When I lived in Hawaii I had a lovely, giant, L-shaped desk and a whole section of the living room (and two closets!) to hold all my scrapbooking stuff. Well, here at our new house this just isn't the case, there isn't space like that. So, I found what space I could and devised a new little scrapbooking area from the closet in the homeschool room. (You can see and read more about that right here.)

Here are some photos of my scrapping area. It is a work in progress. I need another shelf or two and some other things, but it works and is mind. I'm just happy to be back to scrapbooking!

This is what you see when you go upstairs to the spare room. It is our homeschooling room and my scrapping area combined. The green set of drawers in the bottom right corner of the photo hold my Sixxix alphas and all sorts of other scrapping things. The top of the drawers holds my light, a cutting mat, and the Sizzix.

This is looking right towards my scrapping area. The work table I got at Sam's Club. It is 4' long, height adjustable, and folds in half. I'm thinking about getting one that doesn't fold in half and using this one for my husband's desk instead, just so I don't have the foldline in the middle of my scrapping space. The main storage area for my scrapping stuff is in the closet with the doors removed. You can see the three 7-drawer units which hold an assortment of things, with wire cubing sections above holding my CIS paper holders.

Here's a shot of my workspace. on teh table top to the far left is one of the units I recently bought at Target. It holds a divided box of pencils/markers/tools/scissors on top and inside the cubbies has my small xyron X, my xyron Cheetah, MM instant setter, MM date stamp, some glue sticks, Vario tab dispenser, archival pens, stamp pads mostly used for "grundging out" edges of something, and other things. On the wall i want to add a small shelf unit there to put my jars of permanent markers and silk flowers and whatever else I can fit there, to clean up more space on my worktable. At the far end of the worktable is my Chatterbox sidekick type thing holding my Tupperware cup and trash sack! You can see a portion of a wire cubing "tower" I made for holding a basket of CIS flippy things for embellishments, my CIS ribbon storage container and below shelves for works in progress.

Here's a better view of that area. You can see my Stampin' Up! stamp pads all stacked in between the plastic drawers and the wire tower. They fit snuggly there and are right at my finger tips. My SU! markers are right above. Some of my scrapbooking books are on top of the tower along with a basket of photos I'm curerntly working from. I used a label machine to label the plastic drawers. Makes finding things much easier!

Just a closer photo of the drawers and the paper holders. (Ignore the teetering baskets on the left! Those are things i need to go through and either put away or RAK away.)

And here's the top portion of the closet. Surprisingly I was able to assemble the wire cube pieces in a configuration that gave me more shelving. It fits snugly and is easy to access. An overhead built in light in the closet is nice too!
