I really need to weed out my stamp collection as well, because I have a lot I need to give away. I've already given a load of CTMH stamps to a friend who has three sisters who are enjoying them now. That is fun. And I love all the wonderful organization, especially the idea of cutting down 12x12 DP to 6x6. I've been thinking a lot about that, and I know it would give me a LOT more space and control. I really don't make cards larger than that. And if I do, I'll use something else or create my own DP if I need it. I love your new Stamping Command Center - hehe, cute name, and it looks like a great place to work, especially with that wonderful OTT light. I've not seen that long-arm version. Will have to check that one out. Well, what a delight and wonderful visit, sweet friend, and I know you are looking forward to that wonderful window, new paint, and then a final tour-de-Leslie! Enjoy, and thanks for sharing your room with us!

I bet it felt good while you were going through your stash, and enjoying all the hidden treasures and reorganizing things. Our rooms DO deserve to be in good shape, and your's is GORGEOUS! Loving everything you have done, and how you have done it - especially in the closet. Those cubes really make for an expedient "mobile" method of storage, especially in the closet! Hmmmm - I had not thought of that, and REALLY like that clever, neat-looking idea. Great way of organizing all your papers. I'm rather wasteful since my cards are seldom the A2 size. And yours always look so spectacular! I can never get everything I want on a card. Then again, that comes down to being an artist. Your artwork is so pretty, it doesn't need clutter like mine do. LOL<br /><br />Hoping your week is thoroughly enjoyable! hugs, deDonna Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16493910748228055970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726403261110080226.post-42983091764548752632016-10-02T10:12:10.922-07:002016-10-02T10:12:10.922-07:00Wow!

I keep trying to keep organized, but whenever I make a card it gets all out of hand again. I really need to make an effort to pick up and put away when I'm done before I start on another project.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01174380245343404465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726403261110080226.post-81964729538901774232016-10-01T05:15:04.505-07:002016-10-01T05:15:04.505-07:00It looks amazing Leslie...

I adore those button jars, great idea and yes you should use them more often. ;-) I can't believe you were able to limit your designer paper to just that area. Must be a deep cabinet and bins. hee hee Kidding... It looks wonderful and the new window and paint will really make it all that more special. Can't wait to see the end result!

I have my button jars everywhere, I really need to get them all in one place. You have given me such inspiration for organizing, I especially love the idea of cutting the 12 x 12 pads into 6x6, I may just have to do that one for sure :) I will have to say I love my window, although it looks out over the front yard and road, it is nice to look up and see what is going on outside while I create, I am sure you are going to just LOVE that!Conniecrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09266327228870948083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726403261110080226.post-55189942981040306152016-09-30T00:55:33.944-07:002016-09-30T00:55:33.944-07:00Your space looks fabulous!

We seem to think alike and have a similar sized room. I too cut my 12x12 sheets of dsp, but I cut them into 4x6 strips to use as 4 x 5 1/4 card panels, stored in ziploc bags. I store my 12x12 cardstock flat in a drawer since I don't have many sheets, and the rest of my cardstock in a file drawer. I'm glad you have a new window.Dorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365905998420493841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726403261110080226.post-5019916950151341272016-09-28T16:40:19.530-07:002016-09-28T16:40:19.530-07:00It's always fun and inspiring to see a fellow ...It's always fun and inspiring to see a fellow stamper's space and organizational techniques. I like your thinking...great ideas and tips, Leslie! I always try to do a little purging and organizing...but sometimes I feel like that gets more attention than the card making. I haven't shared this on my blog...but our Beulah just had the same knee surgery that your Wally had last Thursday. We still don't know if she has hip dysphasia as we finally got a second opinion after a month of no improvement at our CSU Vet and Medical CEnter. We'd had her on limited activity during that time...I have referred to your posts a few times to know what to expect. So, thank you for your helpful posts, and I hope Wally is improving daily!!Traci Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160872713951319803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726403261110080226.post-77948869396580496312016-09-28T16:13:02.465-07:002016-09-28T16:13:02.465-07:00Wow, your room looks so organized!

I like your idea of the 12 x 12 papers cut down and a bag to put your 6 x6 pads and leftover scraps that go with that pad. I think I might steal your idea on that. I really need to purge, but I always think if I get rid of it what if I need it. But on the other hand if I haven't used it in a long while I guess I never will. Your new window and view of your gardens sounds so wonderful. I love my small window in my room, I spend more time watching the birds sometimes than stamping! Thanks for sharing all your organizational ideas!Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17676849205282452084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726403261110080226.post-53052846515717727792016-09-28T11:49:22.416-07:002016-09-28T11:49:22.416-07:00WOW!

I had a friend build my craft room too, and I have to keep SU items separate, since I'm a demo and can only use SU things for classes. So one side is SU, and the other is "everyone else". Stamps though, are inside a cabinet in the closet marked by the company name in bins and photo boxes. Shamelessly though, I don't get to the "others" very often, but I still must buy them. I'm so addicted. Your room is beautiful and having that window, looking into the garden, must be pure joy. Especially when the babies are out there sniffing those gorgeous flowers of yours. Hugs and happiness. ...

It's so overwhelming that I'm not certain where to start. Some days, I want to haul it all out and take it to the transfer station. I haven't seen more than 3 square feet of floor for years. I moved my crafting to the kitchen counter long ago...and the otherwise-unused kitchen table "stores" the supplies before I put them back into the PIT.
