tidying your "scrapping area"

[danyaz]

my scrap area is in my bedroom next to my mini gym, which must go so i have more scrapping space, anyway i tidy away after i finish or my oh will have a cleaning moment when i go to work and throws out what he calls silly bits of paper but what i call paper for mini books, etc, plus my dd decided today whilst i was at work that she wanted to start scrapping and phoned to ask if she could do a lo, i stupidly said yes and told her what she could use then panicked all evening until i got home at 11pm about what she used, luckily it looks like she hasnt used anything precious but will check her lo in the morning, yet another reason i need to tidy.......

and put a lock on my bedroom door now.

I ticked have to tidy after every session cos I hate mess. That's not strictly true. But I just can't start another LO until the desk area is clean and tidy and I have put away all the things I used from the last LO. Helps my concentration I think.

Wish I could work that way!!!!!!! But I dont.. I just put leave everything where it is and work around it. Although I have a blue sheet thing on my table to protect it and I usually move everything off that so I have that free. But that is all I do...Move it.. I dont pack it away! It can be fun though sorting through everything and going oh yes Forgot I had that...makes it worth while......(yes me thinks I will carry on saying that until it is true!!!!!!!! )

I use our spare room as my scrap room, and i have to tidy up each time i finish a session. I really dont like going in there and seeing loads of mess. so what i tend to do is put all the papers and bits and bobs i intend to use in a neat pile on my desk to use the next time i have time to scrap!

i bought the tall set of plastic boxes(like drawers) for the room and i keep the bottom drawer empty, then if i have a few bits and bobs im still using i pop them in there and save things lying around

I gernerally tidy up after each session. Mainly cos my cats like finding stupid places to sleep. One of them had a glitter and double sided tape stuck to her belly. Also tidy cos i have a scrapping area in our dining room with table and cupboards etc, but i dont like it looking messing when i walk past to get to kitchen. lol

Although B/F keeps telling me to leave it how i want, messy or not as that is why he has made the area for me so that i can leave stuff about. But i think have decorated cats is a waste of stash!

I'll have to remember for next time. I was laughing so much at her, with a roll of tape dragging on the floor under her, that i probably wouldn't have been able to find the camera through the tears of laughter. Best bit is, she hasn't learnt her lesseon and still tries to sleep on the table.

I have to clear it up each time since I don't have an area
