Organizing my craft supplies
The photo above has been blogged here and there in cyberspace and to date 95 people consider it a fave on Flickr! I thought I'd let you get a closer look to what's hiding in the drawers (which are from Muji by the way. One of my favourite shops). Be prepared to scroll...
Since the photo was taken I've rearranged the drawers a little so they work even better for all the stuff inside. One of the beauties of the these drawers is that you can switch them around to your hearts content:)
From the top:
Top drawer left: Postage info, scales, Tyvek envelopes
Top drawer right: Cushioned envelopes, bubble wrap (pink!)
2nd drawers left: Ribbon scraps, notions
2nd drawers right: Punches, stamps, glitter, sequins
3rd drawer left: Gift wrapping notions, pull bows
3rd drawers right: Tape, metal wire, glue dots
4th drawer left: Ribbons
4th drawer right: Cellophane -bags, -sleeves, gift bags
5th drawer left: More ribbons...
5th drawer right : Gift tags
6th drawer right: Stickers
7th drawer right: Beads
That's it. Enjoy!
Ps. I'm still having a little trouble getting my photos centered. I wanted the two photos centered together in a neat orderly fashion (haha) but they kept jumping apart in an annoying way so in the end I gave up. But I'll figure it out!
Hurra! Va glad jag blir att du bloggar! Hoppas att det är ok att jag länkar till dig. Sicken underbar oprdning. Precis som jag önskar jag hade det... Kramar i massor och TACK för all inspiration.

Hey! I just found you through a link on Creative Organizing Solutions, and I loved looking through your craft supplies! It's easy to see how it got popular on the web; its the definition of "eye candy."

hello.I love your desk unit.did you get it made or can I find one somewhere?.You should see my work corner! It will make you shiver.

Hi Clare! We built the unit ourselves around the Muji drawers. Sorry not being more of a help...

Wow - you are so organized! Do you like having the hazy-clear drawers? I love clear drawers, but I would really like all the way super clear. Does that make sense?

welcome to the blog world benita!!
it looks fantastic, and ummmm, honestly? you're making me feel quite disorganized right now! time to clean up around here. :)

Diana, I love super-clear too, but you have to be super-organized all the time for that to work out. Hazy works for me. I have to admit that once in a while I just throw something (or quite a few things...) in there and with it being hazy I only see the hazy version of the mess I've created :)
Victoria, I've seen your home online and there's nothing to clean up around there. Or do you, like me, clear away what clutter there is before shooting? :)

Oh Benita, you are my hero when it comes to organizing. Thing is: I have too much stuff!!! Seriously! But I am inspired again and I am in the middle of decluttering. I do that again and again and somehow things still come into my house - how weird...
Big hugs also for a wonderful yellow parcel from you and such a special surprise: We love the robot cards and will frame them for Moritz room! Thank you so much!
And great that you are blogging now!!!
hugs,
Yvonne

Yvonne, how great to see you over at my place! I love yours, but you know that already :) I'm so glad you like the parcel. Swapping is so much fun. Pretty addictive actually...
