Spic and Span

I was a busy beaver this AM and cleaned up my paper station (it really needed it, as evidenced in the before photo). To be honest, I had to clean it because I was looking for one very important, very small piece of paper in the midst of everything. Luckily, I found it! And now my space is very tidy and my scrap papers are all sorted :)





I'm embarassed that it looked like this before! Here is what it looks like now:



I sorted out all of my scraps by solids and patterns, in the two baskets. I added a table cloth (that is fabric left over from the head table at my wedding!) to hide the junk under the table, and I moved the paper cutter to the other side so that paper won't fall off the edge of the table after it has been cut. I also kept bumping my hip on the lever when I would leave the room.

The shelf above the table was my $10 garage sale find that I painted, it holds merchandise ready to be shipped. On top of the shelf there are various jars of ribbon spools. Next to the shelf is a thrifted wall sconce that holds this. I want to paint the sconce as well.... obviously I have a lot of paint projects! Under that shelf is a thrifted letter holder that needs to be painted - it holds tiny pieces of paper.

Thanks for looking! Tomorrow I am headed to the closing of the *only* scrapbook store on the island... which makes me very sad, but everything is 40% off so that makes me happy! Check back here tomorrow because I will be posting a little write-up about my favorite tools. I will tell you some tips and tricks to how I do my crafts :)
