Craft Organization

Do you have lots of stuff and don't know how to organize it?  Check out Better Homes and Gardens website for ideas.  They also have some great ideas for setting up a craft room.  I have a small craft room, but dream of having a big place that would accommodate me and all my stamping friends.  Well, I can dream, and we can make dreams happen!!!!

Enjoy!
