I bought refills for my tombow adhesive applicator....you think I could find it? Of course not, because I did not put it back where it belongs. I really don't remember what I was creating when I used it last. However, in my search I noticed one of my distress reinkers tipped over and leaked. Not only do I have an eraser, a marker and some various other items sitting in a puddle, it seeped under the glass on my desk. I'm dreading the cleanup...I keep hoping it will just dry up.
I really need to get organized!

I relate. I often wonder how I can misplace something I had a minute ago at my desk. I still don't know how, but I seem to manage it.

This is why I have 4 pairs of scissors and who knows how many black pens.

Well, I did find the tape dispenser...it was in the box with the refills??? I just happen to find it because I knocked over the box and everything fell out. I really need to save my pennies so I can buy an "original scrapbox" and maybe have all my stuff in one location!

For me, when I am not able to find something because I am not putting it away that means one of two things are happening. 1) I am depressed and/or 2) My storage solution doesn't work for me. I *love* drawers for this purpose because I can grab and put away very easily one handed. And a spinning tool organizer with my most often used tools on my desk. Sometimes when I am working things will get lost under the paper I am currently using, but I'm pretty good at cleaning up as I go and at the end of each session so it doesn't get too bad.
eta: if I find myself not able to immediately find a particular item regularly then I change where I was keeping it to the first place I have been looking for it.

If I lose something, I spend way too much time looking for it. On the other hand, I have had lots of things show up that I didn't remember buying. The most recent was a small box of Milk Duds. Sure they are a little old, but a good scrappy treat.

I lose things as I'm using them.
Seriously, my table becomes a massive messy pile so fast. I have to clean up half way because I get so frustrated trying to find what I was just using!
