I might be able to find my stuff now!

Does straightening up your art supplies
get you excited about creating??
I've been trying to put away some of the visual clutter in my studio
and it's really made the space look so much better!!
I have so many tiny things that I thought if I could group
and conceal some of them it would help the room not look so junky.

Remember the piece I found at Michael's Saturday?
I was able to use a half off coupon and of course you know I loved that!!
I've filled it up now....

Ribbons on the side ~

Odds and ends in the top ~

Glitters in the first drawer ~

Assemblage and collage embellishments and doo-dads ~

More ribbon ~

Today I decided that I'd like another piece
of this organizing furniture from Michael's.
Not the same piece but a different one.
I took in another 50% off coupon to use and then
when I checked out it was 50% off already!!
It has four boxes that I just placed the lids on the bottom
so I could use them like drawers.
(I already had the carousel that's on top)

This is now my snippet box, bigger and much better!
Great for saving those tiny scraps that can still be used.

I love my nature stash ~ perfect for assemblages....

I think this is an acorn cap from a burr oak....
doesn't it look like a hat??

Twine, hemp and string ~ a few artificial flowers

Eggs and small pine cones ~

I love getting my supplies organized and so I can find them...
I'm getting there!!

I hope your Tuesday is wonderful sweet friends ~
hugs and love,
Dawn

It's good to know where your stuff is ~

In an attempt to be more organized, I found this neat little caddy (10.00), drawer thing at w-mart and decided it would help a little bit. It was a gray color and because I love all things creamy colored I also purchased some spray paint for plastic to give it a new look. It turned out really pretty too!

This was on my art table and I was tired of looking at it! So now it's been sorted, sifted and tucked into these adorable little drawers ~

I had this cart in my closet that I used to take to Lakewood Antiques Market when I had the antique store. I think it will be wonderful to keep these rolls of paper in...I have a few more to gather up and add to it ~

I should be finishing this.....



And these.....





But it's fun to organize too! This was another goodie from w-mart (8.00 or so)....my ribbon is currently in a cardboard box. It will be good to put it in this organizer so I can see what I have. The dividers slide out to allow for thicker ribbons too.

And this is nothing but a random shot of a wonderful Ralph Lauren sheet that I bought just because I fell in love with the look of it! I've had it for a long time and use pieces of it in projects ~

I just want to tell you that I'm so glad to be blogging....so glad you stop by.....and so glad to be a part of this amazing community of inspiration. Thank you sweet friends ~

Wishing you a wonderful Friday!

xxoo, Dawn
