She
participated in the 2009 BPS class and she agreed to let me share her
space pictures. She has a large collection of stamps, die cuts, and
tools.
She shares her top 3 takeaways from this experience
1.
"One of the most valuable lessons was learning to let go of things that
I never use or don't really like anymore. I let go of almost two-thirds
of my stuff! It's like a weight off my back."
Before images of her space
2.
"Learned how to organize in a way that makes me more productive and I
can find what I'm looking for, making my space work for me."
After images of her space
3."Learned that I can apply the organizing process to other areas of my home and my life. I also love how quickly I can clean up and return supplies to their "home".
Below are a few of my favorite storage solutions she has incorporated
love this storage piece that utilizes what could be wasted space
One of the biggest challenges people have is how to organize and store their memorabilia. Cathy choose to organize in chronological order and stores in open baskets, with cute round labels.
Also like her simple storage for scraps
Thank you for sharing another totally inspiring re-do!

Denise. The curtain wires are from Ikea. They are called Dignitet. The clips are also from there. The curtains are homemade. Very simple to do. They are reversable too.

I am absolutely loving all the reorganized scrap spaces. I am about ready to completely overhaul my scrapbook room so these ideas are really helping. Now if I could just find your book I'd be good to go! :-)
