Organizing the craft room...again

Why do I need to organize my craft room? A few reasons: Greg is out of town for almost a week and I have a little time on my hands in the evenings.

BUT...I can't scrapbook or even finish the unfinished projects lying around because I cannot work in this environment!  Why do I let it get like this?  I am daring to post this very embarrassing photo hoping that the before and after contrast will bedazzle you.  Also, I wouldn't mind any and all of your tips on maintaining a tidy and organized workspace.  Please help!

And finally:  I decided it might help if I had a separate area for sewing and use the long table only for scrap booking/other crafts.  So, I searched all the thrifty places and found this little beauty.  She was a bargain, fairly sturdy (Greg helped shore her up a little more when I got her home), and full of character (meaning I could paint her wild colors and I wouldn't be ruining a priceless antique--I'll save that story for another post).  Oh, and she also fit in the back of the car.  Perfect.

The last few days have been spent sanding, painting, running all over town for more cans of paint and, yes, organizing/purging the craft room!  Photos coming soon.
