I thought I would post another organizational tip that I have been using the past few months that I find REALLY helpful.
I had a hard time keeping track of and organizing my leftovers, rejects, extras, etc. from projects. I decided to keep them all in one place instead of being scattered all over my craft supplies. I bought these 2 recipe card holders at Michaels for $3.00 each. (Note: yesterday at my Michaels store they were on clearance at 60% off!) These are the larger size ones, 6 1/2 wide, 5 1/2 high, 4 1/8 depth. I used the regular size ones for a while, but they were not quite tall enough for the bases so the top didn't close all the way.
This has made a big difference in knowing what I already have when I do a project, saving me time and using things up. It also makes cleaning up after a project easier, I know exactly where to put things. I keep these boxes right on my craft desk at my fingertips.

Very good ideas. Do you mean there is an alternative to those little piles of paper all over my dining room table? My family will be relieved to learn that. Thank you.
