After how many years (too many to count) of moving and reorganizing my crafts. Not to mention all the youtube videos and craft sites and blogs trying to figure out my craftroom...DUH? it finally dawned on me, it wasn't my crafts but the actual crafting area. If you look at all the previous posts, my craft area FACES A WALL and I was in a corner. I'm always facing a wall.....UGH!!!! THAT WAS THE PROBLEM!!! at least for me. That is why I finally put my crafting area (sort of) in the middle of the room and I'm NOT facing a wall. I can look all around......it feels so much better!!!! So in the before posts I had my crafting area on shelving units (Container Store) and the jetmax cubes were always near by.......I've done the opposite NOW! The shelving units are in the closet holding my excess crafts and the jetmax cubes are now my crafting area. The boards that create my craft area are 48"l x 24"w and I have 2 of them so my area is 48" x 48"...COOL HUH!!! and the jetmax cubes support the boards.

This is the entrance to my room (on the far right is my computer area, which is still a disaster-no pics). As you view the pics notice the boards and jetmax cubes.
LOOK FAMILIAR??? I didn't get to move into the room I wanted, so I moved back into this room.
