Organizing Poll

My biggest challenge is storing leftover kit items. I am madly in love with kits and use most of them up but always have a few leftovers. If I had a professional organizer I would explain what I absolutely use the most of and need at my disposal. The rest……go for it! lol

Time and motivation. I'm always feel motivated when I don't have the time, and I don't have any motivation when I do have some time. When I have a block of time when I could work on it, I would much rather spend that time scrapping because I have a lot of projects I want to work on. The problem with that is if I would spend some of my (limited) time organizing my mess, the time I do spend scrapbooking would be a lot more productive.

I will say things are somewhat better now but I have a lot of tweaking to do. I have a lot of stuff lumped into general categories and those bins of stuff need some fine tuning. At least I kind of know what I have and I kind of know where things are now so I am pointed in the right direction at this point!

I think a professional organizer would probably be able to show me some storage options that might work for my space. I have cabinets and shelving (finally) but haven't really had the time to go through and figure out the best places for things to go so they fit in the space and make the most sense for how I work.

ETA: I also have a big pile of stuff to sell and haven't taken the time to get it all prepped and priced to sell, but I have a few months to go before it needs to be done.

My biggest challenge is stickers, die cuts, and journaling/PL cards that are really just decorative - basically anything that is flat. I know I work best when my stuff is stored by type but I'm yet to crack the best way to sort these out. At the moment I have them sorted by all PL cards together, all smaller stickers/die cuts that have words or phrases, and all other stickers/die cuts. In theory this works because I'm usually looking for something with words or something without but I'm finding that I have a lot (for me) of those products that I'm just not even looking at which means they never get used.

My other challenge is what to do with all my albums. They don't fit in my office/scrapping space and I just don't know where to put them.

If I had a professional organiser I'd ask them to help me look at my space with fresh eyes so I can see how to fix the above two problems!

Trying to get the stuff I don't want photographed to sell. I really need to get moving on this because my room is driving me nuts right now!

I don't see my desire to hoard all of my various crafting endeavor items as a problem, I see my lack of space to organize and store it how I'd like as the problem. So basically, my lack of money is the real issue. lol.

But irl, I think I have a few areas that could be improved upon. PL cards. They're in a box with a lid. I don't do lids very well - too much of a hassle to get to. And my stickers, labels, tags, rub-ons, quotes, and other flat items could be tweaked. I don't feel like they're being used appropriately and to their full potential.

My organizing issue is with memorabilia. Kid's mostly. I am trying to photo and ditch the originals for some of the bigger pieces (posters from theatre performances, for example). but i just want to stuff it all in a box and scrap!!!

My biggest challenge is that I still have way too much. Even after a major purge that saw 60% of my 12x12 paper, 80% of my punches, 30% of my inks, 30% of my stamps, 100% of my ribbon and buttons, 60% of my 6x6 pads, 25% of my PL, 70% of my embellishments, etc. go out the door, my stash still exceeds the amount of space I want to dedicate to it. What I kept is pretty nicely organized and I can fairly quickly find what I'm looking for. I will use it, assuming I live long enough! I use 12x12 Iris boxes for most of my paper, punches and embellishments and organize by occasion - Christmas, birthday, kids, valentines day, etc. Stamps and dies are in Avery Elle pockets and stored in Fridge Binz by manufacturer.

I think right now I need help with the heavy lifting - someone to put together my Ikea bookshelves and position them. someone to carry the remainder of the boxes out, etc.

If I had to wait to sell things I would not be as far along as I am now. With a few minor exceptions, everything has been donated and raised money for a good cause.

My biggest challenge is finding a system that works for me. I have tried several, sorting my brands, types or colors, etc. but have yet to find a good system. It's difficult to find the amount of time to really organize everything.
I would just like a professional organizer long enough to give a fresh set of eyes and ideas.

I think my biggest challenge is getting the best furniture/organisation for my space. It would be great to have someone come in and give advice about that.

I take the donation route too. By the time I sort, I don't want to make time to deal with the selling. If my hobby was tennis or movie-going, I would have spent as much but wouldn't have the material goods hanging around. If it was tennis, I wouldn't have the extra pounds either, but that's another conversation.

My organizing challenge is two-fold. I want all my art, drafting and craft supplies organized in the same room. And I do not want it to look like a craft store, or even like a craft room.
