Organization
Ok, since this challenge was my idea I'll kick it off.
Organization. I lust after photos of crafting spaces. Painted in bright cheerful colours, storage galore, and miles upon miles of workspace.
But alas in the temporary living situation I am in right now my crafting space and thus my storage is less than ample. While one small storage rack, and half a dozen packing boxes are all I can claim for an organizational system, I know I can do better - even within this temporary situation.

Emilie Ahern's tutorial on customizable paper storage using grid storage cubes is brilliant and makes me wonder why I couldn't have figured out something so simple on my own. I have to admit that I own several of those cube storage systems from my college days, but somehow in our last move the bag of plastic clips disappeared and being as frugal as I am I haven't had the heart to get rid of the "useless" grid pieces. Well, duh, zipties! And this tutorial comes at a perfect time as I am in a huge need for super cheap paper storage.
Also, here is a photo of another configuration useing the same wire cube shelves and zipties: http://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/255395/view/1439733/-1/0/1.html
