These are containers just the old cheepo one from the $2 store, the ones on the right contain all my loose ribbon in colours and labeled so, eg all shades of Yellow have Yellow on the label on the left side are bits of strange things that are used regularly like wings, magnets, rings n pins, moldings & flourishes. Zoom in and you will see more. Yes I do have a little collection of things in front of the containers, I am lazy sometimes and just don't put everything away. Here you are getting my dirty laundry and all. On the right side of these containers usually stands my stencils that are large in size, it's a gap that works well.
Here with these container they hold things that are more regularly used like puffy paints, Lumiere, pearl & metallic tubes, rub n buff, spritz sprays. These containers are easily lifted out or I can just take what I want from the container to the table.
Below these are the bigger containers of ribbon, the ones that I have a lot of like the white, cream and Christmas.
We are now getting close to Yoda and he is really cheeky today, a little while ago he was curled up on my bed with his big brother the other man in my life Ditto, Ditto is not a cuddly cat, he runs the Kingdom here, or at least things so. Yoda makes up for all the cats in this house when it comes to cuddles.

Here is a better shot of him with my phone and antibiotics that I am taking ATM. Another story. I had my finger cut into by the doctor due to a rose thorn getting deeply embedded in my finger and a rather nasty infection that nearly turned septic.
Not long after this shot he got really cheeky and tried to claim my computer chair. He thought I would have to pick him up therefore he gets his cuddle. But the truth being told he is really smiling at all his worldly admirers, saying look at me, look at me. He really is a cheeky boy sometimes, how could you lot love him. But Julia awaits today for the posting of the desks.
This orange man belongs to me his name is Ditto but he is not really into the pomp and gaiety, he sleeps with Yoda on my bed sometimes and today was the day. Next week I will try and show you more of my room and how I store things. I have a big table down the middle of the room with loads of supplies all around. Really I am a little OCD and I do have my untidy moments, don't we all and yes I do get into big messes at times.
Hoped you have enjoyed a little tour of my space and please leave a comment and your link number. Dont forget to pop over to Julia's place.
Tootles for now and happy crafting
Hugs Eliza & Yoda

Have a wonderful day!

What sweet little boys you have. Yoda looks so happy- as does Ditto!
I too had a splinter deeply embedded in my finger, but I went to Doctor Google, and found some things that worked!I was lucky.It was deep, but not too deep to be drawn out by the stuff I put on it.
I think yours must have gone very deep. Splinters can be nasty!You wouldn't think such a small thing could get so sore!
Hope all's well apart from splinters!
Love seeing other crafters storage ideas! You are a very organised lady! Lovely yoda and ditto pictures. Jackie 4
Nice to see Ditto who reminds me of our last "puddy tat", Fudge, He was a real sweetie but we didn't have him long enough (CRF).
Love the expression on Yoda's face on the last photo - that is priceless and well worth enlarging and displaying somewhere.
Hope that finger is feeling better, mine is fine but then I am a wimp, but it was too sore to type with last week.
Take care and finger - get better.
Hugs, Neet 29 xx
How wonderful to see how organized you are! And of course the cats always steal the show! Hope your finger gets well soon! Happy WOYWW!
Hugs, peggy aplSEEDS@3
I wish I had a touch of OCD and then I could sort things so beautifully. Your system sounds very methodical and practical. Thank goodness for antibiotics ....sepsis is not so good. Lovely to meet Ditto and a big scratch under the chin for Yoda.

Wow you have so much stuff and are so organised!! Yoda and Ditto are the 'Stars' though :-) Anne x #40

Loving all the photos of your furbabies!!! I'm hoping we get a cat as soon as we're moved into our new home this summer! Great job on the organizing - looks like you have quite a few treasures, and one can NEVER have too much ribbon! Have a great week & God bless!
Happy Crafting!

It is hard to believe that you get into "messy", you are one of the most organized people I have seen. Now that I started with stamping I have to do some organizing, to find what I am looking for.
Your infection sounds nasty - Having a finger wounded takes ages to heal, because you keep touching it.
I wasn´t aware you had 2 cats and such beauties. Compared to your orange man, Yoda looks very fragile, I wish I knew his story.
Thank you for visiting and your nice comment.
Hugs

Wow, what a big organization of crafty stuff!I am yet to start on that in my new home! Yoda is looking good!
Lots of hugs,
Cardarian
Wow that's a lot of storage you have. Ditto is very cute ( but don't worry Yoda, you are still our favourite)

Hi Eliza, loving the virtual tour of your workspace. Thanks for the how-to on DIY embossing paste, I did actually think about trying to add talc, or cornflour to the white, so it seems I wasn't too far off the mark! Hugs to Yoda, and Ditto- he is gorgeous too, I do love Ginger cats! Have a great week, hugs, Shaz #16 xx
Thank you for the tour--I really like how you're storage all matches, mine is a mish mash of what was at hand!
Our Daisy cat generally isn't much of a cuddler, either, but sometimes, on her terms, cuddles are mandatory, not optional!

