Some Organizing To Share (lots of Pics)

Today I have a fun project to share that I have been working on but isn't a craft project!!!

If you have been coming here for awhile you know I LOVE,LOVE to organize and change things all the time.
While searching through Pinterest one day I found a great idea and knew it would be a spectacular project to do when I could find the time!
Here is a link to the creative lady that shared her directions Ink Up by Cheryl.
So let me share what my honey helped me do to keep me organized

 My honey went to work using a very light weight wood and cutting blocks and boring out a hole for my finger daubers.
I went to work making a shelf using old foam board someone gave me that was being thrown away.

After my honey sanded these beauties, I went to work labeling each of them with my label maker.

 There are three sections of my most used inks for easy accessibility. My Memento and Stazon are on the deepest shelf. My Tim Holtz /Ranger distressing inks on the other two thinner shelves.

This is a high table right behind my desk that my big shot sits on and my hot glue and embossing area.

 My overage of extra ribbons are above. I cut all this foam core and pieced together with my hot glue gun. It went together really easily and may not be beautiful looking (you can see some of the printing on the original sign) but it works so perfectly to have them all so accessible.

Here is a full view of how they all fit nicely against the wall and really don't take up much space. I am not completely done, I have more blocks but also need some more finger daubers to finish them off.I might even paint the shelf yet.
Thanks for popping in and checking out my latest project.
What are you working on? leave me a link so I can come and check it out.

Craft Room Organization Part 2 (lots pics) WINNER

I am back today to share my second half of my craft room pictures.It feels good to have finished so many projects.
If you can check out part one organizingI shared on Tuesday.

 These are some of the drawers that were stuffed full and unable to open without a great effort.
Chipboard and doily's I cut up and use . 

 I was thrilled to get the same items together and easily accessible when I need them.
I was amazed at how many of the products I didn't even know I owned.
Tattered Angels, More chipboard

 Then I decided to clean out my hanging organizers- these hang on the wall and hold lots of supplies.I have three of them handy when I need them.

 Have you seen these Tim Holtz luggage pieces? I used this small one to put many of my embellishments so I could have them in one place.Next I want to decorate the outside.

Can you believe I went even further? I have these odd pieces of older furniture, the shelves were JAMMED full of things. I cleaned off everything, and got rid of many glass containers I didn't need anymore.


I love how clean they look now and I can enjoy some of my favorite finished projects.

 Last of all I cleaned off my workspace! I love to have most of my supplies near me so when I take time to craft it is there.

 See how much space I have now to work in? Sorry the mat looks so bad-I really need to clean it with a heavy duty cleaner.

So how did you like what I have finished so far?
I have more things to do but I am thrilled with what I accomplished so far.

Thanks so much for the visit

Good job Dawn! It seems that ever since I started my blog called Diary of a Craft Room Organization to hold myself accountable for actually organizing it I've gotten further and further behind. Does anyone else have this problem? I mean the one where we spend more time online looking at all the amazing stuff people have made and wonderfully organized rooms... well you know what I mean, right? I thought so!

How about another small giveaway???
Leave a comment on this post and let me know what your favorite way to organize .
I will pick a winner and announce on next Wednesday

Craft Room Organized (lots pics)

*** there are two posts today Sweet Stamps Project below***

Hello Everyone I am back with Imagine The Possibilities
I am excited to share my progress this month organizing my stamp collection.

Yes, this is all the stamps I own all in one place!!!

They have all been stamped, grouped by theme and placed together.

Now I must confess I didn't do this alone- I bribed, invited a good friend over to help me out this past week.

I will also say I am NOT done. See I want to put most of my stamps on these laminated sheets from Crafter's Companion.

I have several of these sets on order so I can work on putting my stamps on the sheets.

But let me share with you how far we got.

 This picture on the left is all my boxed sets I couldn't fit into the drawers yer. I do plan on taking them off the blocks. The right picture is one of my biggest themes (flowers, trees, nature).

 This right one is all sentiments and words-The left is my larger background stamps.

 This right one is Animals, and the left one is Misc ones that didn't fit in with other themes.

 Now let me share that I also got many other products organized. These are my Clip It Up's. The double tiered one is next to my workspace.It holds all my Really Reasonable ribbons, trims, and assorted products. There is also the top layer with many of my Prima flowers and pearl swirls and such.
The second Clip It Up is behind my work station and holds many of my additional embellishments and larger flower pieces.
Speaking of flowers

 I decided to organize another section of drawers that hold assorted flowers
I know this is a long post and I have so much more to share with you.

I am working on a second post for Friday February 3rd- I will share the next part of everything I have organized. Won't you pop back and check it out

We would love to have you join us by linking up something you have organized or project you finished.

Impossible? I Don't Think So

I am so excited to say I have joined in with a few very inspiring bloggers- They have all set goals to tackle this month. There are some organizing ideas I have been wanting to implement in my Craft Cave

I am proud to say even though I didn't tackle the LARGE project yet I did tackle many small ones.

 I have been working on organizing my embellishments

 I have been working on eliminating or sharing some of my extra ribbons I don't use much

 I have been using and organizing my flowers and laces and trims so I know what I have.
These are only a few things I am sharing- these are pictures I have shared before. I am hoping to have a better view of more organized areas to show by the end of the month.
