| That's a good way to go... I have mine organized by manufacturer but some that are obvious as to theme, into themes like hers and it works pretty well. |

| Yes, me too, Lois. I sort by manufacturer.... I see by my collections that I am a BG,  MME and 3 Bugs fan! LMBO! I have 2 paper racks for this type of sorting. As an offshoot of Colleen's idea, and like Colleen and you, I also have a Cropper Hopper paper holder that is in itself , a "section" for what I call "Miscellaneous and Dollarstore" (in my head, LOL) I have actually labelled it :Misc Patterned Papers" and those sorts of themes are within it.
My themes/types are: Black and white Birthday Seasons/weather Girly/Teen Christmas Stripes Dots Floral Paisley/Swirly/Wavy Misc (like pp with words on it, French language papers, etc...)

| Once I am done, I will take a photo. Once I got one done it lead me to start on another one so the floor is covered with more paper. DH thought a wind storm went through the room.  |

| I love my Cropper Hopper file, wish I had room for another one! I have my pps sorted in it by color both cardstock and misc pps together. Then I have one file for Coredinations and another file for G45 leftovers. There's a file called Special that contains the pretty misc pps that I run into. I like to have those all in one place so I can quickly go thru the specials. There's a file for BG solids and BG pps. And then I have a bunch of those plastic Craft Keepers envelopes and I keep collections in those. Once I use most of the collection, the remaining pps go either in the misc file and the scrap baskets. I am always beating myself up for having so much paper but I think I have less than most. All my paper fits in my Cropper Hopper plus about a 1 foot section on a bookcase.
How 'bout you? How much room does your collection take up? How high would it stack? Mine would stack less than 2' |

| Read this blog post, Angie Lucas explains in it how she organizes her paper and letters. http://www.angielucas.com/yeahwrite/2011/01/organization-tips.html Found the letter organization (the way she splits up the colours) particularly inspiring! |
