…big possibilities.
You know I love Target and little containers and using stuff that isn’t intended for scrapbook storage for scrapbook storage. So tonight I found these:
Little melamine bowls. How cute are they? And even cuter with that bright orange clearance sticker on them. (Well, maybe the sticker isn’t so cute, but it’s just too exciting to see that sticker on something that I can easily justify buying.)
And what will I use these for? Well, I’ve been thinking about switching around a few things in my scrapbook space. Minor stuff.
See, I love these drawers.
I didn’t really expect to love them as much as I do. They’re seriously one of my favorite things in my space. So convenient. And it’s so easy to see what’s inside them. So…I thought I might move some little bitty scrapbook stuff that I want to see and access easily (brads, buttons, clips and other small attachments) to one of the drawers. And now I have little bowls to put the little stuff inside before I put the little stuff in the drawers. How cool is that?
I know.
I really know how to live, don’t I?
So in other exciting news…
Perhaps a before and after picture of the bowls and their new home??? On the drawers, you have tabs with lettering on them – are those stamped letters or rub-on letters? if they are stamped, where did you get the stamps b/c everything i’ve found are larger letters and i want smaller letters. and it they are rub-ons, where did you get them? thanks aby!!
I know these bowls! I got the squarish ones that were displayed by yours (regular price, ugh). Then I found a basket tray at Target that was divided into 4 long sections, and three bowls fit into each section! wahoo! I am dividing brads, eyelets, anchors, etc by color into the bowls, and all will be housed in the tray. (For going to a crop, my plan is to cover the tray tightly with that press and seal stuff, and as a backup plan, there’s always baggies!) I have the same cubes, from Target also, and use the 3 drawer units for ribbons etc all divided by color.
Love your blog, btw, and your book was a refreshing addition to my library of scrapbooking/organizing books, along with The Big Picture! Now to get Stacy’s new Photo book….
Did you purchase the drawers at Target too? Love them!
this is a really cute idea. let’s have a peek when things are finished. i am running into a problem where i have OUTGROWN my scrapbook storage (looks like an explosion of supplies ALL over the place)…so I’m looking around for a new idea; something to contain my collection without leaving me exasperated every time to try to pull things together. I like the drawer idea. i might have to do some major research here…
A kindred spirit. Now I must rush out and see if my Target has them. I can think of several uses without even leaving this chair. Love your blog!
I’m curious where you got the drawers too. I like them alot.
Target has had the clearances this year, haven’t they? I can never seem to leave without spending a “c note!” (Scary!)
I’m bummed I missed the Make a Wish giveaway. I don’t know why I haven’t been checking the blog as regularly…oh yeah, maybe it has something to do with the great basement and kids’ room clean out (thanks to you!) and traveling (not for fun, unfortunately!) I had so many things I could have sent, but I’m so glad you collected such an amazing collection of things for her! You’re so wonderful to organize that!!!
Happy New Year (24 days late!)

yes, please tell us where to get drawers like that. I’m using a plastic drawer thing that is rickety and doesn’t even close well. Judy
I just discovered your blog and it is fantastic! Where did you get these drawers? They are great – and they look real cute!
