 <\/p>\n

This OG Guide was sparked by a crazy week I had recently.<\/h5>\n

It was ‘shipping week’ for our January, 2017 kit… and I decided it would also be our last shipment from our garage.<\/p>\n

Here’s what it looked like out there, about 2\/3 of the way into it\u00a0(we could barely move around each other, OR get around the pallets of boxes):<\/i><\/p>\n

I’d kept it in the house as long as I could, but …<\/p>\n

We couldn’t move, we couldn’t stay organized, and with new members joining every month, I knew it would only get worse and worse.<\/p>\n

So, I finally made the leap, and signed the lease for our very first “OG Headquarters”!<\/p>\n

We finally have room to move and get organized! It definitely needed a little fixing up, but it had lots of space to work & grow. We might even begin holding classes one day soon, because there is a nice big open area in the front:<\/p>\n

Here’s what things are looking like now that we’ve been here for a few months…<\/p>\n

Speaking of organization…<\/h4>\n

One topic that I notice keeps coming up in our private group, is fabric, ribbon, and craft supply storage. There have been some fantastic ideas shared by our members, and I’m including a few of them below. I also want to show you some of the solutions I’ve used over the years, too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Organizing Fabric…<\/h3>\n

I did this to my fabric several years ago, after seeing the idea on a craft blog. While I’m now buying fabric in bulk and having to store that separately, this idea still works great for my personal stash and smaller pieces.<\/p>\n

You can read more about this idea, right\u00a0HERE<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Storing Ribbon…<\/h3>\n

I\u00a0store my ribbon in shallow, stackable plastic drawers, like this:<\/p>\n

\"ribbon-storage\"<\/p>\n

What I like about this solution? I can easily see what I have, it stays clean and dust-free, and it’s easy to grab what I need.<\/p>\n

The downside is that over time, the ribbon can get pretty jumbled, and I have to go back and straighten it up pretty often.<\/p>\n

All Those Embellishments…<\/h3>\n

A long time ago, I made\u00a0this magnetic board<\/a>\u00a0(covered in Elvis pics!) to store all my beads and charms. I’ve since moved and it got ruined (boo), but I still have all my beads in these little metal containers, in a big, shallow drawer so I can see all of them.<\/p>\n

Why Don’t You Try…<\/h3>\n

… getting your craft supplies organized!\u00a0And don’t feel guilty about spending the time doing it, either.<\/i><\/b>\u00a0Nothing gets the creativity flowing like organizing and playing with all your craft stuff. :)<\/p>\n
