Did anyone else see the free classes from Papercrafters Get Organized? It was a weekend long on videos of people giving tips and showing how they organized. It covered lots of topics and paper crafts. They had an option to purchase a lifetime access but I didn't. I got a few tips I can use but mostly it motivated me to tackle the next area of my craft room. I'm tired of not being able to find things..... How about you? What do you need to organize? Craft? Home? You name it!

I heard about it but declined to participate.
Several things I've done to help my organization, which really for me means having things close by and within eyesight or reach to use.
1) I made a book for ephemera. It sits on my table and I can look through it easily when I'm looking for ephemera. It doesn't hold it all, and needs to be weeded out, but it's been really successful for me.
I bought a small short rolling cart at Michael's. It fits under my craft table. It holds most of my inks, daubbers, bakers twine, fabric scraps, stamp blocks, etc. Again, many things are at my finger tips. On one shelf of that cart holds several small clear-ish containers 4-1/2" x 3- 1/2 inches that holds labels, TH bits and bobs, handmade ephemera, etc. Again, often used ephemera.
Within arms reach I have another rolling cart with most of my tools, a couple circle punches (I don't have many).
I bought zippered plastic holders, about 9x11 that holds most used stamps, TH people, cork fabric remnants, etc
It works.for me. It was.a.long time developing. I now use the ephemera and tools I have because it's close.
In the closet I have a few storage containers well marked. Recently I used some rub one and vellum. They were marked well enough for me to think about them and use them.
Organization is a personal preference imho. So many factors to consider.
Good luck!!!

Kathy those are some great tips too. I agree, organization is unique to each person's needs.
