I am so glad I am not the only one stressed about this hobby! I absolutely love scrapbooking and the layouts I make, but it will be so much easier when I have my own space again. joblackford and @ausiemeg thank you for your sweet comments! I am 100% a couch scrapbooker these days! I asked my parents for a We Are Makers Lap Desk Kit for Christmas.

My fiancé and I moved in together three years ago and our blended family required me to give up my craft studio. I have zero regrets (we love each other and our big, blended family!), but I do miss my studio. I took over the big hall closet and keep all my newest product, a few boxes of tools, my newest {Not} Just For Boys kits, and other random things in there, but most of my supplies are in a storage shelving system he built in the garage. I also stash some things in our closet, a few things in the table at the end of our bed (the top opens), and some things in our tv console. I've turned into a squirrel, hiding my scrapbooking supplies all over the house! Of course, this system of chaos will be short lived. Our kids will be grown and gone in a few years, and we both agreed the first priority is to turn one of the bedrooms into a craft room for me (yay!). Until then, I am completely overwhelmed with my stash! I also don't have a system for storing my albums (they, too, are stashed all over my house), or printing/organizing my photos. I'm sure once I have a craft room again, I can get myself organized, but until then, I have a love/hate relationship with my supplies! I try not to worry too much about my hobby and I know once I have a craft room again, I will get myself organized, but until then.... ahhhhhhh! I used to scrap on the floor in the hallway with most of my stuff stored in our linen closet. I had a room, briefly when we moved but lost it due to kids no longer being able to share a room without killing each other, then I had a corner, then a different corner, then upstairs, then back downstairs, I now have a corner crammed between a fireplace and our guinea pig cage (so drafty and with random bits of hay). Hang in there!
