Let's face it.



I love to organize, but let's face it... I'm a mess. I enjoy a good sale and will purchase anything if it is a good deal. So after having to go through my stuff a million times I have come to the conclusion...
I must like what my studio looks like, this way I will want to show it off. ie-clean it up more often. So I am really evaluating what I need, what I use and what is the best organizing tool (not necessarily the best deal) to contain my supplies. Well if the first part of recovery is admitting you have a problem I am on step three or four. I am taking action. My first mission was paper scraps. I color coordinate my paper so I can find it quickly- solid, cardstock and patterned of the same color go in the same bin. I also keep a bin of stamped images (wishes, mess ups- to use to make a quick card). My problem was containing it. I found some great bins for 100 yen (one dollar) and I had to open and close them to put paper away. Too much work (I know I am lazy) so I found these great little zipper bins at Ikea for 4.99 (the real ones I wanted were from Hobby Lobby and 20.00) So I still went the cheaper route but I am happy. Scraps are where I can find them now. Here's to you getting your life organized too!

Love those bins. Do they have white? You know me, so plain. They look pretty close to the ones at HL.
