Excellent ideas on making scrapbook pages. The ideas on storage options are phenomenal! The examples of both messy and organized workplaces showed real world issues. Loved this book.

There were elaborate organizational systems, most taking way more space than I have available. They
were interesting to see, so maybe I've tucked away some ideas for later use. The immediate benefit of the book was categories or subjects. I want to separate my stickers and ideas in categories such as: animals/pets/zoo, baby/small children, birthday/celebration/party, Christmas, Disney, eras (1970s, 1980s), fall/leaves/halloween, floral/garden, hearts, heritage/Victorian, school/graduation, sports/travel/vehicles, water/beach/pool, wedding, winter/snow. Boy, would it be helpful to only need one set of page decorations to use at a time.

I think this book would be good for any type of crafter or artist.I am endlessly cleaning my studio and this book gave some new ideas in organizing that I feel will help in keeping my studio clean.

It gave many different storage solutions, creating a plan of action (including budget and floor plan worksheets), tips for cutting out the clutter of supplies and help in maintaining your now organized space.

Great pictures, good solutions (for every budget), easy to understand ideas!

This was the second scrapbooking book that I bought. It taught me how to care for, plan and organize my scrap space, tools and supplies. I didn't know anyone who was a scrapbooker and I was hoping this would help me get an overview of organization for my new hobby. This book covered planning and organizing and tips for maintaining organization for efficiency.

If I read this book when it was published I think it would have been helpful. So much has changed in the scrapbooking industry over the past 12 years that the information was dated and not as relevant. I still enjoyed the book though and got a few good ideas.

I didn't find this very helpful at all. Nothing you couldn't figure out yourself wandering through a craft store.
