How about repurposing an egg carton to use as a drawer organizer? This idea came from www.bhg.com
This one... I LOVE! A birdcage used to hold office/craft supplies. Find out more about it at www.robomargo.com
Having a "why didn't I think of that" moment... yeah... me too. :-)

Tuesday Tutorial ---- Craft Tables
Need some organization in your craft room. Here are some great storage tables you can make yourself.
Cutting Table from Georgia Peachez.
This next one from is put together with bookcases and hollow core doors. This is a bit big for the average craft room but I could see one made half the size. From the Ivy Cottage Blog.
This last one has no directions but would be easy enough to put together. An old file cabinet at one end, porch posts on the other and topped with an old door and a piece of glass.

Organizing - Keeping Your Cords In Order
I am one of those people who can't stand having a mess of wires and cords behind the computer and tv. I have most of mine either bundled with rubber bands or those velcro ties that you can purchase. Today I found some more ideas to keep those cords more organized.
This is a clever way to label your cords so you know which one is which. Read more about it at... www.apartmenttherapy.com
How about a homemade charging station to keep all your devices organized and charged without a mess.
Find out how it's done here... www.allyou.com
Here's a way to keep those cords from falling behind the desk when they're not in use. www.apartmenttherapy.com
How about a storage box made just for your cords using empty TP rolls. They could be easily labeled and are kept neat and under control. Find more info at www.storageandglee.blogspot.com
Thanks for visiting!
