So now over one month after my organizational troubles, I’ve made such headway. My studio is so almost done. It’s now a workable space with only one table and my secretariat. I have gone through books, magazines, and product. I sorted my current projects so that I may actually get them completed. I created an “In-box” for memorabilia to scrap. Now all I need to do is finish putting the non-crafty books away, sell the file cabinet, and get my framing section of the studio up.
Lately I’ve been eliminating my magazine collection. As much as I love having them for inspiration, the many issues cause a space problem. So my solution is to go through each one and select the layouts, projects, tips, etc. that I like. Then I cut them out and paste them in a notebook with a little note about why I selected it and how I want to use the tip. This notebook is now only 28 pages and has cleared up at least a dozen magazines. It has been great to take with me to crops and glance through for inspiration. I bet this notebook will be my go to tool.
