Happy New Year: Time to Organize!

2012 is here! I'm so excited to continue posting this year and stretch my creativity in the world of scrapbooking, paper crafts, and design.  Since yesterday was a holiday, it was the perfect time to clean out my scrapbooking storage area... I love nothing more than a good purge and getting rid of clutter!  So these are the piles I wanted to go through and re-organize...

Bleh!  All the open packaging, messy baskets, and random collection of items were starting to bother me.  After throwing away some random paper and samples (yup, just got to do it sometimes) and putting supplies in their proper home, I was happy to downsize a little to start off the new year.

Much better!  Also, you may notice that I didn't include the brown (with pink stripes) CM Power Sort Box in this photo.  During my re-organize session, I discovered that it was empty and waiting to be put to use...

... for organizing cards from our workshops!  We've actually sold the Power Sort Box with this purpose in mind, but this is the first time I'm actually organizing my cards in it.  With the help of the P-touch label maker, I added categories to the dividers and quickly filled up the box.  Yay!  I was pleased with the completion of this small project.
