Office Organization

Hello!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend.  I have been doing lots of office organization and thought I would share some pictures.  No matter what, I always find I need to re-organize and haul out old stuff every few months or I get totally swamped in my little office.

My husband gave me my birthday present a few days early this week and so I took it as the perfect opportunity to get cleaning!  He made me a peg board similar in concept to one I saw in Paper Crafts Practical Solutions for Paper Crafters. I asked him to make one that would go with my office and here is what he made:



 Cool, ugh?  It holds a TON of stuff.  I have so many rhinestones and embellishments on this thing so now I can see what I have and USE it!

I also bought this organizer from Michael's because it was 40% off this weekend and all the craft organizing stuff was also 40% off so everything was super cheap!  The kids helped me to sort buttons for two hours on Thursday night! Ha! They didn't last long but I finally finished.  I don't think I will be using a button for awhile. Kind of hate them at the moment :)

So...this is what I have been up to.  I will have some projects to share this week, I promise!

Thanks for stopping by!

LOVE the peg board idea! Your husband has done an awesome job!!!
I've been eyeing those shelves at Mike's lately but I'm in an undeveloped basement right now and no where to hang it :( Maybe I should pick it up....just to have ;)

I thought of driving up to Michael's but didn't get there (it's a 1.5 hr. drive). 'Life' got in the way! Love your room, Cammie - looks like such a well organized, but very warm, homey, type room! Thanks for sharing, and don't EVER let that man go!!! He's a definite keeper :)

Great idea - and right in sight. that's how I like my stuff. Then I know what I have, and I'm more apt to USE it...

Donna said...

Wow! Your DH did a great job on that board and all that hard work of organizing will pay off in time savings. Happy Birthday to you! Have a wonderful week.

Since you are in the groove of cleaning/organizing, why don't you come visit me?!! It's the perfect time to clean my area (as a bomb went off in it recently!!)
Love the peg board idea!!

Your peg board is chic! And I can imagine how much space it has freed. Organizing can be fun and storage can be made stylish.
