This many! 30214214746154 by Mikk Lynn, on Flickr My DD had the movers calling me a hoarder, LOL. The L off the family room is my scrap area. Those boxes do not include my completed albums. Our contractor for many of our home improvements is also a friend of my husband's for years. When my husband showed him my craft room and made a comment about it being too much, my contractor smiled and said that as a professional AND a husband, he knows not to make a comment and just let people be who they want to be. And that it was so well organized. Smart guy. Wise words! I always tell DH that I could be out drinking in the bars!

I moved last year and all I can say is A LOT! The movers were joking about all the boxes and bins labeled “craft”.

Thats about how many I have right now for our move (tomorrow!!). Not counting finished albums. I think I will be able to work everything into my new space just fine ---- except the albums. I am kinda panicking about those right now and where they will go. Mine are stored on IKEA Expedit shelves in our storage room. There was no way they'd fit in my craft area. Good luck with your move. It's a lot of work. I hope you'll be really happy in your new home.

I think that I had about 40 in my last move. We just bought a house and I need to pack it all up again. I got some liquor boxes that are smaller than the "small" packing boxes because some boxes were just too full to lift. And I've learned to only put 2 Cropper Hopper Paper holders in the larger boxes and then fill them will smaller things. I'll use the liquor boxes for my die binders. It turns out that 12" of metal can get kind of heavy! I filled my boxes to a weight I thought wasn't too awful for the movers, then tucked in random lighter weight things, like paper towels, bath towels, whatever. It was a bit of a surprise every time I opened a box of paper! ETA - none of the filler items were things I would need immediately. My own bath towels were in their own box!
