Places, everything. Places!

For those of you who know me IRL, you know how I love things to be orderly and organized. I'm one of those strange people who actually enjoy organizing because (in my ideal world) there is a place for everything and everything is in its place. Aaahhh, I digress . . .

I spent hours setting up and organizing my scrapbook/craft/office area and had a blast! As I've posted before, I bought a computer armoire off Craig's List and set it up for all my scrapbooking stuff. However, in the process, I lost the desk that held my office supplies & such.

At a recent shopping trip to Ikea, I found a glass door in the "as is" section of the store. I asked Todd if he thought it might work & we decided to try it since it was only $10. On Friday, we set it up using some old shelving units and it works great!

Here it is with the armoire closed:



And open:




I still have a few things I want to add or reorganize, but I love having a space that I can pretty much close up after making my mess. :) My main challenge now - packing up what I need for a scrapbook retreat!
