I have such a limited space available for my scrappy stuff so I am always looking for new ways to get organized! I came across this gret info on scrapjazz and thought I would post it for you...
First Steps First
Before beginning to organize your supplies, there are a few things you should do first.
Decide what you want to organize. Maybe you only need to organize your paper, or maybe it will be a complete room makeover.
Research websites. Look for scrapbook rooms that show ideas of what you are trying to organize whether it is ribbons, papers, embellishments, etc. Save these ideas into your "favorites." There is a wealth of organizational information available on the web.
Decide if you are going to have to purchase storage items. Measure your supplies first to make sure they will fit in your storage containers. Take a note with those measurements with you when you shop. A small tape measure in your purse can be handy too.
Set aside time to organize. It might be something small and quick that you need to organize, or it may be a large project that will take several days. Be prepared to take the time you need. It will be worth it in the end.Taking time to follow these steps will help you get ideas and find what will work for you.
