Hi Laurette, Great tips for organizing craft projects. I like things to be really organized, too. I don’t want to spend all my time looking for things. Unfortunately every time I make a journal there is a point when my entire desk looks like a hurricane hit it! I’ll keep trying! Thanks for the tips!
Hi Laurette!! Yup....I use the baskets alot too for storage!! They have such pretty ones out there now in different pastel colors and sizes and shapes!! I get most of mine from our Dollarama store!! I'm in the process of trying to get my craft room completely sorted our and set up the way I want it!! I still work full time and travel 30 minutes to work and from work each day so by the time I get home and have dinner, the day is almost done!! I've taken this coming Monday and Tuesday as vacation days so that I can make a big dent in getting myself back to a point where I can start to craft again!! My Dad turns 90 on Tuesday and is in a Seniors Residence so I took Tuesday off so I could go and spend a good part of the day with him!! I think I've blabbed enough now!! LOL TFS my friend!! Hugs, Liz:)
Wow!!! Thank you so much for this video Laurette! As a young junk journaler this has been super helpful and given me tons of inspiration for ways to organise my bits and pieces. Now to save up for a target spree!! 😂
Thank you! I have them stored in long narrow clear trays, used to store silverware, I get them at target. I can show them in a video if you plan to watch any other videos of mine. Let me know.
I am so excited to have found you. I was just watching a video from Gayle and she showed beautiful items that you sent her your work is beautiful and now it’s my turn to go shopping in the store. Thank you for all your hard work.
You have great organizational skills! I try to control my spending so I keep my sku count down. Can you tell I worked at Walmart almost 30 years? Ha ha. And a third of that in Fabrics & Crafts. I am trying to do what you stated in early January. I'm gonna shop my stash. But it's hard not to want new pretties!!
Thank you so much! So hard not to want ALL the pretties! Shopping the stash has been fun but a challenge! I swear my paper crafting room keeps getting smaller no matter how much I organize it! Lol! 😀
Love Love your storage ideas!! I have many containers and baskets myself for organizing. Love the CD ideas for the digitals. The plastic snap ones for digitals are the best! I love mine! You should try and have an Amazon list of your favorites. Have a wonderful weekend 🤗 Love you❣️💐
You have some good ideas on ways to organize and store crafting supplies. My supplies are in total disarray. I plan to use some of your ideas to help me get more organized. I especially like the use of the Target baskets and CD pouches. Thanks so much for sharing. It has been extremely helpful.
Thank you so much! I am really pleased this was helpful to you! Just dive in… Target is a fabulous resource for storage pieces and not crazy expensive. There are great deals this time of year and during back to collage or school sales. Go for it!
You have a great Organizational skills Laurette! The common theme I see my friend is lots and lots and lots of pinks, lol! I am sitting here drooling over your shabby pink baskets full of a lot of pinkiesh yummies! You made me laugh when you said you have a cat issue! OMG, my son brought his Russian Gray "Maverick" with him and he is a youngster as opposed to my Daisy. He wakes us up at night racing across the rooms, lol! He is also a teaser; he doesn't let me hold him unless he is in a deep sleep then I can get my kisses from him. Hugs...
I just saw this. Laurette, you are so amazing and creative in ways to store our stuff. I just started journaling so my stuff is in hurricane form always. But thank you for sharing your beautiful way to store. It’s an art in itself.
I recently gave up my craft room to my son that needed to move back home. A lot of my stuff is packed and what isn’t is a hot mess in my living room. I think the plastic cd envelopes would be super helpful for me right now. Thank you for sharing all of this. Always helpful to see how others do things
Love the ideas! Just starting out so this was great to organize from the beginning!!! Thank you for sharing! If you have time would love a video of your whole workspace, since you just organized to help me out further! I’m disabled and come from an encaustic background that I no longer can do. This was my options that I could try to do! Thanks a lot, If you have any tips for a beginner I would love to know, Dawn
Thanks for sharing your ideas for organizing. I use all the plastic envelopes and cd envelopes already but the boxes they are in are a wonderful ideas. I know just what I need to do - head over to Target Pronto. Thanks again
Thanks so much! Off to Target you go! Look in the bath and kitchen department for ways to store your pouches. Have fun and think out of the box. Enjoy!
Great ideas especially with the larger bins for holding all the digitals in plastic envelopes. It keeps everything together so you know where to access.. but it does not stop the hoarding! I need to use up my stuff now and not keep buying!!
