Organizing Cartridges and Blogoversary Update

Have you ever looked for an object and been frustrated because you could not put your hand on it immediately?  I know I sure have been. I decided it was time to organize my Cricut cartridges to a system that was user and space friendly.  After seeing a post the other day about organizing, I thought what a great idea. I need to do that! So, I purchased a couple photo boxes at Michaels since they were on sale 3 for $5.00.

This morning I began alphabetizing and documenting titles on dividers.

Then I created a binder for the carts. My daughter helped with the sewing. My binder may not be the prettiest, but it sure is easy to use! Until I come up with another idea, I think this is going to work much better.

 I used a sheet protector with a piece of colored cardstock and divided it into 3 columns.

Then my daughter sewed on the lines that I had drawn. I cut a slit on the top of each pocket to store each individual cartridge. They will also be filed in ABC order on each page.

I would love to know how you organize some of your supplies. Here are my buttons and brads.

I bought these boxes at Joanns for $1.99 minus the coupon that gives a 40% discount. This system works great. I sure do like being able to go to one section and look for the size or shape since they are sorted by color. 

 Now I need to work on organizing my gems and florals. Any suggestions?

Lastly, I am going to share the next batch of goodies I bought yesterday since I now have 600 followers. The metallic cardstock is awesome. Plus there are some brads, ribbons, and frames. I may take another trip to a different set of stores in the Villages this week, so there could be even more.  I would like to add some buttons and craft thread. :)
