Everything in its place

While I am still trying to organize and find a home for everything in my craft room, I find that I am very cheap.  I mean, why would you spend $40 on a drawer to hold things that you only bought for 99¢??

So while I realize I am a cheapskate {ha!}, I spend probably too much time online looking for cheap new ways to store and organize.  About a year ago I noticed that I was holding onto a LOT of scrap paper.  It was just throw all over, every thing I opened up, more scrap paper.  I came across a great blog that mentioned the use of USPS flat rate boxes.  They store the 12" length just perfectly....however after the year, they needed HELP!

I did move them down to my room, for lack of anything else to use.  I hate every second of it.   While searching and searching, I knew I wanted to use the wide Sterilite drawers, but again I am way to cheap to spend $13 on 3 drawers.   Then I found it!!  Walmart graciously offers these same drawers in a pack of 3 {that's 9 drawers} for only $30 if you buy online.  Site to Store, shipping is free.   I'm in, SOLD!   Much happier, it finally feels like they are PUT AWAY!
