Default I am retiring in 2 yrs and need reorganization!

After working for 35 yrs for the same company (and for 10 yrs before that for various places), I am planning to retire! I make cards and scrapbooks. I have been interested in other crafts, but have moved those out of my crafting room to make room for all my STUFF! I have tried many different methods of organization (I will be including pictures).

This looks like a dream come true! Right now I share my 8x9 room with a stacking washer and dryer. The window blinds are permanently closed and shelves holding paper and stickers are in front of them.

This combination storage and work station would look beautiful in my living room and I could scrap there and be able to close up everything afterwards. Right now, I bring out wood TV trays to work on my projects.

I can't wait till I retire and can work on finishing all the scrapbooks for my grandchildren and great grandchildren as well as my niece, nephews and great nephews! I have made cards for my family to give on holidays - especially Halloween! This would make it so much easier. I am so crowded right now that my cricut is sitting permanently in the living room.

My husband is self-employed and utilitzes the basement for a shop - no room there. I use a couple of shelves in my bedroom storing crafting magazines and share it with my sewing machine. I have been thinking about getting some kind of desk for working in the living room and this would be an answer to my prayers. My wonderful husband is very proud of my work and would love sharing the living room with me - he watching TV - me scrapping away!
