Craftroom!

So, I have a skilled, thoughtful, AWESOME husband! After I had my daughter 3 years ago, I started getting into scrapbooking, sewing, and other crafts. Well, needless to say, I was running out of room on where to put my stuff and it wasn't organized at all! In stepped Superman, I mean, Ryan, and made some things to help with all of that! Take a look!

So, a craft store was going out of business here, and my husband helped them clear out the building. Most of the shelving and all that was going to the dump, but he snagged this for me. A table they use to cut fabric on! I will admit, at first I didn't want it at all. I tried to convince him to throw it away, but now I couldn't imagine not having it in the room. I use it for everything! I keep all my fabric underneath the tables in totes because I don't have enough room.

So, I have a lot of paper and to help with that, Ryan made this awesome holder for all of it. Normally the bottom shelf (which Ryan made) would be standing upright on the floor, but the room was getting kinda crowded and I was getting sick of bending over to get paper out of the bottom shelf so he put it on top of the table. LOVE IT! The black shelf, we got at a furniture store that was going out of business, and my husband got it for $20! SCORE! (The stuff on top will be shown at a later date.)
Another thing we got to help organize things, were these shelves. Lifesavers! I have 5 of them total! The 4 shown here are filled with stamps and they are all in categories.
The other day my daughter and I sorted thru all the buttons I had and put them into jars by colors. I also put hair clips and flowers and some other things into jars.

I also have some, ok, A LOT of ribbon. Hey, I have a little girl, and I love making hair clips for her! So to hold all this ribbon, Ryan made these:

So, there you have it! Come back tomorrow to see what I'm going to do with a bulletin board, some chicken wire, and fabric! I'm pretty excited about it!
