Craft Hoarders March Link Party!!

** edited to include link where to purchase shelves here **
For every month that contains a fifth Monday, at Craft Hoarders we will do a FEATURE WEEK and a LINKY PARTY! 

The design team members will take turns sharing their storage tips and solutions. Each of us will share how we store our hoard! Three designers will share each "fifth week" during the year! You will get to peek into the design team's craft spaces and see how they manage to "contain" their hoarded supplies! 

Plus you will have the opportunity to share your own storage solutions, tips, ideas, etc., by linking up to the Link Tool HERE! One RANDOM WINNER for March will win this prize:




Today is my day to share how I organize my hoard with you! Like the majority of crafters, my most hoarded item is patterned paper. I admit...I am a paper addict. I used to just keep all of my paper in plastic bins by collection, and still do have a TON organized like that, but since I discovered these awesome scrapbook shelves, I feel so much more organized!! I can see what I have right in front of me and actually use up collections that I may have forgotten about if they weren't stored this way.








If only I had a huge room to hold lots more of these!!!

I also hoard Washi tape, enamel dots and Flair. LOVE'em all but I don't really have a great way of organizing any of them. My washi tape is in a big glass container. While they look pretty on my desk, it is a pain when I want one from the bottom of the jar! :/




I store my flair and enamel dots in baskets that sit right next to my desk within easy grasp!



I look forward to checking out all of the link ups to come up with some great organization ideas from you!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend!!

I love your space! So much light coming through. Now those shelves are amazing and I would love to have a couple. But what impressed me the most.....it looked like you just cleaned. Very neat and tidy!

I think it is fun to see how our work spaces reflect our crafting style...your room is light and bright with clean and simple lines. So is your work...cool, right? Love those shelves...what a great solution!

I also LOVE the shelves! Please post where you got them. Washi tape is hard. I have a bucket and a box full of them. I saw a blog posting recently where the artist used antique recipe card holders (they look like a dowel sticking out of a rounded, flat base) and she had put four to five rolls of washi tape on each dowel. You could certainly see how easy it would be to get to each roll. The hard part will be finding the antique recipe card holders. I think this blog was "Mish Mash".

What gorgeous shelves! Where did you get them? Love, love, love!

I too am in awe of those great paper storage shelves and would love to know where you found them! Your room is bright and cheerful. How wonderful to have so much natural light coming in. My room has a north facing window, so it tends to be dark. What about small loaf pans, spray painted in a color you like to line your washi's in. I use an enamelware pan for mine but I don't have as many as you. Thanks for sharing! Blessings~ Birgit
