Organizing my carts

I love these Ikea carts.
They hold so many goodies ;)
That is a good thing..unless you are like me and just keep putting stuff in it, hoping to organize it later.






















Yes I have two of them.
And yes they are both in a big unorganized mess.
I am in the process of organizing both of them.
The grey one is kept upstairs for when I do my crafting while watching a movie.
I want to keep my *Travel tote* upstairs as it has all my necessities for paper crafting. Then I can just take it out of here when we are on our way to the cottage.
Once I get them organized to suit me perfectly, I will share the finished carts and what are in each one.
It may take me the whole long weekend to figure it out though ;)
Today was a real nice day.
Not the weather mind you.
Wayne was going to go and plow the cottage roads, but it was still snowing, blowing and it was cold.
It was a great day as my oldest daughter Ashley invited us all to her house for lunch.
She and her boyfriend made a great Valentines supper of 4 cheese spinach dip with baked pita chips, shrimp Au gratin, chicken with bacon carbonara. They had so much left over.
It was a delicious.
I have to laugh at Sebastian as he loves straws. He will take it right out of the glass and then run away with it.
Ashley has a photo of him, that it looks like he is drinking out of a straw, teehee.
If you haven't yet, go to yesterday's post *Giveaway Post* and leave a comment to be entered…I know you wanna ;)

I hope you all had a creative Saturday :)

  1. That looks pretty stormy!

    Those raskog carts are gorgeous. I love the aqua but the grey would fit in anywhere! Look forward to the post where you organize it!

  2. What a great post, Tracy. There is nothing like getting organized - in our craft rooms AND in life in general. It helps things run so much more smoothly, which ultimately helps us accomplish more. I always enjoy seeing your sweet creations.

  3. Oh I can't wait to see your organization on the carts! Do you find it difficult to get to the 2 bottom trays? I really like it for its compact portability but there doesn't seem to be much room height-wise between each level? I guess it also depends on what's put in them. Right now our dining chairs look like your carts -piled high with creative crafty supplies ;) Ashley's home looks so cozy. I'm glad you all had a great day :)

    Anyway, I am waiting eagerly to see what happens with the Ikea carts as I could really do with some organisational inspiration! ;-)

  8. Those carts look great looking forward to seeing them organized and what you put in them. I have a small one at the lake for when I craft then I have everything in one spot and don't lose something in the couch.Sweet picture of Sebastian, he is so adorable.I am partial to black cats since I am servant to one.

  12. Laughing at your pics of your carts, Tracy - I have the grey one, but it's empty - I seem to be unable to decide what to put in it (probably 'cos I'm afraid it'll end up like your blue one!!!!). Your grey one looks super-organised and convenient, though!

  16. I love those carts too! I have one in my bathroom. No room in my scrap area, unless I get rid of the computer desk and move it else where. That does look like nasty weather out.
