Super organized or not ????

It's a crazy system that only I know. To the average person I'm sure it looks like an unorganized mess but 98.5% of the time I can quickly find what I need - even if it is something that I haven't used in a million years.

Not at all, why would how you organize your space bother me  

I'm organized with a lot of things BUT I have a horrible time cleaning up. So then I end up making piles until I clean and put away again. I have a really hard time putting stuff away so my room never gets 100% clean. But what it put away is organized, labeled and works really well for me.

My stamps are organized by theme, labeled and in clear envies (Jennifer McGuire style), my Cricut cartridges are labeled and in Really Useful Boxes, my cardstock is by color, my embellishments are by color. My Copics and inks all have their own spot as does my adhesives. I do have all Christmas together separate from everything else.

Everything always sounds nice and neat, but then I have my piles. But I can find what I want/need IF it's been put away. It's what I haven't put away that messes me up <sigh>

My organisation system sounds remarkably like yours cannmom. I have like products grouped together but not much organisation beyond that. My brads and cardstock are sorted by colour but everything else just lives happily with similar products. My patterned paper has no organisation and I love it that way.

ME Too!! Me Too! No matter how many time after I clean it, I emphatically say this time I'm going to clean up after each project! It works for a few projects and then I falter.

My organization style is by type as well. Brads/eyelets, some ribbon, my scraps, and cardstock are by color. My pattern paper is either by type (vellum prints, acetate prints, wood look, polka dots, etc.) or mood (feminine, masculine, vibrant/playful, office/school, etc.) unless it's a collection. Washi was in a tin that I tried to keep by color it didn't work and now it's in a bigger tin jumbled. I really need to organize my stamps. It's on my hope to do sometime soon list.

I'm pretty organized, things are labeled and sorted and my room is by zones, stamping, inks, paper, dies, etc ....I am messy while I'm scrapping but I clean up after each session....it's just how it works for me...

I'm on the extreme end of organized. All my papers are sorted by theme or collection. All the embellishments are sorted in Iris boxes by theme. I keep them with collections until the collection is mostly used up, then into an Iris box.

I have leftovers sorted by color in small, clear boxes. I often cut apart sticker sheets/chipboard when the sheet is mostly used up and then place in the boxes by color.

I have to clean up after each layout or I'll lose my mind!

Not really. I keep like things together and know where to go for what I'm looking for but there is a certain amount of flipping through items I need to do.

I am fine with my loosely organized system as well.  It's pretty easy to find something and quick to put things back.  

Whew, glad to meet another! Most of the time I'm ok with my lack of cleaning up gene. But every so often I'll beat myself up over it 

I think I'd fall into the OCD category. My cardstock is arranged by color, my patterned papers are by type, color (generic prints), brand (for favorite brands), or theme. My misc supplies are in drawers by theme, and I have one set of drawers for non-themed color sorted. I have jars for buttons, veneers, brads, glitzy brads, leftover sequins, etc., drawers for specific supplies by type--colored pencils, colored typewriter ribbons, distressing, watercolors, etc. I start with a clean desk or I go nuts, and I clean up between projects. When I'm too lazy to clean up, I have a small tray under my desk (out of sight) that I shove the loose stuff in until I'm having a day I don't feel like scrapping, but I do want to be in my room, then I sort and re-organize. I have 2 bowls on my desk, one for loose/lost die cuts, one for loose/lost metal/ribbon/rhinestones etc. That's about as much "random" as I can handle. I have everything labeled, and generally know where everything is.

Honestly, I'm jealous of the people that can "loosely organize", because when I feel like things are out of place, it's disabling, and I can't work around the chaos. If I don't clean up, I won't start a new project until I DO clean up, and I won't work no matter how much I feel like it.

I would say I'm pretty organized. I have a tons of supplies. everything is grouped with their own kind. anything that can be sorted by color, is. papers are by manufacturer.  solid cardstock is separate from printed paper and is sorted by color. I love spinning caddies and store lots of my tools on my desk on those.

In the past I was very organized when it came to scrapbooking. I would take out everything I needed for one layout and methodically put it back right after use. I was so organized (for lack of a better word) and would clean up after every layout. Then I would start the process all over again. It worked out well for me that way.

All bets are off right now, though.

Me too. After scrapping for nearly 20 years, I know how my brain thinks when looking for supplies and so my "system" is based on that. And yes, it is organized; and my space is neat and tidy (even if my desk isn't....I often leave projects I'm working on out) 99% of the time.
