When I began this process in March 2009 (original post/picture) I knew that my "Cave" needed some organization. I just didn't know where to begin. Then in May of 2009 with the help of Wookiemouse's "Organize Your Stuff Challenge" I found some direction. (My 1st Challenge Post) 29 weeks later I now have a functional and almost completely organized space. I still have a few weeks to go back and finish up but for the most part I'm happy. I did away with the homemade sticker thingy and put them in 3 drawer sterilites.

I needed to address:

• Stickers/3D embellishments Check!!
• Paper & Cardstock Check!!
• Work Surface Check!!
• Stamps Check!!

What I wanted to see:

Dedicated areas for working on tasks like

• "A tool zone"- cutting and embossing station Check!! wire rack Pic #3
• Sewing station-Check!! not pictured above still finishing fabric purge
• "Wet bar"- paints, inks, heat embossing etc Check!! 3 drawer cart under desk
• "Construction zone" -for laying out a project and assembling. Yay,Check!! Elbow Room
  

It's not pretty but It's all mine.

What did I resolve??

Well I decided to K.I.S.S 2010 (Keep It Super Simple). Of course, I started with the usual stuff lose weight, save more/spend less, deepen my relationship with God, spend more quality time with my family (bring back family night), Blah Blah Blah.

So for accountability purposes here's my short-term goals list:
1-Finish up my UFO list
2-Use my stash before bringing in more stuff
3-Blog at least weekly
4-Scrap a page a week (at least)

See simple.
