How big is the table you scrap at and is it big enough?
I ask because before I moved I used a standard computer desk. Now I have a 10ft table and I NEVER seem to have enough room (even still!). So, do you find you have enough room?
For me I just keep too much stuff on my desk. It goes in other places in the room but because my temporary scrapspace is so disorganzied I find myself just setting it "aside". Before I know it I cannot see the table! EKK!
How does your scrapsurface look these days?

Mine is my cutting table. 36x60. Right now it's not big enough because it's covered with junk because I'm in the middle of emptying the room to put a floor down. But I think once everything is back in place it will be enough room.

I took over my husbands computer desk when he went overseas. It has two levels, plus the pull out for the keyboard (which is where I keep my work in progress). I also have a 4x6 work table next to it forming a L shaped work area. Here is some of it..with my 3 year old hard at work...lol. Edited to add: I think no matter how big your work surface, you always ending up using all of it and wishing for more ~*Jackie*~

How cute!!!! Look at him just workin away! My boyfriend just bought me a new desk from staples for $60, it's an L shaped and I've been looking for one that I really like and most of them are either too expensive or just not what I want. This one, when I saw it, I HAD to have it even if it didn't fit IN my car I was going to put it on top! lol I'll have to take pics, it's wonderful! I still could use more space though because when I start to spread the paper out, it goes all over the place!

Aww, how cute!!!!
I took over my home office so I use my office desk which is a LARGE corner one. I have a decent amount of surface to work on WHEN I CLEAN UP ALL OF MY SCRAP CRAP! I tend to pull so much stuff out and then it accululates. I have to stop and do frequent clean ups to have room again LOL! I am still in the process of organizing and seeing what I need, so I think the future will be a little better LOL!

I have two 4'X6' tables side-by-side along one wall. It seems like a lot, but I have my sewing machine and table top ironing board on one end for my quilting and my scrapbooking stuff on the other.
I wold like to do built in cabinets with a countertop on them and have one end higher. It hurts my back to stand and cut etc. because the table is too low. I have a dream scrapbooking room and hope to pull it off someday. We'll see.

At the moment, I have just a small desk. But we are in the middle of redoing that room. (It used to belong to one of my step-children, although they don't love here anymore) We just fixed up the holes in the wall the other day. I gotta sand it this weekend if I find time, and then paint next week. After I get it painted DH is going to build me a bigger work surface, set up my new computer and build me some shelves in there. I can't wait til it's all done. I will take pics and show you all!!

I have a computer desk that is just for scrapping (no computer). I use the pull out drawer to store my 12" cutter and templates and rulers. It has a hutch on it and I have stuff on the shelves and I have those little 3 drawer Sterlite plasitc things along the top. I also have a Cropper Hopper storage cart on wheels next to it. And when I scrap, I put a tv tray behind me to hold my Cricut.

That pic is so cute Jackie!!! I love it! It's so organized too! What's yer secret? Sounds like most of us are guilty of cluttering up our space from time to time. OH well I cleaned my table off enough for the cat to come and sleep in front of me. Most of ya'll don't know "Polly", she's my cat that I adopted just under a year ago (she was a day old) anyway, she's got this craft obsession where she likes to lay RIGHT in front of me on my table! I think it's cause I got the heater underneath and it's all warm. Oh I need to take a pic!

I'm afraid to ask what happened to Polly's mommy if you got her at one day old I'd love to see a picture though! I have a kitty and finally talked hubby into letting me get another one, but it has to like dogs, other cats, kids, and be indoor only.

If I remember correctly, her mommy abandoned her at the flower shop that April used to work at. Then April moved her cross country with all the other animals
