Here are wise words and ideas from my fave scrappy gal, Lain Ehmann~

Note from Lain (in an email)
One of the questions I get asked more than any other is, how do I store my scrapbook supplies? The simple answer is that I have a series of Iris storage bins that I use to sort by project, by theme, and by manufacturer.

I love these bins for several reasons:
1. They're flexible - I can make them work for a number of different purposes, in a number of different spaces.

2. They're inexpensive. They cost less than $10 each.
3. They're large enough to hold a bunch of 12x12 paper, with plenty of room for embellishments and even a few tools.

I can pack up a bin to take to a crop, or just use them to store my goodies at home. Flexible, strong, and cheap. Just what I like!
