Sometimes I see baskets I love on clearance, but I don't buy them because I don't know exactly where I'd use them or how many I'd need. Then later when I know I need something, I have sticker shock. <br /><br />Also, I love your most recent post on organizing your studio work space. When I see piles, I get overwhelmed and don't know where to go with them. How do you break it down, so you can decide how things should be categorized and how they'll work best?<br /><br />I love, love the pictures of you in this post!Christyhttp://www.xanga.com/twofus_1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-10414790670730419332011-09-01T20:47:13.132-05:002011-09-01T20:47:13.132-05:00I use coupons and have a "stockpile" of ...I use coupons and have a "stockpile" of sorts of health and beauty products (first-aid, body washes-at least 15, deoderants, toothpaste,travel size items,etc...)

I have four little kids, between 6 years old and 3 months old, and we've just finished our basement so their toys are now out of our living room/family room. So now it's going to be a piano/living/home office room. We are going to put in a large L shaped desk for our computer, a kid's computer and space for doing homework. We're planning to put some shelves on the wall and I'm hoping to get either an expedit shelf from ikea or a long sideboard from craigslist for more storage. I have 2 questions for you, first, what tips can you give me for organizing our desk and shelves for incoming mail, bill paying, school and other activity paperwork, etc. Secondly, what tips can you give me for organizing kids art supplies (in the sideboard) and displaying finished art work.<br />Thanks so much!Julie Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206711070243818090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-76541090699665316212011-08-31T15:56:14.811-05:002011-08-31T15:56:14.811-05:00How do you get all the amazing graphic designs and...How do you get all the amazing graphic designs and fonts on your blog?

I know that if it's all organised and everything has a place it is easier. And maybe if you don't have a toddler who pulls out anything and everything she can reach it's easier too. But really, how do you do it? Do you have to constantly nag your family to put things away or do they do it automatically? Do you assign chores to your kids? Does your husband help? Is there a certain time of day that everything gets picked up? What is the routine? Do you have a professional cleaning crew and hiding in the closet??? :) <br /><br />And (mostly) unrelated: How big is your house? How many rooms, square feet, etc. Helps to know what you are working with. <br /><br />What kind of things are the bane of your organising existence?
