1. A clean-up crew.
2. Shelves put in the closet for more storage.

I'd love a craft room, or even a partial space that is mine that all my stuff could live in. Currently, my stuff is in bins in DH's and my closet, and when I scrap, I have to carry all or some of it out to the dining room table. It's a pain. I recently realized that a cart or set of rolling drawers would be a good option so that more of it is more portable. I haven't had the time to go looking for anything yet, nor the budget, but I'm hoping in a few more months to be able to do so. I need better access to my paper, and also my embellishments. I tend to forget I have certain things because they're not easily accessed. M's has a rolling white cart that holds the large boxes (the ones larger than the Iris boxes). I think it holds 7. Mine stays in the closet, but I keep tons of stuff in it for the albums I am working on. |

Mine needs me to stop shopping! I have an okay sized room but it is so full of stuff. At least my kids use it.

My craft rooms need me to purge some, most, all of my out dated magazines! That would free up a bunch of shelf space. I've been a purge, organize and clean binge the last few weeks. I moved about 5 flat lid containers into smaller iris 16 qt drawers that stack. That way I just open a drawer instead of unstacking and moving stuff around to get to what I want. I also unmounted a bunch of stamps, and just found about 10 sets of foam mounted from my really early days of stamping. I need one more drawer to complete a stack. I've spent about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes every couple of days to work on really deep cleaning my room. I live in a the high desert and in the summer we leave windows open to cool down the house. Consequently the room gets very dusty! I need to clean off the top of one more desk and do some more purging of just stuff!

I just ordered the last of the bins I need for my cabinet - slowly been trying out different options and have finally settled on what works for me... When they arrive I think (hope), my room will be organized and tidy... Then I just need to take on the closet... It's not big, but I managed to cram it full of just about one of everything... It's the kind of thing that I don't see or have to go into often, but when I'm scrapping I know what's behind the door and it bugs me...lol

My space desperately needs for my DH to go elk hunting! My desk is a wreck and has been since late July. I've been so busy (out of town guests twice at the end of the summer, roadtrip out East for 10 days, DD getting engaged, work work work, etc) I haven't had both time and energy at the same time to do anything creative there, or to clear off my desk. If DH goes, I won't have to work (I work for him). And you know how it is when you're the only one home and can eat cereal, leftovers, whatever you want and not have to cook for everyone else. The house needs a good cleaning too, but I was able to get some stuff done yesterday and got a lot of big things picked up. I need to come up with a daily schedule or list of things to do each day so I don't get sidetracked and forget what needs to be done. I also have a big box full of old photos that need to be reorganized, so maybe once DH leaves I can spread those out on the dining room table as a work in progress while he's away.

My scrap space is currently in limbo. We're in the process of moving to a new state and everything is inaccessible at the moment.
I'm going to have a 14x13 room in our new house. I am so excited! There is no closet so I'm looking at storage options.
I'm going to start with 2 of the ikea kallax (old expedit) shelves. I need a new filing cabinet and desk, but I can use my old ones until I have the money for new ones. I'd also like to get a comfy chair and side table at some point.
As I unpack all my stuff, I'm going to purge and organize. I'm super excited and can't wait to get back to some scrapping. We've been in limbo since July.

I need to get rid of the open shelving I have. No matter what I do the room still looks like a chaotic mess. I prefer to have things behind doors. I'll have to wait a bit for that to happen.....

I need to stop using my desk at a catch all for everything, school information, sports schedules, permission slips etc etc etc. Everything goes in my planner so those papers do need to go onto the desk but they need to get back off of it. General constant decluttering is not my strength.

I just did a redo of my room recently and was able to do everything I wanted to do to make it what I need. The only 2 additions I can think of are maybe a little larger TV and a very small table/shelf to put my iPod dock on. Other than that I'm pretty happy in my space.

It needs a good cleaning! I think it's in the worst shape it's ever been in.

Another 100 square feet. I have cleaned/purged/reorganized it to within an inch of it's life and I *still* have too much stuff. I need to have a soul-cleansing purge, an hour or two of therapy (to learn to let go), and a giant garbage bag (maybe one of those waster containers you can set up in your driveway and toss the sink into).
I have a full week off next week (like, actually SEVEN days in a row) and my big plans are to clean/purge/organize for a giant garage sale. DH are talking of retiring in about 3 years and have too much stuff and it weighs on my mind. Just the thought of moving/packing makes me slightly ill.

I need to stop procrastinating and put stuff away so I can actually scrap in there! I wish I had a bigger space that would accommodate a large table so friends could scrap with me. I drag everything out to the dining table when they come over. I've discovered I scrap better with friends rather than by myself. It's good to bounce ideas off them.

I would love a big desk with drawers. I use the dining table so I have all these ugly plastic drawers sitting on the table.
Then some decorating...fresh paint, some deco shelves, new light fixture.

I need letter sticker storage, and I don't have the room to organize them vertically.

I need to finish organizing - mainly my embellishments. I started and then got bored with it and decided to scrap instead  I also need to clean up a bit. There are several layouts piled up and a purge pile I need to do something with...and my desk has stuff all over it. I hate the clean up part! |

My scrap room needs a magic fairy that sprinkles scrapping sparkle dust that gets me motivated....right now it has the fairy that sprinkles procrastination dust......but the play fairy comes in a lot to distract me and I like her!!! She just enjoys...never has a plan, just plays with the toys....okay, maybe she's my favorite!!
Oh my - I seem to have issues!! LOL!

My room needs *ME* to actually go in there and create something! Some how nothing seems to get accomplished because I'm not doing anything. I've got to stop collecting supplies and get busy!

After months of construction, I finally HAVE a room! Now it needs paint and flooring before I figure out furniture and details of organization and get my stuff out of boxes. I can't wait, but with the amount of finish work we have to do, realistically it's probably going to be January before I can use the space

A second work table. I have a spare room I use for crafts and sewing and I have a comfy chair in there that I use to sit and knit, crochet, do hand sewing, and browse patterns and magazines. But I think I'm going to move it out and put in a second work table. I can sit and work on small projects in the living room or bedroom, but always end up running out of space on my work table.

Mine needs its maiden voyage! I got 99% moved in to my Workbox almost 2 months ago, but between getting a very nasty cold (a month-long doozy, not fun) and the psychotic schedule of October, I haven't used it yet.
After Halloween, I SWEAR I'm going to start opening her up on a regular basis!!!

Wherever you scrap, what does that space need right now? Mine needs stamp storage! They are a huge mess. And over-desk lighting!! And also a really good coffee maker A good but portable way to organize my letters for making titles. I have a ton in all different size packaging and my current system is a hot mess. In fact, just tonight I tried to tackle the problem with no luck. |

Magazine holders sound like a good idea, and I have a ton of them in my office that work was throwing out. They'd have to be covered with something to make them look decent. How do people cover mag holders and make them look so good? Is it wrapping paper, or do they decoupouge scrapbook paper? Who knows how to do this?

My mom covered ugly boxes in dictionary pages, using Mod Podge. They look great! |
