[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Linda Eastment thank you so much for your kind comment, Linda! I’m so glad that you love having an organised and tidy space too. I find that I create better that way. Thank you so much for watching! :)

[@jennifer9084]

You've organized your drawers in a way that makes sense to me as I've watched many of these videos and find that once they open them up they aren't as organized as I was hoping. I now have ideas on how to organize my drawers better that I was struggling to figure out how.

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Thank you so much, Jennifer. I am really glad that you found the video helpful. I do find that storage containers in drawers help a lot to keep things neat and tidy. Thank you for watching :)

[@Wendyrocler]

I enjoyed every minute of the lovely tour of your super organized craft room. Thanks for sharing your fabulous tips on organization.

[@lucyorta3998]

Uh, AMAZING!! I was cleaning up my craft room as I am going to have 5 ladies over to work on December Daily next weekend. Guess I need to keep at it. The more I designate permanent homes for everything the easier it gets.

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Thank you so much for your kind comment. I hope you had a wonderful crafting weekend. Yes, that is it, once everything has a home, it is a lot easier to keep on top of it. Thank you for watching :)

Seriously, Michelle, you have the MOST organized craft room I have EVER seen, and trust me, I watch ALL the craft room tour videos I can find LOL. My space is probably 10 feet by 10 feet and it is a mess. I am totally frustrated and I know I have to do something about it. Thanks, so much, for sharing!

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Nancy Lynn thank you so much, Nancy! I think my room is easier to keep clean and tidy because it’s so small! I often think that helps sometimes. Plus I seem to organise just as much as I craft! Thank you so much for watching, I really appreciate it! I hope you have a great weekend! :)

[@tassidestinyart6960]

Beautiful Craft room ❤❤❤

[@mariskaritfeld]

Oh my word! Your craft room is so neat and tidy. Mine is a big mess. My craft space is a small corner in the guest room. Luckily the next visitor arrives in 6 weeks so I still got time to do a big cleaning session 😃. I've got the Raskog cart and the Alex drawers but still undecided on how to organise and what to store where. Your video has inspired me 😁. Thanks for sharing!

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Mariska Ritfeld yay! I’m so glad that I could inspire you, Mariska! I hope you enjoy getting your space organised. If you lived closer I would come and help you! Thank you so much for watching :)

[@pamfarr7761]

I really love your room!! I hope you don't mind me copying it. I have been looking at different videos for ideas and inspiration on how I want mine to be. Let me give you a little back story, if you don't care. It's going to be a little while before I actually get one. So I'll probably get to see your video of next year before mine is even ready. But yours is the closest to what I have pictured in my head that I want. Of course mine will be different color on the walls and some of the items will be a different color also. But I am so glad that I came across your video. I heard you mention that some of the items were not available any more. I can work around that. I have a beauty supply store close to me that I think that I can get some of those items from. But to sum all this up, I love your craft room ❤❤ Happy crafting.

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Pam Farr thank you so much for your kind comment, Pam. I do not mind at all if you copy it. I am really glad to have inspired you! I hope that you are able to get your craft room soon. Thank you so much for watching! :)

[@magdazaremba9663]

[@PinkPeppermintCards]

Wow! I always swoon at your craft room! It looks like a beautiful tranquil place to craft. Love the ink cube storage draws...defo on my wish list! I’m really struggling with dividing my stamps sets so was wondering what pockets you trim down and get the rounded corners? Thanks for sharing! Elaine x

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Pink Peppermint Cards thank you so much, Elaine. I am really glad that you like it. For my stamp dividers, I use swing clip folders that I cut down to the same width as the Avery Elle storage pockets but just a bit taller. I then round the top two corners with the WRNK Corner Rounder Punch. I know a lot of people use cardstock and laminate them which is a good idea too. I hope that helps. Thank you so much for watching! Hope you have a lovely weekend! x

[@PinkPeppermintCards]

Oh lovely that’s great I’ll see what I can find 👍 Laminating also sounds like a great option...hadn’t thought of that! Have a great weekend too 😊 x

[@BeadCraftBabe]

Beautiful craft room. Tfs!

EVELYN CReAtiVa thank you so much! :)

[@maryrosebrayton2946]

Fabulous! Thank you so much.

