I have my yardage fabric neatly folded, placed on open shelves in a walk in closet, arranged by color. It looks really good. I have my fat quarters neatly arranged in plastic bins, my battings are also on shelves, my tools are organized and easily accessible....:):)You are probably saying "how wonderful of you" don't be so hasty, there is more. My big problem is all those pieces left over of varying sizes when you cut a project. I have some in boxes, some in bags, some just piled in a drawer, some piled on top of the cutting table, and just stashed everywhere. It is on my to do list to do something with this mess but I am at a loss as to what. I started cutting everything into wedges for a specific project, (i forget what the project was, and haven't added to it in a while) so some of those are in a little bin with the special ruler I used to cut. I haven't been quilting long enough to know what is the best size to cut these pieces so they will be useful later, but I have been at it long enough to have a mess of jumbled fabric here there and everywhere.....In fact I was just looking at this mess yesterday, Snow day #2 in the deep south. thanks so much for this QTD, I needed a reminder of this mess and now maybe I will just do something!! LOL After all, this is snow day #3 with no going out anywhere so maybe today is the day....I am inspired. Thanks again....to all of you Murphy

Penny funny you should ask that question I was just out today looking for the same thing. The cropper hopper is alot of $$$$$$. I checked out Office Max but they only have the small letter size holders with a handle. I did see a large plastic tub that had the side rails for hanging folders but the thing was huge, i have alot of 12x12 paper but not that much! I think my 60lb dog would fit in it LOL I will keep hunting around and let you know if I find something. Also, I don't know where to get the 12x12 hanging folders do you? I know the scrap stores have them for the hopper but Office Max didn't. I prefer the hanging system keeps everything neat. Currently I use that accordion type file box which is Great if you don't have tons of paper.

hey this sounds like fun but does it have to be on 8.5x11 paper cant it be the blank cards that they sell for this purpose??? that is what i always use it looks better i think let me know happy stamping/scrapping tracy

Just an update ladies, I am still waiting on some packages and will swap those out as soon as I get them. I had a very busy week as my b-i-l was in an auto accident and I have taken on a class type thing teahing scrapbooking to battered women, so have been trying to get donations for that. Tammy and Caroline your paper has been shipped. I will let everyone elso know as I receive their paper and when it is shipped. Thanks Annette
