I really need to organise my stuff!!! Its all in a kitchen cupboard at the minute, and when you open it stuff falls out!

I love the look of those boxes of kistos too and they are great if you have to put your craft stuff in rooms like dining rooms or sitting rooms, etc. BUT I have to say, I've put all my stuff in see-through stackable plastic boxes because I like to see at a glance what I've got without having to open all the boxes (I should point out that I've got a memory like a fish and MOUNTAINS of stuff! ) My next plan is to put LABELS on all my clear boxes too. Sounds quite organised so why am I on the dining room table now surrounded by loads of craft stuff not in boxes yet and we have been eating in the sitting room with trays on our laps? :rotfl:

qwiksave - something I keep meaning to do.........have thorough sort out and put stuff thats similar colour in cellophane packets so I can see at a glance what I've got. Did keep Christmas stuff separate but that seems to have spilled over with the rest !! On my 'must do' list along with the mountain of others................lol

I use those plastic containers from take-aways for my ribbons, pens, glitter, ink pads etc and have them all stacked in my desk drawer.

Cards are looking great, everyone!!

Not terribly MSE as they are quite expensive but I use Really Useful Boxes to store my craft stuff. I've also got a set of plastic drawers which I keep bigger things like tools in. The boxes are great though, nice and solid and they stack together securely. Since they are clear I can see what is in them too, although I'm not very well organised so it is just a multi-coloured jumble!

I got a good tip from a girl who owns a craft shop; she said that if you're into scrapbooking and need to store your 12x12 papers to go to the pizza shop and buy a 12" pizza box off them. She had loads of them and kept a different colour scheme in each box and painted the colour on the front so she could always find the colour she wanted quickly!
