Some reorganizing and a spring cleaning giveaway

Hi everyone!  So last Friday, I made an impromptu trip to IKEA and ended up buying stuff to reorganize a portion of my craft area.  If you're like me, it's fun to get some new  organization stuff every once in a while.  Here are a couple pictures of what I did.

 Here is my main area, which is off the family room (on the left).  Yeah, I admit it, I have organized clutter everywhere.  Every surface of my craft area has a box/container of some sort with my stuff in it.  But, hey, I like things out where I can see them!

This is under my desk.  Because my desk faces a window, don't have a lot of wall space for shelves and such, so I utilize EVERY INCH of floor space I have.  I bought a couple Billy height extension unit pieces (both the 20" and the 32" sizes).  Technically, they are supposed to go on the top of the bookcases, but I used them on the floor to give me a sturdy way to have extra shelf space. I installed under mounted lighting (also from IKEA) to help me see where things are when I craft at night.

The white boxes are Kassett boxes, they are a stiff cardboard material and work perfectly for stamps, ribbons, buttons etc.  I keep my Gina K stamps in A5 clear 3 ring binders which I buy online at Univenture.  The middle shelf on the left are all my AMuse stamps and those colorful plastic organizers (between my Gina K stamp binders) are from Joanns (Jewelry section) and I keep all my buttons in them sorted by color.

Here is under the left side piece of the desk where I keep all my cardstock (Gina K, Amuse and Bazzill Card Shoppe) and my May Arts ribbon.

Here is a close up of how I store some of the ribbons from The Stamp Simply Ribbon store.  I use the clear plastic boxes and sort the ribbons by category (silk, stripes, ric-rac, etc).  They help me keep my ribbons neat and organized.  You can see them behind my cardstock in CD boxes I bought at Target.

 Here is the top of my work space.  I have a slight addiction to inks and am constantly struggling how to store them.  On the left I have my AMuse and SU inks in the SU ink holder with extension (I have so outgrown this).  On the right I have my extra inks and all my Gina K inks.  The top of the 4 tiered unit is supposed to be for ribbon, I removed the ribbon rod and I now use it to hold embellishments and more inks.

 

 Here is how I store my newly purchased sequins (love these)!  I had these little plastic containers from my friend Heidi who used to have an online store.  They held Dew Drops remember those from years ago?

 While I was doing the reorganizing/ spring cleaning, I found some extra goodies that could use a new home.  So I have a giveaway!

Here is what I have to pass on:

Paper Creations, Spring issue

Brand new GCD and Pink Paislee Christmas (used 3 sheets) paper packs 

 and

Corduroy brads, wooden buttons, wood veneer shapes, ribbon, flowers, buttons and bling!

To be entered, just leave me a comment here on this post and I will pick a winner on Sunday, May 5th.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
