What a lucky girl you are!! I have a quickly growing corner of our bedroom....would love to have a whole room. Maybe my DH will take pity on me someday and build me a room....

Thanks!! The door was taken down when we moved in to make it the playroom, with a baby gate installed instead. BUT DH is working on replacing all the downstairs, interior doors. (They're all the original ones, like 60 years old.) So I'll be getting a door! YAY The thing that got us finally going on the doors was that we're planning on getting DD a cat for her 7th bday and I told him if we did there HAD to be a door on my room! Hey, I've heard TOO many stories about pets and stamping supplies. Girl's gotta have her priorities! ;)
The printer is the Epson PictureMate Deluxe... my Cmas present. I LOVE IT!

Oh Jami you know me SO well!!! LOL Last weekend I did all my prep for Tuesday's club meeting and was so consumed with placing the order, along with my own $200 order to add! Now I've found my room back to the way it was before and I don't want to clean it... I'm way more interested in moving on to my next project! So I'm attempting to CASE the mint tin/mini album from the last SS. ;)
Very nice! Your before photo looks like what my space usually looks like within 20 minutes or so. I am going to be organizing my space with cabinets,cupboards and counter top soon- any suggestions? What is your ribbon in?

I LOVE my CS storage, except I don't stock the 12x12 (yet). That would be a difficult addition for me. I use simple file boxes w/ hanging folders. I have 2 boxes under my side table. One has neutrals and 2 color families, the other has specialty papers (kraft, naturals, etc.) and the other 2 color families. Each hanging folder has one of those tabs w/ the name. In the front of each folder is a quart size zip bag with scraps.
My ribbon (my collection is growing - yay!) is in ribbon storage boxes that snap together. I got them a while ago at Target after someone posted here about them. They're marketed for organizing your wrapping supplies and were sold with a bunch of other kinds of organizers. They're not perfect but they work well and keep the ribbon covered and safe from dust. I love that my CS is also safe from dust, spills, etc.
