.

And on the middle tray I have the second of the Antonius with some of my PL cards, I keep my PL stash by kit and theme.

This is my thickers and alpha stickers storage that I keep on top of my desk. This basket I bought at Target on the dollar spot area and is big enough for this amount of thickers (I don't know how many I have), I think there's space for maybe two or three more but I'll surely need new storage soon.

Also on top of my desk I have this tray that I got at Walgreen's (this is the same as the ones on the Raskog) they were on clearance for 1.75 or something like that. Here I keep my tiny alpha stickers, labels, index cards, some enamel dots and other Studio Calico embellis that I got a while back.

To the left of my desk I have a Wal-Mart bookcase with the rest of my stuff (including the finish albums), on top of it I have my sewing machine, a frame from the dollar spot at Target (I need to change the photo of course), underneath the frame there's a pencil case that I found at Staples for a dollar with scrap of papers and the third Antonius tray with more PL cards. On the first shelve of the bookcase I have my Cuttlebug Kidz (my only die cutting machine :( ), the white tray have markers and other stuff, next is a case I got on the "as is" section at Michael's it holds my sequins (you'll see another detailed photo) and on top of that my water colors and those two compartment cases store a variety of embellishments like my epoxy homemade flairs, wood veneers, labels, letters, cut outs, die cuts, flowers, ect.

This is a more detailed view of the containers on the bookcase, this I got at AC Moore and is intended for beads and the rainbow loom bands. Here I have things that I've download, printed and cut myself like labels, geo tags, sayings, words, ect. 

This container is the biggest one and I bought it at Harbour Freight it's intended to store tools and manly stuff ;), it cost just three bucks!... here I keep wood veneers, flowers, the epoxy flairs that I made, letters, some cut outs of 12 x 12 paper, ect.

This is the sequins container that I mention earlier, got it for $2.49 at Michael's on the "AS IS" section. I have found a bunch of stuff in that section for much less than the regular price! This container it said on the sticker that some parts were missing I think 2 of those small cases, but really for just 2!! It even came with tweezers and another tool on that big case in the center.

OK, moving on... On the second shelve of the bookcase I have my finish and empty albums. The first one from left to right is my current PL album is the black and white polka dot PL brand, the second album is empty, this one I got from my favorite section at M's (the "AS IS") for $4.49!!! Score!!!! The third one is a cloth American Craft and is my 2013 PL album, the fourth and fifth are American Craft but this are the one with the kraft color front and back that you can customize and they hold my PL from 2008 to 2012...

Right next to the albums I have a two drawer plastic container (on the next photos you'll see what I store on this drawers) on top of the drawers there's another yellow cloth American Craft album that Michael's had on clearance for $3.99. And on the last shelve of the bookcase more albums, this are the first traditional scrapbooks that I made they came all the way from Puerto Rico... to the left on the black & white plastic boxes are the Christmas embellishments and other stuff that I use for my December Daily.

On the first drawer are my punches, I don't have a lot.

And on the second drawer I keep my Selphy and accessories. I don't keep it outside 'cause I don't want it to get dusty and this way I can keep little hands and paws from touching it! I have to take it out every time I'm going to use it but I don't mind.

Well, and that's it! I know it was looong, sorry. This is my scrap area and storage like I wrote in the beginning I'm not an expert and there's things that could have being more organized but this work for me and my tiny space and budget.
I'm looking forward to find a better storage cabinet but until then it is what it is!