finished chair & a chalkboard
Oh, I really love your organisation! All those boxes, neatly labelled, make my heart go skipping skip. Not for me the desk piled high in the detritus of a previous project, I can't bear wasting time, so have to have a clear space and know where all my tools are, lol!!
Yoda is looking very pleased with himself and quite rightly so :-)
Hugs, LLJ 26 xx
I always like to see what others have for storage and what they are storing. You do have a lot of ribbon. In my house you would say I have a lot of cardstock. Thanks for the extended tour of your crafty space. And of course special cuddles to Yoda and a nice How-de-do to Ditto.
Thanks for my Yoda fix. He looks so pleased with himself on your chair! Great set up you have there too. #56
Your storage system looks impressive and so much to peek through wow do much fun you must have. Your handsome hunks look adorable as always hugs Nikki 14
Such neat storage system with all the labels and everything! very organized! I like putting things into boxes too - the problem is I can never remember what I put into which box. Yoda's looking sweet as usual and Ditto is just too comfy to look at. Makes me want to curl up and go to sleep! Happy WOYWW! zsuzsa @ InkyDinkyDoodle #34
Hi Eliza, love the amount of space you have to store all your goodies.Though I think the more space I had the more stuff I'd get to fill it, so I wouldn't be any better off lol.Great pic of Yoda and that expression! Loving Ditto too of course, what's not to like about a ginger mog. Hope the meds work for your finger, ouch. Hugs Lottie x #78
OOh ouch! I hope your finger gets better soon. Is it on your 'working' hand? How annoying.
Thank you for showing us your storage solutions. So neat and tidy.
Of course it's really Yoda we want to see and Ditto too. I hadn't seen him but he is a lovely ginger moggie.
Have a good week, hope the weather isn't too bad/hot,
Lisca#41
Hi Eliza
that's some fabulous storage you have there. But obviously the star of the show is Yoda and I love your typo about doing a little 'jump' which you typed as dump Lol
Janet @18
Both Ditto and Yoda are cuties, but I love the expression on Yoda. He definitely looks like he's up to something!
Thanks for the visit to my blog earlier and for the kind words.
Happy creating and happy woyww,
Sandy #10
the storage shots are always my favorites :) love seeing all your furbabies too. ( I had thought Yoda was an "only" cat) :)
and I love that ALL your containers are labeled. sometimes I start labeling then stop when systems get added to over time. ~Stacy #77
I think I might be a tad in love with both Yoda and Ditto. Ditto's aloofness just makes me want to hug him and squish him more and Yoda looks like a cat you could get a good conversation out of :-)
Thanks for showing your storage, I always love seeing other peoples work spaces.
Carmen x #53
Smiling back at Yoda! You have two handsome cats there! Love your storage - I struggle to put things away although i am getting a little better at it! Chrisx 43
Hi Eliza...and thank you for visiting yesterday, I'm just getting around to visiting today. I must say when I got to the bottom of your post I thought you had a photo of our cat, Henry...he must be Dittos bro, he's asleep on a chair behind me that I bought into the craft room so he could be up and near me. Your craft space is wonderfully organised and colour co-ordinated, thanks for sharing. Have a great week Cheers RobynO#20
Hi Eliza, I love your kitties. Yoda does look like he has the market cornered on being a love bug! It's always great to see how other's store their overflowing supplies. Yes, I admit I am one of them as well, supplies for crafting everywhere, LOL! Honestly, I think I spend more time arranging and organizing my supplies than I do using them! Oh well :D
Hugs,

If you were in the UK Eliza I would take you to see my friend Anne's craft room, you would be in heaven. It is so beautifully laid out and has a place for everything and every inch of space is used. I wish I was so organised.

Hello to Yoda
Thanks for calling by at mine yesterday and for you lovely comments.
You're my kind of gal when it comes to organisation. I love having a place for everything [even if things aren't always in their place]. I think Yoda's face says it all...what's not to love and who could resist giving him affection?
Hugs,
Annie x # 15
I loved the virtual tour of your creative space, Eliza. The boxes look great, all matching! I love the look of my RUBs too, with their blue handles. Your shelves all look so organised. As for Yoda, he certainly is a star! Please thank him for the kitty cuddles he sent (and yours too!!) - kitty cuddles always make one feel better. I had Beatrice snuggled up beside me UNDER the duvet this morning - her favourite place after breakfast in this cold weather! Thank you for your lovely comment that made me smile! Yes MA'AM!!! Computer will go in hospital with me! I shall probably ask my hubby to bring it in when I'm up to it.
Next time I'll put a nice piccie on, even if it's not of my boring empty desk lol lol!
Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #89
Hi Eliza, just popped back to say that i now have a follow by e-mail button (didn't know whether I had one or not - he! he!)
Love your organization, Eliza! Your are my inspiration model!! With my recent move I just might be able to pull it off. Hugs to the adorable Little Man from the FL Girls! And we'll even touch in a hug for Ditto. ;) Hugs and Happy WOYWW! Nan G #63
Your desk looks wonderful, Eliza, with everything neat and to hand like that. Yoda is such a cutie,Ditto and Ditto's coat is a fab marmalade colour. Have a great week, Chris # 11
I love seeing how storage works for someone else... I am still a work in progress... haven't found the ideal solution yet but it may be that I am always moving from continent to continent... now I am at home perhaps it will come together! LOL Apologies for my late visitation! Annette #51
