Firstly, thank you to everyone for all the lovely welcomes and comments last week.
Now I have a confession to make and it's the reason I haven't joined in with WOYWW before:
"My name is Lou and I am a tidy scrapper"
there I said it!
This is what my workdesk normally looks like:
I can't help it, honestly it's an illness!
Anyway, now I have confessed, I thought I'd share some pics of the rest of my room as it's newly decorated and I LOVE it! *WARNING - PIC OVERLOAD COMING UP*!
My room is what estate agents would call "bijou" i.e. tiny, but it suits me fine as everything is within reach!
Just inside the door is a tall DVD unit with die cutting at the bottom
and stamps at the top (in A5 folders)
Then on the wall above my desk I have these cute shelves with buttons, mists, stickles etc
Then above that these cute ikea units with stuff I don't use quite as often
Every inch of space is used - even the windowsill which houses my ribbons and my cricut expression
Under the desk hides my bin *must buy a pink one* and my ickle fridge
Then to the right of my desk a 4x2 expedit with minibooks, alterables etc at the top (boring stuff at the bottom so haven't shown it!) and my DVD player sits on top
The wall behind my desk has 2 big expedit units on their side on top of each other, along the top is my "gallery" *cue cheesy Tony Hart music*
The top row houses my tools; sewing machine, bigshot, BIA etc
Next row down is sewing stuff, laminator and heat tool then buckets with adhesives etc. Under that are my alphas, stickers, chipboard etc
These trays hold my kits and scraps and the pink rack holds 8x8 and 6x6 pads
Papers are stored by manufacturer, with bazzill below and my trimmers etc
Then the bottom row (no pic) has my completed albums mini books etc.
Apologies for the lengthy post, but I hope you've enjoyed the tour!

hi lou thanks for sharing your gorgeous crafty space and it's nice to meet another tidy crafter...hugs kath xxx
It's like looking at one of those crafting showrooms that you see on the famous designers blogs and in magazines. Simply beautiful and no matter how small - I'm jealous of your own private space to craft. And a fridge too - I'd never come out!
P.s I loved Tony Hart :D
Oh my goodness your room is fantastic....soooo tidy!!! please come to mine and tidy it up!!! Do you craft in there??? My whole bungalow at this moment is like a bomb has dropped....just for making three things!! Tesco jars for your ribbons? I have some, and they've raised the price from £1 to £1.75 in my local store...I thnk they've cottoned on why they are selling so many!!
Have a great WOYWW!

Wow, what a fabulous craft room. You have packed an amazing amount of stuff into it. I wish I could keep mine as neat but I just don't seem to have it in me to be tidy.

Ohhhhhh Emmmmmm Geeeeee!
*swoon* I love your room!

Oh wow! Finally someone who is even more neat than me! I love that you have everything standing there in neat rows. And those shelves look so unique and colourfull! This is one tour to remember (and why do I suddenly feel a greet need to go to Ikea? :D)
Thanks for the very lovely (late) snoop.
Have a nice day!

LOVED it! Thanks for the tour, and I'm another tidy crafter so I really appreciated it, in fact you made me feel messy! Loved all the pink bits too as I have those as well!
Yep ...that is tidy ...love your space ...so well organized. How abour taking a shot while you are crafting ...before you have to tidy xx
LOVED the tour, love your space and am so sorry that you've been put off joining WOYWW earlier because you're tidy! It's not an illness Lou - it's an incredible skill. Gorgeous room - it would be a constant inspiration to me.
It looks like you have made great use of a tiny space. I salute you.
Wow, look at all that organisation!It looks totally fabulous. I would never have thought of using those Expedit units on their sides. Brilliant!
I was wondering about those myself... I may just have to keep thinking though!
Chrissie
Oh if only I were that organised - need to work on my storage!
OMG what a fantastic room and stash, and I would consider being compulsively clean a gift not an illness. Congrats on your new position with PPA.
