What's been taking over my free time (ha!)

So it all started when I found I wasn't happy with my paper storage and it all snowballed from there.I originally had my paper in wire shelves but the sheer weight of cardstock caused me some concern. So I moved all my paper to a new shelving unit. I also dug out an old cd holder
from Ikea that turned into an ink/border punches storage.
Then I wasn't too thrilled about all my paper scraps and to be honest my scrap storage broke so I found this fun little cart at Costco that organized my scraps plus gave me extra storage drawers underneath.
the drawers hold a variety of stuff like 6x6 paper pads, bling and pearls, extra adhesive and flowers.

then I found this cool shelf thing at a garage sale that looked like this
 

Ugly huh? But it has potential! A can of spray paint and volia!

Much better I think! It holds half of my stamps, card making stuff, things to alter and paint.
At this same garage sale I found this table top for $10! I brought it home and put on some legs and wow! New desk! I had to change over what I had because the old one would shake everytime I used my cricut. Not cool.
I also rearranged some shelves and used them in the closet. Here I have my albums, photos, my photo printer (high away from little fingers), markers, small embellishments, glitter glue, my cuttle bug, Christmas stamps and my binders with sketches, acrylic stamps and rubons in.
Here's the view from my desk. I took the closet doors off to create more room and to be honest I never closed them anyways. I hung the curtain just for looks. Behind the curtain is all my dayhome supplies for crafts and games.
And all the Mother's Day gifts from my kids. I labelled everything and got it all organized. What a job that was!
This is a new ribbon organizer that I got off of a daily deal site. It is by Simply Renee and hold spools on top, and clips on the bottom. I already had my ribbon organized in ziptop bags so I turned them upside down and clipped them that way. My felt pieces are the same way.

So that's my room. I do also have another rolling cart with 3 large drawers that holds my extra cricut supplies, my zutter binding supplies and my computer stuff like photo papers and inks. I guess I have no excuses not to scrapbook anymore right?
