Do you need to organize your craft area, but lack the motivation – and the inspiration? I’ve just found an awesome group on Flickr called “Craft Rooms“. You’ll find over 2,000 gorgeous pictures of neatly organized craft rooms and corners. It’s like touring a thousand houses, without ever having to leave your own!
Take a look at this one. Forget just spending time there crafting – I’d love to live in it all the time! That’s the great thing about organizing your craft area – when it looks good, and it’s a pleasure to work there – you’ll want to spend more time crafting and creating.
It’s another example of how organization can set you free, and let you do the things you really want to do![LG]Try these for Craft Storage![/LG]
