Hi Jill,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so glad that my post was helpful to you. What an ordeal you are going through! But you are right – it seems like a great opportunity to take stock and organize. I am sure your new system will be even better than before!

Hi Neena,
I just wanted to let you know that I really like the way you have set out simple to follow ‘rules’. In the past couple of weeks, I was set a dilemma with my craft room when I discovered that my wooden shelving had been attacked by white ants. I had to take all of my craft boxes off the shelves and move them into our garage which is attached to my craft room. It gave me a chance to re-organize but I have trouble organizing my craft items into ‘same’ categories. Your lists have given me a few ideas while I wait for new metal shelving to arrive.
I am also a dabbler and I have a lot of UFO’s and WIP’s so I also have to organize them.
Thank you for all of the help in you various organizational pages.

Hi Stephanie,
I use smaller stackable containers for washi. And for my scrapbook paper I actually arrange them by color standing up vertically in an open top cardboard box that just happened to be the right size for 12×12 paper – and have not had any issues with yellowing. I have also used the plastic boxes from Michaels (or probably any craft store) specially designed for papers – which are probably better for delicate papers.

This is a great step to getting organized! I’m curious about items that may require special storage, like Washi Tape/stickers so they don’t get gummy; Paper so it doesn’t yellow or bend. What’s the best way to handle those items?

Hi Jan,
I am so glad that you found my article to be helpful. Craft supplies have such a way of taking over a space.
Currently, I am redoing the Member Resource Library – which is why you couldn’t find it – my apologies!
I did send you an email with how to access the checklist, I hope you received it.
Best of luck in organizing your craft area!

I tried to get the “Organize Your Craft Supplies” checklist… but I couldn’t get it to download. I seriously need this!!!!
Please, can you help me?
Your article was so informative. I loved how you had a place for everything and everything in its place.
I need that so badly… right now everything is such a mess! I’ve found myself buying duplicates because I can’t find what I’m looking for. Thinking I have an essential piece, but it’s all wrong. Or even giving up because keeping a good working area is so hard to get set up.
Your idea and pictures inspired and give me hope I can do it right too. But that list is so important. It will be the perfect kick off point and help me arrange me thoughts as well as my supplies.
