Posted: 12/30/2012 5:12:50 PM Right now it's a MESS because I am working on Journal Your Christmas. But most of the time things are put away and my room looks neat. I found while working on this project it's easier for me to leave it all out.

Posted: 12/30/2012 5:19:38 PM I am like you amom23. My scrapbook stuff is very organized, but I just can't seem to be as organized in the rest of my house.

Posted: 12/30/2012 5:37:31 PM Right this second it's a pigsty. But I'm in the middle of sorting my stamps by "like items" so I have them all over the place. Normally though it's pretty organized. I survived one of the 2peas organizational challenges and even though I do keep changing things as my stash grows and/or changes, my stuff stays pretty organized.

Posted: 12/30/2012 5:59:02 PM None of it is as organized as I would like, in fact I let a pile develop before I went on vacation that would be priority one once I sit down and organize again. (I will most likely ignore the pile for several projects before then.) Next priority after that will be organizing one photo box that got a little bit out of order recently and then my DH's pre-marriage photos that have been completely unorganized the whole time I have scrapped. Photos is where I fell behind when doing the ongoing Organizational Challenge here.

Posted: 12/30/2012 6:11:46 PM My photos both digital and prints are very organized along with notes about people, places, dates, and stories all the way back to vintage family photos. My craft supplies....not so much. They are generally organized but I'm not making the best use of my space so my craft room/office always looks cluttered. But, I know where everything is.

Posted: 12/30/2012 7:44:51 PM My stuff is about 1/4 organized, but I cannot find what I need when I need it because I always need something from the 3/4 that is not organized.

My choice is to not take it personally - people have opinions. Particularly people here.-Peabay 12/29/11 I know this is assuming, but I'm really starting to think you are one of those "entitled" peas - Dalayney 4/2/12

Posted: 12/30/2012 8:16:19 PM My scraproom is actually pretty organized, although I have spent the better part of the past 3 days putting the room back together again after the flurry of Christmas cards and other craftiness are finished. I think my scraproom is the best organized room in the house, right after my kitchen.

Posted: 12/30/2012 9:09:33 PM I think I am generally a pretty well organized person, and that extends to my crafting supplies. The fact that I don't have a dedicated space and that the space I use is very small kind of forces to clean up frequently. Usually after each LO I'll put everything back, or if it's an ongoing project I put all the materials in an Iris box.

Posted: 12/30/2012 9:54:08 PM My scrap closet is the cleanest space in the house. I have so little control over how things are and where things go in this tiny 700sqft house so I do what I can in my own 2'x4' area. Everything is organized within and inch of its life and that's how I like it! And I clean up after every project, and usually, if the project has several steps, after every technique I use.

Posted: 12/30/2012 10:05:37 PM I think can find about 85-90% of my stuff. But that 10-15% is in random places. I've been slowly reorganizing my room which I share with my office and the kids craft space. My DH has a desk too but he has since stopped gaming (I never thought I'd see the day!). Now DH wants to use some of the space for small weights. Totally do able but now we are looking to rearrange again. I've got a large wall to wall closet filled with stuff. It is neat for the most part but not all like things are stored together. And I'd really like some good shelves in there instead of the makeshift ones that I have. I defnintely will be doing some reorganizing in 2013. My photos are about the same. The digital one are mostly organized but need to be cleaned up! ca angel

Posted: 12/31/2012 7:28:41 AM My photos are all organized on my computer. My scrap area not so much. I had to clear out my scrap room to make a bedroom for my husbands kids so my stuff all ended up in our bedroom. We are also in the process of moving in a few months so my thinking is why bother I can organize it again when we get moved. I do pretty much know where everything is and can find what I need when I sit down to scrap. Now I just have to keep hubby from piling his crap on my table. lol

Posted: 12/31/2012 9:56:23 AM I just moved into my new studio a few weeks ago & I am so organized that I need to mess it up so I can see what I have. I've been scrapbooking for the past week for the first time since the new studio & can't find anything. I keep having to stop and go pull things out. When we moved I threw out all the craft & sewing stuff I never touch & I am really organized down to just what I loved & use most. It feels really great!

Posted: 12/31/2012 10:01:23 AM Mine is only clean and organized because I moved into a new place! I moved in September, set up my craft area in the loft upstairs in October. I have since rearranged and reorganized it three more times yet I haven't scrapped in it until today. I have already noticed a few things that I have to move around for ease of use and i have taken notes about where i want to rearrange things. Since this is technically also the family room, I have to keep it neat or my grandson will eat everything!

Posted: 12/31/2012 3:03:26 PM My scraproom is super organized. Everything in it's place. Easy to get to and I put back after using. My pictures needed some help. I acutally spent most of the day so far organizing them. I had all my pictures posted to a website for the past 10 years that just went out of business and deleted everything. I have spent the last month trying to get them back on another site. Therefore, it was imperitive to get all my digital files organzied.
