Pinkladymel - That is amazing! I want to come and live in your house

Siren - That's really useful, I could do with one of those, or maybe two;)

Polly - please post pics

If I show dh this thread he won't let me on the PC anymore, he's moaning now at all the bags of stuff I have since I found you girls and there is still so much I want to do

I am so jealous would love that collection. Yelled on OH to come through the house to see that pics. I started cardmaking yesterday and so far just have a carrier bag of bits. I would love that ribbons. :j

emay

Cool, I wanna come and play at that house!!!!!

Most of my stuff is on a very cheap bookcase behind my pc desk (which doubles as a craft table at one end), but is slowly extending it's way across on to the other units in the room)

found this in a mag earlier:

ok so the main pic just looks like paradise, but there are some ideas for smaller rooms in the blog

Thanks for the replies ladies.

And Mel, don't worry, you didn't steal the thread!

I love all those ribbons too - I think I like the idea of a wooden or a wicker chest, at least that would blend in with the rest of the lounge - lol

Not sure OH will agree though!

Hi Everyone

After spending an absolute fortune this past few weeks, I'm going to seriously have to find somewhere to store everything in.

Can I ask what everyone else does? At the moment, I use the dining room table when I'm working, then have to clear it all away, so what do you use to keep everything neat and tidy??

the entire house mines in the loft, wardrobe and in every room i could do with a seperate house just for me!
I have jut got some jumbo storage things from morrisons they are a black zipped box 91cm x50cm x45 so lightweight they fold to almost nothing and are quite a good size they are £1.99 each bogof at the min so a quid each are ideal for storig larger stuff.
I have massive stocks of towells and teddies so need large storage hope it helps some one they will also be ideal for craft fairs as you dont have any added weight

Thanks Sally x

I am a scrapbooker mainly and get sent some free stuff for appearing in magazines or promoting product. The scrapbooking market has a really quick turnover of product at the moment and everytime you buy a range of something they bring something else out that makes you want it all!!

If you think my room is great, you should try being in the scrapbooking community. My room is a shoddy piece of rubbish compared to them

Take this for example:
