28 November 2010
I know I haven't been on my blog much lately, but with the holidays and Black Friday shopping...my schedule is all thrown off.  I had started rearranging the Scrapcave about a week ago and I finally made it back down there today to finish it up.  I have to thank my wonderful hubby for hanging my ribbon holders and Casey & my son for helping me move the large furniture.  Well, here is the final result. 
p.s. I didn't get around to vacuuming yet.  =D
This is what I use for ribbon holders.  I go to Home Depot and buy the (orange or yellow) sticks that you use to mark your yard & driveway for snow (they cost like $2 each) and then I go to Bed Bath & Beyond and buy just the curtain rod supports (they cost around $5-7 each).  The sticks I bought this time are 6 ft long so I used 3 supports (otherwise it would sag in the center.)

Here they are full of ribbon.  I actually need one more ribbon holder...I guess I have a lot of ribbon. =D  Also, I should mention that I tape the ends of the ribbon because they will completely unravel otherwise.  My kitties love when that happens, but I don't.  LOL

Full view of the Scrapcave.  This is a view of  Casey's desk & her bookshelf on the left.



I bought these baskets at the Dollar General a long time ago and started using them to hold my Cricut booklets & keypads.  I now keep my cartridges in one of those CGull bags.

This is my paper stash!  I love that it is right behind my desk now. =D

This is my desk!  You can see my kitty Maya under my table.  She likes to steal my chair as soon as I get up.  lol

More paper!!!  I'm using that black cd shelf to hold my punches. glitter mist,  and glues.

Our old entertainment center is great for holding my scrapbooking stuff.

This is the view from the opposite end of the room.  I finally cleared all my scrap stuff away from the weight equipment so that the boys can use it this winter.  I should probably use it too...lol!  On the fireplace (on the right) I have all my scrap paper organized in plastic containers and I have my scrap magazines there too.  All my Cricut cart boxes are up by the window in case I need a quick reference.

Before I bought the massive amount of ribbon that I now have, I used to store it in this little basket-thingy.  I bought it at WalMart where they sell the bathroom accessories.  It works great for pulling the strands of ribbon through the slots.  Below that basket, I have about 6 of those plastic containers with ribbon that has been cut and twine-type ribbon.

 I'm not sure how long it will stay this organized and clean, but I am very happy with the way it is arranged now!

Now, I need to get started on the Tiddly Inks Challenge...luckily I have another week to get it done.

Hugs, Tracy
