Blog candy! Woo hooooo! I e-mailed you my tips with a picture. Love that Ikea towel rack to store my biggest punches on and my Longaberger baskets to stash stuff in!
OHHHHHHHHHH A bigger craft room.. (AHHH TO DREAM A LITTLE DREAM lol) as far as org. I don’t have any! lol I’m trying to find them myself! lol.. so good luck to everyone! 🙂 HUGS and Congrats to you!
Since I tend to do ribbon shares I don’t have large rolls of it to store. So, I keep my ribbon in a large clear (acrylic) paint can, all decorated of course. It’s really easy to find what you need quickly and doesn’t take up so much space.

Wow, a bigger room, your hubby is the greatest! Good luck! I’m jealous, but happy for you! :o)
I emailed my tips to you!
Have fun with your plans!
That’s beautiful! I love your blog. Thanks for sharing your wonderful artwork.
XO, Mimi
Wow, your own stamping studio … sounds exciting! My favorite storage so far has got to be the bathroom cabinets I’d recently gotten from IKEA. They fit stamps sets perfectly while nicely tucking them away!! I have some pics on my blog!
Wow!! I can’t wait to get a new craft space. My first purchase will be the cabinet from http://www.theoriginalscrapbox.com. For now my space is pretty organized. I discovered that hanging letter file folders hang very nicely on the rim of a bankers box. I have a hanging folder for each color that holds my scraps. All tidy. My 8 1/2 x 11 go in cheap magazine holders from Ikea turned on their backs. Easy access but all tidy. Love the blog. A must check every day. make sure you post some pictures of your new space.
Great Scratch & win Angie…..just wish I could enter!
How cool to get new studio space. I just moved into our spare bedroom and love being able to stamp in peace! LOL Can’t wait to see the finished studio photos.

Hi, Just go to IKEA and buy all your stuff there, I live just 10 minutes away from one and all my stuff comes from there, desk (2) ribbon containers etc, etc. they have it all and you save money to buy stamps with. Good luck with your new space.

Hope it helps & Congrats on the space; I am soooooo jealous!!!
Wow Angie you are so lucky having a new and larger craft space. I don’t have a very large space and it can be really difficult to keep everything in its place. Good luck with your organising. Lots of love, Denise x
I always enjoy reading your blog. I love to use the Cropper Hopper products in my craft room–I have them for ribbon, paper & embellies–always useful.
I love having a room all to myself–I can be messy-lol!

I just got through redoing my craft space. I used some organizers from Ikea like they showed in one of the recent SS mag’s. Here’s a link to some pictures:

P.S. If I win, can I have a Chick Stand too? *wink* I’d even “trade” that for the Tart & Tangy set since I have one of those already. Thanks, Angie, for a great blog and a fun contest!!
My current stamp sets are stored on a shelf that has wheels and is very narrow. It was made to fit between a washer and dryer to hold detergent and laundry items. It doesn’t take up much space, can be moved around, sets fit well on it, and it was inexpensive! I love it!
What great blog candy….i’ll be sure to share some ideas with you. I love your blog!

Angie, Congrats on your new space. And thanks for the chance to win some candy. A couple of things I have in my space I could not live without are the peg board on the wall. I use large baggies to hold templetes, Alphabet sets, stickers and rub-ons. Then I have a cart on wheels from a resteraunt. YOu see bus tubs sitting on them. This holds all my tools and things I use on all projects. Wheels up right next to me. I have a bakers rack (also resteraunt) that holds a ton of my stamps. A tray for flowers a tray for sentiments. It’s easy to see all when working. I will try and send you a link, or e-mail you pics.
HI! I emailed you my tip about my work space. Hope the pics make it clear! So happy you are getting a bigger space…maybe we’ll all reap the rewards of you being even MORE inspired and making EVEN more great stuff!!! If that’s even possible! As always, love the blog. Take care during this crazy season of storms!

Congrats on getting a larger craft room!! My fave thing right now is a rotating desk item organizer. I put the things I reach for a lot in there, my bone folder, my scissors, my glue pen, my blender pen, my watercolor pen, etc. You get the idea. Otherwise I’m looking all over for these items.
Great blog candy, I would love to win that stamp set!!!
Emailed ya!
Hi Angie
I emailed you some sites with ideas and pictures you might like. Thanks for all YOUR great ideas and videos. Have fun with your new room.

Hey Angie, this is great … not only is there Blog Candy up for grabs but there’s all this great organizational tips for the rest of us too! I too am in the process of reorganizing unfortunately I am not getting a bigger space so will have to make due with a 10’x10′ spare bedroom. You’ve received so many great ideas that I don’t think I have any to add in that respect. One thing I have in my space is a vinyl phrase above my window that says,”Do one thing every day that makes you happy.” Believe me, stamping and scrapping makes me very happy! So, when you’re planning your new space, remember to surround yourself with things that make you happy!
New space–how fun. I will watch with interest as I am starting to plan a new bigger space as well. Punches are one of my most used items so a towel bar to hang thime on is a must.
Hi, My first time on your blog and because I am from Australia I suppose I can’t enter your blog candy, but my advice is have the biggest desk as possible if you are like me you always can’t have too much room (and have a bookcase hutch on top for lots of storage, mine is being delivered on Wednesday).
Holy Moly! A craft room from scratch…I would love it! My suggestions are:
1. Make sure all your supplies you use frequently are at your fingertips. So really look at what you are using over the next couple of weeks and plan that to be within arms reach.
2. I would have a lot of counter space in order to have several different work stations, i.e. computer station, embossing station, layout station (in order to keep your layouts out), card making station and a video camera station. The more counter space the better.
3. Lots and lots of shelves!

Hi! I got overwhelmed with my ribbon so I bought a bunch of glass kitchen jars at Target to store them in. I now have them organized by color and it’s great for so many reasons: 1. I can quickly grab the jar with the right color; 2. I use ribbon that used to be down at the bottom of my ribbon box (you know, the ribbon I never saw); and 3. it looks GREAT on my shelf.
Thanks for the opportunity to win. I’ve wanted that stamp set since I first saw it in March.

Cabinets and countertops offer the much-needed storage space in the bathroom to store your toiletries, keep medicines and first-aid box, cleaning milk, moisturizer and deodorants, towels and napkins besides other things that you use daily while showering in your bath. They are powerful accents to your bath décor and help you to define the tone and style of the bathroom wall cabinets and make the best use of the wall and floor surface of the area. http://bathroom-wall-cabinets.blogspot.com .
