Wonderful new blog, Shopping Our Stash opened up with the basic premise to use up our stashes instead of constantly shopping. After getting a look-see at all my stuff, I'm certain (with the exception of my beloved Tombow adhesives that I simply WON'T do without) that I don't need to go shopping for quite some time. Shhh ... don't tell my husband. What he doesn't know won't hurt him.
I'm embarrassed to say - this is my crafting dungeon as of today. Normally I would have straightened up, but this is the real-deal. I guess I'm lucky in that I have 1/2 the basement to expand into, but I have cement walls on my unfinished side so I'm limited to these portable storage bins/drawers & stand alone shelves for now. We just had carpeting installed in the finished 1/2 so alot of extras have ended up over in my territory til I reorganize. Even with the entire 1/2 of the basement, you can see I've boxed myself in so that the majority of my supplies are within reach. All I have to do is spin around in the chair & I have nearly everything I need right at my fingertips.

These are my miscellaneous stamps and accessories - it's 4 drawer-sets hooked together with a shoe shelf sittig on top (bowing fromt he weight of the punches, lol). I think I must have about 10 of them scattered here & there around me.
Here is looking over to the right of my desk at my Stampin Up shelves (table full of misc is blocking entire view) ... the L shaped set of bookcases are stacked full of SU sets. The 3-cabinets underneath the blue shelves is full of stuff I use, too. This table is the current bane of my existence, but since school just got out last week, I haven't had the inclination to sort - Having more fun getting back into stamping. I figure a re-sort of my area is going to be my interim project before summer session starts up, and that's only one class, so I'm sure I'll have it the way I want it pretty soon.
