Generally the only empty space available for scrapping in my crafty area is on the top of my printer/scanner. Crazy.

We have a connection! Golly, I purchased a six foot table at Costco and I work in 24" of it. How does that happen? LOL!

YES YES YES! glad Im not alone gals!

I can relate too.....I'm lucky if I can make room for a 12x12 piece of cardstock most days

Boy can I ever relate! I have a huge beautiful studio in the basement--but I hate basements, so I always bring my stuff upstairs to the dining room table. Before I know it, I have stuff on the chairs surrounding the table, the adjacent floor and a dry sink sitting next to the table. I'm just lucky we don't usually eat on the dining room table!

You betcha, is there any other way to be creative?

So glad I am not the only one......I actually have two desks in one room that look like this...my scrapbook space and my office desk. Thank goodness for doors!

Totally. I should send you a photo of my space (aka DUMP) and you'll feel better.

I certainly can realte. I have a beautiful room that my husband remodeled just for me. But most of the time I will use the Island in my kitchen. I think I need aan Island in my room then I would be in here all of the time. :) My room is not big enough for the Isaland though. Oh well. :)

I can so relate! I keep taking pictures of my workspace for the Year in my Life update and it looks the SAME every year!!

and let me guess...everyone else is working right along side of you?! my scrapbook area shares a space with my son's toys...he has a ton of space to move around...where does he play? right under my feet.

I cannot tell you how happy your full working space makes me...I have issues with all that too, but I am an rookie!

Ali, is that you peeking into my craft room???? This is me to a "T". And I'm not sure how to get ahead of this nasty habit I have!!!

Yes...I can totally relate. My desk space got to small, so my hubby put a sheet of plywood on top of our pool-table...guess what, I still have to move things out of the way to have room to play.

Oh yes... the bigger my table, the smaller the space I end up working with. I try cleaning as constantly as possible but it's difficult... it is... Thanks for sharing...

I can definitely relate - I am a visual person so I need to spread out all the goodies I think I might need ... by the time I am done there is usually no room left for my layout! And whenever my fellow scrappers & I get together I am always the one who takes up the most space :)

Your Post made me smile . . . I am not alone!

Yup, looks exactly like my work space. I end up using a 12 x 12 square area directly in front of me. Makes my husband crazy!!

I think the same thing EVERY time I try to sit at my desk LOL.

Oh my gosh can I! You have more cleared desk space than I do. LOL

yup... it is just the way it goes.

YES!!! It doesn't matter if I'm working on an 8 foot table or a two foot one, I always managed to work myself into a teeny tiny space!!! I used to give myself a hard time for it, but I've realized over time, that working with all my 'stuff' surrounding me is just part of my creative proccess and I probably wouldn't know what to do in a more stark environment! (At least that's my story and I'm stickin' to it! :>) Thanks for sharing! :>

can sooo relate. and unfortunately i usually end up adding more work tables (that i find by the roadside just begging me to take them home and cover them w/ works in progress!!)

Looks like we are all in this together! What a great creative world we have...just a bit messy when you get it all out...that's the space we have left!
In my PERFECT WORLD, I dream of clean and clutter free, everything has a home, everything in it's home...but then...life's not "perfect"...and if it was all put away then we wouldn't be creating!
Have a goodie!

I find the more space I have, the bigger the mess. It grows until I can't find anything and am forced to put things away. I really do love to have my "stuff" around me. Oh no, do I sound like a hoarder?
