Fred, I do use the computer to make cards from photos, but a lot of them are made with bits and pieces that are stuck on. Thanks for all your suggestions, I think I need another 'office'. i use one of the spare bedrooms and, of course, most of the filing space is taken up with Family research. I do have several drawers devoted to craft but I think I need a few of the boxes people have suggested. it is only this time of year i get swamped, the rest of the year it is mostly birthday cards. I would be interested to know what sort of cards people make. I use a lot of photos, outline stickers, craft paper, sometimes I use stamps but that is not my favourite medium. I have a friend who paints her cards, but then she is clever. Ann glos Ann Glos

Is it not possible to load all your gear onto the puter Anne,and then use it ,and your scanner and printer to make the cards,that way there will be no bits and pieces to store.Fred.ptfg.

My mum runs a sideline making handmade cards/wedding invites etc. She picks up cheap tool boxes in homebase for her fiddly bits - not the big one for hammers and drills but the ones with little drawers for screws etc. She sticks on the front of the drawer whats inside so it looks quite pretty Big gardening places sometimes stock seed holders which are along the same lines

i dont but my mum does she has a fileing cabinet for all her bits/bob's she keep's it in her dinning room

I usually make about 50 Christmas cards and have just started this years batch. When i first started making them not many people did it and it was difficult to get trimmings, card blanks etc. Now they are everywhere and we are spoilt for choice. The problem is, where and how do you store all your bits and pieces. I have just retrieved mine from various drawers, boxes etc and I am snowed under. Any good ideas on storage. Ann Glos