Hello Laurette, great video on your organization of supplies. I have a cat situation too, they love the caps from the glue and anything shiny is fair game to them. Have a wonderful evening.
Hi there Laurette just found your channel, I love the way you organize all your paper and ephemera. Looking forward to all your video's. Thanks for sharing!
Hello Anna! So thrilled you found me, welcome to my channel! I hope you enjoy my projects and all the chats. See you soon, I usually put up three videos a week. 🌸😊🌸
Thanks so much for sharing Laurette! It's amazing the storage envelopes available on Amazon so reasonably priced. My two cays are the biggest obstacles to my organization. They like to clear shelves as fast as I organized them. They're so naughty! 😕 so I need to go to more closed storage so if they knock it down it's not a big mess!
Thanks for sharing your storage. I am about 2 years into this craft. So I am just figuring out what works best for my tiny area! Love how you store in the bags. I need to order the CD bags. Hugs
Hello came over from 507WHJ. Such great organization ideas some I use some you have shown me how to use even better! I see re organization in my future 😊 tfs
Thanks for sharing. I do some of the same things, but I also picked up some pointers from you today. I love my project cart….and my other 3 carts..lol.
Thank you so much! I have 6 rolling carts in that room but most of them I don’t move around at all… lol! They are so great for storage and organizing. You are in good company with the carts! Lol!
Hello my sweet friend, wow it looks like great minds think alike. You store & organize like me. That’s what I’m still in the process of doing it,lol! Thank you for the video! Hope you & your family are doing well,take care 🤗🌻❤️🙏
Hi Laurette! Great storage ideas. I’ve been getting my plastic storage file folders from the dollar store for my digitals, however due to you know what they’ve been out of stock, gonna have to get on Amazon so thanks for sharing the info where you purchase your storage items. Have a wonderful weekend! 👍😻❄️❄️❄️
I have tons of organizing bins and trays and bowls I picked up at the dollar tree and now.... I stare into my craft room and backout as I shit the door 😂 I'm prepared to get organized but am sooooo overwhelmed. Thanks for the tips. Maybe I'll just jump in and start with one spot.
That is exactly what I do, start in one tiny spot and it will go from there. It took me a month of looking at my mess before I just jumped in then I couldn’t seem to stop… lol! Put away something you know already has a home and it should kick start the rest. Good luck, let me know how it goes! Go for it! You can do this! 🎉🎉🎉
Wow, Laurette, you are one super organized paper girl! Thanks for sharing all your good ideas. You showed several boxes and bins that sit on your desk; makes me wonder how big is your desk? And where do you keep your cutters and score boards so that you can grab them easily?
Thank you so much! My work desk is 4’ x 6’ and was a dining table. My cutters and scoreboards sit on the floor on my right side in a basket for easy access, they use to sit on one end if the table but I kept knocking them off of it. 😬 I did show them in their basket in a couple of videos back. 😊😊😊
I really enjoy, seeing your storage ideas. Would you mind sharing, where you get the buttons for the cd envelopes. Also are they just glued on? And I would love for you to share the types of notes you add on your projects. I think alot of us need to be better organized and might really benefit for ideas on writing the notes you clip onto projects.
The buttons are snap on buttons, I have a video showing the process. They are put on using a special tool. I got the set on Amazon. LYNDA 12mm plastic Snaps.
I’m a dollar tree plastic bin collector, by size Extra large/large/medium/regular/small/tiny-mini... then I get into color coding. But no where close to yours. Brilliant gurl
Hi Karen! The buttons on the smaller CD sleeves I added, I have a video showing how. On the bigger envelopes, they actually come that way. The buttons as I called them are really plastic snaps. There is a plastic snap kit with the tools on Amazon. Hope that was helpful for you. Always happy to help!
Hello Laurette, Would you share a link to where you got the large plastic folders as well as the plastic snaps. Also, I tried to find the video you did showing how you attached the plastic snaps on the smaller folders. Could you also link that? thank you
I sorry I don’t have any links for you but the plastic envelopes are on Amazon. I am not very good with technology so I don’t know how to do links at the time. 😊

I have several videos of my whole studio.
A pot lid rack is perfect to sit on your desk to hold the plastic folders. Stores vertical and easy to pull in and out.
I have close to 200 clear folders and no room on my desk🌸… lol! 😊
