Spring Organization!

I've been on a bit of an organization streak this week. I've cleaned out each and every closet in the house. I unpacked all the kids summer clothes and took stock of what we still need. I got rid of all the mismatched hangers in their closets and bought 100 new white plastic hangers and everything is now hanging. I love it.

I also organized my scrapbook closet. I'm always looking for ways to keep my supplies better organized and more accessible. It's hard with the teeny tiny space I have allotted for my stuff. So yesterday I went to Costco and bought a 2nd rolling cart for all of my patterned paper. I spent all of the kids' nap time yesterday and a bit more of the afternoon separating all my patterned paper by manufacturer and then putting it into alphabetically split up drawers. In an ideal world with endless space I would have a drawer for each manufacturer -- maybe some day. So the cart of the left is for all my patterned paper. The cart on the right has a drawers for all my chipboard, rubons, letter stickers, 2 monthly scrapbook kit clubs that I belong to and a drawer each for patterned paper scraps and cardstock scraps.

The best thing is that they are on wheels so I can wheel them out when I'm ready to scrap and quickly stow them away when I'm done. I am really tempted to buy a third cart and use it to store the kids art/craft supplies.

And of course, I have to give a shout out to my label maker. I love that thing. I use it ALL the time. It makes everything look so neat and tidy. And yes, I know I'm a freak.
