Workspace (Video)

Alright guys and gals, I've got a video to share with you. Nancy (hi Nancy!) emailed me first thing this morning and asked if I could show more of what I store around my workspace, and any additional info I cared to share. Instead of taking 30 still-photos, I thought I'd brave a short video! Hope this helps you, Nancy!

Honestly, I could have talked for an hour. Haaha! I rushed it into 11 minutes for you, and just hit some highlights.

Also, here is some info worth noting:

Copic Retail Display: I don't have a link for you; I actually ordered mine from a wholesaler. However, if you are in desperate need of one for yourself and cannot find one, I could potentially order one for you. Shipping is going to be heafty, so only serious inquiries, please. Also, I say potentially because it's not an item that is always "in stock", so your patience level must be high. If you want to try and find one online (expect the price to be high!), search for Empty Copic Sketch/Various Ink Retail Display. You might get lucky.

Colored Pencil Storage: This is a display unit I purchased (if I remember correctly) at a used retail fixture display store in Portland, Oregon years ago. I believe it was a point-of-purchase display rack that would have been used at a register counter for selling pens or pencils, or possibly even bookmarks, or small reader glasses. Turns out that it works perfect for my pencils! You might try searching eBay for Acrylic display and see what you find... I know I've seen similar items listed, but nothing exactly like the unit I have. Bummer too, because I'd love a second one!

HOLLY COW~!!! When did you get so organized Anna? Can I come live with you~~I'll look after the goats :) And I adore that Hobby Lobby wooden storage unit with the librian-style drawers. You put my craft room to shame :D

[Jami Sibley]

That was very fun to watch and hear Anna! Thanks for making the video!

I'm impressed! When are you going to announce the TV deal with Martha? or the Opra network? And to think this all started coloring on the lumpy rug at Gramma's on rainy days! ( But the art degree probably helped)........... Love, Dad

[Carol Dee]

Wow......!!! Thank you so much for sharing such great storage ideas. I still have a long ways to go to make my room as organized!

[Danielle]

Can I just say...OMG! I thought I had a lot of ink pads and glitter! Girl, you win! My craft room in under construction (second coat of spackle just went on, yay!) and I only hope I can be half as organized as you are. I've been picking up all sorts of storage containers and shelves and whatnot over the years (yes, I said years) while I waited for my room to be ready...so here's to keeping my fingers crossed! Thanks so much for sharing your awesome craft space Anna! You rock!

[Yvonne]

Anna, it's GREAT!!! I have the 6x6 drawers and never thought about putting 6x6 paper pads in there, PERFECT! Thank you! Every time I come to your blog i just want to lock myself in my room and create! You are SUCH an inspiration. thank you so much for sharing your creative zone! Once mine is finished, I'll share it with you.

Great video with great storage ideas. Thanks for sharing!!

[RitaK]

Thank you very much. It was great to see that I am not the only one who have so much crafty things. And thank you for the inspiration to tidy up, because I really need to make some new systems in my craft room. Yours are extremely tidy ;-)

I am amazed by your beautiful and inventive organization schemes. Great storage ideas!

[Kim Ross]

I love the Copic retail display. I got one a while ago from Oozak. http://www.oozak.com/proddetail.php?prod=COPCSV-DISP

HTH! :)

[Barb S]

Anna, I am amazed by your beautiful and inventive organization schemes. The things that give me the biggest headaches are paper and stamps. How do you organize colors, brands, and patterns of paper? And how do you store stamps? Drawers? By brand, theme?

Thanks so much for doing the video tour!

P.S. Sending you some cool New England air -can you feel it yet?

Thanks

Great video, Anna! I used to keep my Copic reinkers in containers very similar, on a spice rack hanger on the back of my craft room door! Love your storage for 6-inch paper pads ... mine have become "overgrown" and I was searching for a solution, so thanks!
