Getting my organise on!

So I decided to address the issue that has become 'the craft desk'. Note that I didn't say 'my'. I am jealous of those of you that can say that. Although it does mean I have someone else I can blame for this:

Yes it may be a real health and safety issue...

I just thought I'd start with the drawer and then it just spiraled from there.

So i started by clearing out the drawer.

And you can't say housewives don't get compensated for their work...

Yes that's five whole pence!

Then I got a cutlery organiser from Ikea (is there any other way to organise?!), and popped it in nice and clean.

And while I was filling it discovered that I have more foam pads than anyone humanly needs.

I may have found a sale where they were 10p each! Booyah!

Then took some plain file boxes my mother in law had saved from work.

Note that I had to put scrapbook paper on top of them so you could see where they were. They are THAT good at camouflaging with my work top. Useful for when we have burglars who want to steal my top secret craft ideas. But not-so-pretty. So... 

I may love them a little too much...in fact my sister questioned whether I love them more than my kids. (That was an awkward silence...)

I'm so pleased with the end result (apart from the neglect of a fore mentioned children whilst doing this).

Yes that's a rather classy looking Morrisons bag. Filled with cut up ties (pretty sure my husband is aware of this bag...). Okay I'll finish with a prettier picture.

And of course another of the boxes I love so much...

And for the record Flash are not sponsoring this post. That's what I was supposed to be using instead of hot gluing paper onto files.
