do you scrap?

i don't but i joined a scrapbook list for organizing studios

some of them don't know what to do with me.... they keep forgetting i don't scrap

although i look at the studio's and rooms they do it in
and man they got a TON of stuff
much more then i got (and i got a TON of stuff)

there are whole FURNITURE lines devoted to STORAGE of scrapbooking supplies

wow
what a market share!!!!!!!!!!

ok anyway.......that being remarked upon, i will tell you they have given me some great ideas for how to store my stuff
although i don't have ink pads, stamps, or punches
and i don't have acres of 12''sq paper and card stock

i DO have 22X30 water color papers and illustration boards
i DO have bottles of inks, rapidograph and india, and also INKTENSE which are ink pencils and my new love
( i am lusting after the set of 72...... absolutely lusting)

so far i been cutting up the new water color paper, spliting the sheets into quarters and storing THEM in clamshells
i could use two more clam shells
so i can put the finished drawings in until i figure my book out again
plus i need to scan them as well

ok back to the scrap book rooms and what i can adapt to MY insanely disorganized studio

i realized i need a couple of rolling work surfaces and i need them NOW
i have come to an impass, which is...........
i have a revolving paint holder, and some tool trays that are lazy susans, plus cutting mats
i need a work surface to put them on
i have a drop leaf rolling cutting table for sewing but i need crafting surfaces
that right now is holding up clearing off the 7' standing workbench
which i am going to store fleece and fiber UNDER
and assorted supplies over in old repurposed kitchen cabinets, that will have to SIT on the work surface as i have no wall space

meanwhile due to the endless and seriously excessive rain the cabinets are growing fuzzy green stuff on them
no i am not kidding

oye

anyway
i just had to comment on the scrapbooking rooms
they are amazing, but i am going to resist as i simply do not have the room for any of that
i got enough stuff already
oye
BUT they are eye candy for sure

    I found it! I found it! http://hadesarrow.com/blog/2009/01/06/a-big-box-of-adhd/

    I have no idea if you'll like this or not, but I thought of it the other day when you talked about being on task, etc. I sort of liked it when I stumbled on it a while back.
