Lovely Wrap Up Studio Storage

I was party hopping a few weeks ago and found Life Made Lovely. Have you ever party hopped? I stumbled across a few party link libraries and wow! There are some parties out there!! I could do a different party every day is the month (if I was less lazy so inclined).

I decided to combine two of my favorites for regular Monday posts. Welcome to my first Lovely Wrap Up post! I will be linking this up to Tatertots and jello and Life Made Lovely every Saturday and Monday. Most likely the post will actually be up on Sunday.

On Friday I went to Ikea with a friend to stock up on some more Kassett boxes and FLYT magazine holders.  I love visiting Ikea and poring over the storage options.

Yes, I left the mess there for effect. Really I did!

I've found that art and craft supplies multiply when you're not looking. Or when you visit the thrift store 'to have a look'.

Taking pictures at night with the flash, not such a good idea.

So now I can pull out any storage box I want and find what I need.  Now to cut out fifteen circles for all the FLYT magazine holders I now have!  I'll update with the new pretties once I get them done.

If I can still type after doing all that cutting out!

Here's this week's links to the parties

So, what lovely things were you up to this weekend?

Here a pile, there a pile!

So, Saturday I talked to Hubs about moving our tall IKEA Billy bookcase to the end of my desk. Our desk, the desk. Whichever, I wanted it in the office so I could have my art supplies and books at fingertip.

Hubs agreed we would try it out.  It only needed a whole lotta little rearranging.

Before - the main cause of my desperately needing wanting to rearrange was that pile on the end of my desk. That HUGE pile of every piece of paper that I had to file in some way or another in the storage closet. The storage closet that had waaaaaaay too much stuff in it!  Really, there were a few other piles here and there and everywhere for me to relocate to filing.

So began the not-so great rearrange of this weekend. I'll spare you the details and photos of what I had to do to get to this point.  That would be the tall bookcase on it's way from the storage closet to the office.

Did I mention I had a helper for this madness fabulous idea I had?

Somehow Turtle doesn't look as exhausted enthused as her mommy!  Probably because she knows that this means her room/closet is next!

The weekend ended with everything in a rough set up.  The piles? They are still on my desk. And the dining room table. And the floor of the storage closet. Yikes!  Look for an update tomorrow as I slog through the piles now that I can happily easily reach all my filing.
