I FINALLY got my 2 more PAX wardrobe units for The Harmony Hut,  .....I had to wait over 6 months until they were restocked...I had 2 and wanted 2 more to match and finally finish my room. Now the million hours of resorting everything has to happen....but I am happy to finally get them. I purchased 8 shelves to go on each unit and am determined to get my room in order....after all, it's only been a little over a year of having it built, my dh asked me what I wanted for our 40th wedding anniversary, and I told him a crafting/hobby studio.....it's a huge work in progress.  |

Just paper & adhesive, as they are about 95% of all that I buy for my craft space. |

Epson Ecotank 8500. GAME CHANGER. Print quality is top notch, that extra photo black ink is everything. I'm a photo snob, previously would only use professional labs or Persnickety.

So a PL card organizer from SB.com had been on my wish list for a long while, along with the dividers they sell. But a while back I ended up buying a clear 7x9 container from Target's Bullseye section for $5. All my cards fit perfectly, with no space to spare, which is good because I do not want to collect any more.
So the new thing is this past weekend I got white vinyl school folders on sale at Target and cut them up and made my own dividers. Every thing fits perfect and now it is organized and labeled! And I got it for cheaper and no shipping fees either. Yay me!

The newest thing in my scrapbook room is...my scrapbook room itself!  4 pale blue walls, 3 windows with good light, a ceiling fan (yay) and a bigger closet - all new to me. We just moved into the new house and I have a million boxes and cartons to unpack before I can play, but most of the furniture is in place and just ready and waiting for me to have time to put everything away. The Kallax fits great and I have a new-to-me bookshelf that we re-purposed from a hallway in the old house, plus my existing storage units. Unfortunately, there are about a million boxes in the other rooms of the house that need to be dealt with before I can get to unpacking all my crafting stuff. I'm back to work on Friday, too, which also means I have to finish unpacking my new WFH office. |

scrappinwithoutpeas That is so exciting! I moved 2 years ago and for the first time have my own space. I love it. I hope you make time to get your space set up soon. As I unpacked, it felt like Christmas as I rediscovered lots of my supplies.

My newest addition is arriving today: a new & improved Spellbinder’s Platinum 6 six inch platform. I just bought the Platinum Scout little machine to take to retreats and really loved how it folds up so neatly. Super easy to use as well. Cuts like a dream. The 6 will replace my Big Shot which will be donated. I’ve been on a slight freeze except for staples like stamps, dies, etc….I’ll have to jump back into the freezer after these two purchases.

I received my Silhouette Cameo 5 and I absolutely love it! Much quieter than my old one. I have been one of the lucky ones that has not had trouble with my silhouette software, my library syncs, and I have all my designs.  |

I recently bought some new things. I bought a light blue metal cupboard that is waist high it has my Minc machine and Tim Holtz Vagabond on the top and all my dies and Minc supplies stored in the cupboard.
I bought an orange manicure desk but I am using it as my sewing machine desk. And I bought a tall cabinet with multi colored drawers for storage on clearance at Hobby Lobby it's about 5 feet tall. I am trying to get my room organized and I wanted an eclectic colorful look.

A new glue applicator. The handle broke off my last EZ Runner Grand. Still had refills, so I picked up another gun.

I don’t like to buy much in the way of new plastic storage but I just got a couple of little organizer boxes to hold my ink blending foams. It’s got perfectly sized little compartments and I plan to add a color sample and name.

My Anna Griffin Empress. Which was last year. A few decades of stock piling and you just can't buy as much.  Though my craftroom is also my video gaming room. So my Geek corner is above my crafting area. Newest thing would be the Funko Bitty Pop! collection of Lord of the Rings.  |

I think the last studio-related thing that's come in was several months ago and it was what turned out to be a really great chair I found on Amazon:  |

wordfish I love the look of that chair. You have inspired something for my Christmas list! I currently have a hard plastic Ikea stool with a back on it. Not comfy at all - even the foot rest area is thin so I have to wear shoes which doesn't equal comfort.

I've just added a bunch of Obed Marshall embellishments that I found in the $1 bin at JoAnn. A more permanent item is this Doodlebug sticker frame I made. Copied their shadowbox kit idea, but with an 8x8 frame. Needed a way to showcase that adorable glue gun with a face!  |

I don't have any exciting new purchases - a few sheets of Shimelle's new collection "Reasons to Smile" & Carta Bella's "Roll with It". Oh and a few sheets of Bella Blvd. alphabet stickers.

It’s got perfectly sized little compartments and I plan to add a color sample and name. Last year I watched someone on YT use round bead containers with lids, which were then contained in another clear container. I really like the idea, but knew I would not want to be opening up the round containers, so I bought just the clear divided bead box. They hold my blender foams so well, I like it so much! I used to use clear snack bags. |

I used to use clear snack bags. Oh yeah, no, I definitely wouldn't want to fuss with containers within containers either! It sounds like you got something similar to what I got. I was going to ask here for recommendations and then realized that amazon would be full of divided bead containers that would work. I don't use foam blenders much anyway so I didn't need anything fancy. |

Tall chair in light blueIt says it is $149.99 right now; I got it when it was on sale for $119.99. It is tall, so not desk height. I've been very pleased at the quality and it looks great in the room. |

A crap load of happy planner stickers I’m trying to hide until dh leaves for a car race.
Then I will incorporate them into my other ones!

The newest physical item in my space is a bunch of new Nuvo drops (25 of them!) thanks to a really good sale on at one of my favourite online stores.
But the newest 'thing' is starting to catalog my stash on Airtable - starting with stamps, dies, hot foil plates and embossing folders.
