    Great information. I had to take a second look at the date here because the shelves in most of the stores in my part of the world look very, very sparse, nothing like the selection & variety shown in your stores. Thanks to inflation and internet shopping, there may be three baskets, two metal tubs and a few plastic bins available…if we’re lucky! So these days I’m making do with what I have and praying for better times and a better world.

      Hi @sharongates4699 , things are also getting more and more expensive here. A great activity here in spring and summer are garage and yard sales. I have found so many useful pieces for my creative endeavors, things that people just don't want anymore. My latest was a large desk top easel for just a few dollars. Have a look at what you have and see how you can repurpose them also. Happy hunting and happy creating. Much love. P.S. Curious to know where you are in the world? ❤❤❤

    What a lovely video. I love that you make the best of such a small space. I live in one room and manage to work quite comfortably. You are right to say that organization is the key.

    Reminds me of myself always trying something different. My grandkids would say, "I knew you were going to change it...again." It's a little frustrating but fun. Thank you for sharing. Your studio looks like an inviting place to work. Complete with plants. 😊

    Nice job! The problem of too many options is a well known one.. I am constantly reorganizing the smaller things. Especially after I went to the art supply store and need to make room for the new babies ;-)

    Thank you.After an accident I have an aquired brain injury so it is very hard to be organised.I love to re use and recycle but i have ended up with boxes and boxes!I found your video very helpfull,although i stat away from plastics I suppose sometimes it can help when on a not alot of money situ!Apreciate your soothing voice and music also.BLESSINGS.

      Thank you so much @morganniciomhair8284 for you beautiful heart felt comment. So glad you liked my video and found it useful. Sending you lots of love and blessing also. ❤
      P.s. I agree with you on plastics. The good news is that Steralite manufacturers state that their products are recyclable (back into hard plastics) and PVCs, Latex, Teflon, Phthalate Chemicals, fungicides, Bishphenol A (BPAs), or antibacterial chemicals are not used.😀

      @OpalInspired That's great news about the plastics.I did not know that.I was inspired to start organising my art room because of your video( note to self,I don't need 20 cardboard boxes because they might be usefull!Thank you Opall.Wishing you many happy times in your new space.

    Looks great! My sister just visited and helped me organize my basement. I still have to go through all my craft and art supplies to pare them down. It's a lot of work. You've given yourself many different options too!

      Thank you so much @lmeadow52. Yes, it is a lot of work but so worth it . Getting organized clears the space more creativity, sounds like you are ready to go!
