Let me know if you have any questions about my space or anything in it! And be sure to leave everyone some love about what you find so wonderful and smart about their spaces!!

FIRST: I have TWO sides to this room, but the bead side (TO THE VERY LEFT OF THE PIC) never got taken... maybe I will do that today. Anyhoo.... this is beginning in the middle of my room, where my two desks face each other....

Here's my fabulous cardstock, under the baskets at top are 12 x 12 bazzill and some SUP!, THEN on the second layer are paper-holders (cropper hopper brand available through me at SUP!) holding 12 x 12 DSP papers, like those by Stampin' UP, Basic Grey, BoBUNNY, etc. Under that, on top of the dresser, is my lovely collection of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock papers by SUP!
Here's the end where you walk into the room - see details of my stamp storage coverage/drapes below....

Detail shot of the cardstock and paper storage.... oh, and the jars of buttons. One has cool colors, one neutrals, and the other warm colors....

Here's the close up of my drapes that I made. It softens the mind a bit by not seeing the stamp storage chaos. I used fusible velcro, that is sticky on one side (SUPAH sticky, I might add). You just have to heat/iron the one side onto the fabric. NO SEWING INVOLVED! WOOHOO! I had originally bought this satin for using as display cloth for my fall shows, but then decided to do this. I LOVE IT!

I just fold the drapes back in little loops when I want to see all of my stamps at once! Otherwise, they remain closed so it looks nicer and less cluttered!!

I used these wonderful Southern Living at Home wire~baskets on my desks (BOTH) to store my everyday items. It is nice that they are see through so I can find what I need easily. I guess I should have taken a picture of my desk so you could see better my 150 COPICS (just visible at the top of the pic) and how I also have a DVD player on my desk for movie-watching while crafting!
Here's my fabulous ribbon storage. I think there were over 300 at last count... My loose ribbon is in drawers from ribbon swaps, and scrap ribbon is in a photo box by my desk for easy reaching.

Here's my everyday punches on the side of my desk. I used the cheapo Walmart towel bars from the hardware section (NOT the curtain/rug section) to hold these. I do have two other drawers of punches that I don't use a lot in the dresser under the paper storage area. My nesties are all in a photobox right next to my desk for easy accessibility!

Here's a pic of some of my photo file boxes that I got at BigLots for $3.00 each. There are a total of 25 or 26 including the beading side of my craft room and they are nicely labeled and separated for easy finding! It has been wonderful having these, I can not even begin to tell you!!

AND, last but not least.... enough to make you drool... MY PRIMAS! I know, I have a bit of an obsession with Prima and with Ribbon... It is embarrassing! BUT, they always say to surround yourself with things you love! HAHA! Just under these shelves, you can see my beading storage containers and one of the 8 or so photo file storage boxes from the opposite side of the room. This corner is what I see when I am sitting at my paper-side desk. It sucks that I have to get up and go across the room to get the primas, but it surely is fun to be able to see them all the time since I am facing them while crafting!

Well, that is it! I hope you enjoyed my Craft Room as much as I enjoy being in it!!!

Enjoy your day!
