Thanks for taking the time to view my craft space.  I hope you were inspired and found something that will help organize you more efficiently.  I'm always striving to make things better.  My favorite store to shop in is a "Thrift Store", you can always find great things to make into great organizational tools.  Most of my purchases are from Ben Franklin, Michael's, Paper Zone, Container Store and IKEA. Happy Scrapbooking.
