MFT has a monthly feature we think you'll really enjoy. The My Favorite Things Design Team Creative Chat is a new monthly feature, where we are challenged to explore our creative spaces and share valuable organizational methods, tools, and shopping strategies with you. You'll be able to peek into our creative spaces, ask questions, and share your own ideas in the MFT forum. This month, we were asked the following questions:
Show us your desk. How do you have things set up, and why?
What are your "go-to" tools? Tell us what you can't live without.
Visit the MFT Blog for a full list of designers that have taken up the challenge and get ready to delve into the minds of our creative team!
We hope you'll find some organizational inspiration and look forward to seeing YOUR organizational methods. Please feel free to share pictures and answer the questions above.
What a fun challenge!!! And it made me clean up my desk a bit, LOL! Here's an overall picture of my desk space. I have lots more pictures and answers to the challenge questions on my blog HERE, and I can't WAIT to see everybody else's!
This is going to be such a fun hop! I can't wait to see how all the ladies set up their desks!
Here are a few quick pictures of my desk area. My post is filled with a ton of photos! You will learn more than you ever wanted to know about my desk! LOL You can read my blog post HERE.
Alrighty - I'm drooling already! Just call me the ghetto stamper! LOL! I stamp in our unfinished basement. Here's a pic and you can see tons more on my blog.
My hubby and I recently relocated to a very small patio home and now share our office. Since I work from home, I had to get creative with my space. I have an "L" shaped desk, so I used the small part of the "L" for my office area and the large part of the "L" for my creative spot. I mean a girl's gotta do, what a girl's gotta do. I turned my two draw filing cabinet into a paper organizer on the top and cardstock for stamping on the bottom. I have two cabinets that now face each other and hold all of my sizlitts, rubber stamp sets and pictures. I have all my "must haves" on my desk i.e., punches, idea books, inspiration, pens and my clear stamps from MFTS and others that I use all the time. I made acrylic binders with clear acetate sheets between the acrylic sheets to store my alphas, misc stamps, etc., and have them all at my fingertips, I used my Zutter to bind them. I love my work area. It cozy, compact and its all mine!
Hi again: I will have my husband send pictures I am not good at that. It will be a while as he is currently painting some new crawers for my craft room.

I don't know why I have the name stamp-girl since I am 74 yrs old. My husband is painting the new drawers for the stamp room and he will send pictures of my stamp space soon.

Look great Yorkiemamma, I love seeing where others create
One of my most value tools is a set of charts I created using a MFT coffee cup stamp and some X-Press It cardstock. The usual Copic color charts don't give a person enough room to really see what your color will eventually look like, so I've colored each image with my Copics as I would when coloring an image for a card. I use light and dark shading to get an authentic sample.
I'm seeing a lot of X-boxes for copic storage. Where would someone, like me, buy something like those......?
Bonnie I bought mine at Office Max or Office Depot. It's been a while so I don't remember for sure. They were about $10 each and I used 4 and hooked them together, so I have 16 compartments to sort in. Hope that helps.
