January 8, 2011-Day 8, 31 Days, 31 Videos, 31 Goals Challenge.

Today, January 8, 2011-Saturday, Day 8 of my 31 Days, 31 Videos, 31 Goals Challenge, I decided to clean off my file cabinet under my stamp shelf on my wall. And organize it more. I got that done. I also fit my stamp pad holders on there very nicely.

I've been getting frustrated due to the fact that I do have such a small room. This house is very old. It was built in the early 50's, if not late 40's. This room is an 'add-on' room that was originally made as a garage if I remember correctly. Weird set-up if you ask me but they did what they did. Anyhow, as a result, it now has become my scrap room...hahaa! 

Because this room does have 3 windows, I'm frustrated due to the fact I have hardly any wall space. :( But I've been determined to get through this and do the best with what I've got for now until I can do more.

I begged my sweetie to please come and look at my situation and help me to please figure out ways I can organize it to the max. I suggested shelving, but then that still leaves the "What am I going to put onto those shelves once they're built". Not that I don't have anything to put onto them, as I sure do, it's just that I don't want to put shelves up and then waste all my wall space with shelves. ***sigh*** so indecisive right now. LOL, hence, the reason I asked him for his help. He's much better at knowing space and understanding what can & can't fit there and how it can fit etc. So I told him basically that he can basically design my scrap room for me after I tell him how I want it....lol he agreed! WOOHOO!

He suggested cabinets and shelving to maximize my space completely. Which baffled me because maybe it's because I have so much crap in there currently that I just don't see it....lol but he said it's possible and I believe him. So we went to Lowe's tonight to look at cabinets. :) I found some that I like a lot, of course, at a price...eek, but eventually, I'll get them. It will be pricey, but compared to the el cheapo's that he liked, eh, I just liked the more expensive ones better due to the fact they are nicer and will last longer and hold more. The others he chose were nice too, but to me, eh, more for the closet....lol lol

So here's a picture of the cabinets...woot, what do you think? Did I do good?

 I love them so far!!!! Now if I can just afford to get them......lol hint, if anyone wants to get me anything for my birthday, Mother's Day or Christmas, ahem, Lowe's Gift cards...hahaha!


Ok, video coming up......of Day 8. :)

 I loveeee my newly remodeled stamp station! I did a few things today. I not only cleaned off the file cabinets under my stamp shelf, to make it my 'stamp station', I organized it too. I also hung up my shelf under my tv yet again, it fell off the other day. LOL I had to get bigger nails to hold it. I also went with my sweetie, and picked out my awesomeness cabinets! WOOHOO! Now although I won't have those cabinets by the end of my challenge, lol I *will* have them by the end of the year. They are pricey, but I *will* have them by the end of '11. :) I hope you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for further videos of my achievements. Have a great day!
