A FRESH SCRAP SPACE

My brother and his girlfriend just moved in together, and because of that I have a re-made scrap space. It's one of those "if this goes here, then this needs to go there and then that needs to go over there" kind of things. He's giving us his couch, so we're throwing out the one that's in our game room. And that's what led to the whole refurnishing carousel and so I have a nice new scrap space. Love it!

This was the old space:


It was nice, but I hardly ever sat there because the shelf blocked out the natural light from the window. It was also not practical because it was very unorganized. The black boxes hadn't been sorted through since I started scrapping in 2008! 

This is the same space now:



All my albums went with the larger Expedit downstairs to the kitchen. And to answer a question posted to me on Instagram, yes this does fit all my scrappy stuff! Here's how it's organized:


So what's in the jumble box, right? Empty crop bags, my heating tool (it didn't fit in the toolbox), a cutting mat, water colors and my half finished December Daily from 2012. Yeah. That's not going to get finished either, but I couldn't throw it out.


And yes, all my veneer is mixed into one bowl including the alphas. No, I can't find anything. No, it doesn't bother me, haha! I hardly ever use them anyway.

On my desk I keep the things I use all the time. My tiny attacher, my acrylic blocks, black ink and four circle punches. Behind the door on the left I have my mists and embossing powders and the tiny drawer on the right has dimensional adhesive, tiny attacher refills and new cutting blades for my paper trimmer. The large drawers has a few stray things like half used Thickers packages and some lovely LLP screen prints.

And guess what?! There is something for you on my desk as well. A whole bag full of unused items I cleaned out when reorganizing. All you need to do is put your name in the comments below. If you have a SC user name please post that, so I can find you easily should you forget to check back! I will randomly draw a winner to be posted on Friday August 29th.
