Do you love to organize as much as you love to papercraft? I do! My main hobbies: - Buying craft supplies
- Pretty papercrafting
- Organizing and labeling!
I get such a feeling of satisfaction. No, I don't like spending money on organizational stuff, but I enjoy it, so why not?
How about you?

I do like to organise - both scrapbooking stuff and in general. Not as keen on the cleaning (esp. dusting my nemesis) but there's just something about stuff being in order with everything in its place that I love

I am not an organizer. I am a piler. I wish this was a part of the hobby that I enjoyed.

I do like organizing, to an extent. Right now it's a bit overwhelming so I'm not as thrilled, lol. I'm also trying not to spend any money so that makes it more challenging. But it is satisfying to put inks into rainbow order, to make swatches, to put all of my sequins into cute little boxes, etc.

Yes.
Yes to all of the above. I can be an organizer. I like when everything is organized. I enjoy it. I am also a piler, I’ll pile stuff until I ‘get to it’ or until I find the way to organize that I’ve been looking for.
And since I’ve moved and everything is in one place I am overwhelmed by all the choices to store what where & how.
So yes to all of it.

I am very organized.
My favorite thing about scrapbooking is the actual process of putting the layout together, buying scrapbook products and looking through all of my completed scrapbooks(I love reminiscing).

I wouldn’t say I love organizing, but I like the puzzle aspect of it. Figuring out where everything belongs and how to best display/organize it so that it’s easy to find, uses as little space as possible, and looks neat and tidy.
I don’t think you have to spend a lot to be organized. You can use items you already have lying around, like mismatched baskets or even shoeboxes.

I love both creating and organizing. I bought a kit for Alaska that has 14 pages. Did those in two days and then rewarded myself by buying two dorm mirrors and magnetic vent covers and then reorganized my metal dies. I do like everything to look the same. I don't do the white craft room, but still like it to look pleasing and work for my style of creating. Earlier this week I bought a bag of random embroidery floss. Been having a good time organizing it all, but it is too much. Couldn't pass up the $10 price and it had other embroidery thread for an embroidery machine I gave to my DIL.  |

I love to organize. It gives me a thrill to find stuff quickly. I also like to make a big mess.

Like you, sometimes I'm uncertain whether scrapping or organizing is my primary hobby!

Yes! I love to organize and to get boxes of scrappy stuff delivered. Even better, if I can get to a store, which I am today. Watch out, Crafts Direct! I love to organize my whole house. |

FurryP, this question is making me be honest with myself.  It seems that I do like to have an organized workspace, but I really don't like organizing. It's sort of a soul-sucking process for me. I have been trying to find more "accessible" ways to keep supplies in better order but it's such a slow process for me because I really don't enjoy it. Maybe this comes from working for so many years in a storage warehouse where everything had to be in total order. Whatever the reason, I get slowed down in my scrapbooking because of dis-organization and I need to make myself improve in this area.

 These are also my main hobbies. While I am not necessarily an organized person overall, I do love to organize my scrapbook stuff. Sometimes it can get a bit overwhelming when my supplies exceed my storage (working on that), but I consider it visiting my supplies. It's fun to get reacquainted with all of it and see different things that work together. It can be very inspiring.

While I would like to have most everything in my house organized/ labeled, it is kind of impossible when you live with someone that doesn't have the same mind frame. But in my craft room everything is mine and I have complete control over it. But I am working on purging as much as I can mentally let go of, so it is getting a makeover eventually. |

I love to organize! My closet, my kitchen, my hutch, the garage, my kitchen cart...
Even when I help bag groceries!