[@gaylacrawford768]

Did you get your desk from ikea as well? I'm looking for desks that are a little bit higher but not standing just so I can store a few cabinets underneath and have a little space/gaps to place my other media mats etc that I use often when I'm doing mix media. I love how you utilized your space it does look so much bigger than what it may be. Sadly I lost having widows in the space that I have, however, I do have lots of light to brighten up my space. So I will not complain at all. Thank you for showing your amazing space.

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Gayla Crawford thank you so much for your kind comment, Gayla. No, the desks are from www.storage4crafts.co.uk I couldn’t find the size that I wanted from Ikea and as you say, I like the ones I have because they are slightly higher than the Ikea ones. Although I do think you might be able to get adjustable legs in the Ikea now? Thank you so much for watching! :)

[@Hall_Meli]

Wow, talk about #CraftRoomGoals. I found this by looking up craft room tours in hopes of finding some inspiration for my mom's sewing/craft area that we're trying to set up. I used to scrapbook a ton but once I started college, I didn't keep up with it & now I'm backlogged about 14 years XD But I love all of your organization solutions - everything has a place! I'd love to find something similar to those little metal Tim Holtz tins...I could use those a ton! I'll be subscribing to your channel because there are apparently a few mediums that I've never heard of that I need to know more about. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration & tour :)

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Skwerwl thank you so much for your kind comment. I am so glad that you enjoyed watching. I hope that I could inspire you for your mom’s space and I hope that you’ll be able to finish your scrapbooks one day. Thank you so much for watching and subscribing too, I really appreciate it! :)

[@user-hh1bb9rs2q]

I love your room. Can you tell me the name of the desk? I am not sure if i missed the name of it. Also the name or where did you get the clear acrylic containers inside your alex units

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Creating Happy 2020 Thank you! The desk is from Storage4Crafts.co.uk. It is linked in the description box and on my blog. I believe that they only do one desk but in different depths. I have the deepest one. The acrylic containers inside my Alex units ate by InterDesign and they are drawer organisers. I hope that helps, thank you so much for watching!

[@znycelondon5313]

Love your creation space. What did you use on the spine of your binders?........they look like similar to drawer plates😊 New subscriber.🌹

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Z'Nycé London they were already on the binders when I purchased them but yes, they are like bookplates :) Thank you so much for watching and subscribing too. So glad that you liked it!

[@lilianamariauribecadavid1801]

Hi Michelle. Can you tell me where you got the round organizer you have in the corner? the one where you keep the scissors, the rules and so on. I love your workshop and I always follow you.

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Liliana María Uribe Cadavid thank you so much! It is from the Great Little Trading Company. The link is listed in the description box as GLTC Spinning Desk Organiser. Thank you for watching! :)

[@CardsbyMaaike]

I have the turqoise Helmer, want a second one. my room is also 100% Ikea I think, it's so handy esp if they're in the town you live, even without car

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

They didn't have that colour when I purchased mine years ago but I love anything turquoise! Really glad to hear that you love Ikea too, Maaike. Thank you so much for watching! :)

[@jeanneschmidt491]

Very organized and pleasant room! Are the two desks you have from Ikea? They appear to be a bit taller than the storage units that are under them.

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Ive just moved house and I have so/much craft stuff we have put it in one of the garages, the craft stuff goes right up to the ceiling and wall to wall. I am 61 and been crafting since i was three years old. I have some really old stuff that is still usable. We are going to have a craft cabin built, I cant wait. Thankfully there is lots of room in the house to do some crafting in the house. Thing is I do every craft you can think of. My husband says there is something mentally wrong with me as I nee to have so much ‘crap’ (his word for my craft stuff). Any tips for the best cupboards and shelves you find good. xxxAnnxxx

[@paulafield5299]

Ann's Crafty Littler Things I feel your pain. My husband doesn't understand my card making hobby, once said wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy a card from the shop.

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

A craft cabin sounds wonderful! If you do a lot of different crafts then supplies will quickly mount up but the great thing is, most craft supplies, as you have found out, last for years and years so although your husband calls it 'crap' at least it is still usable all these years later and has brought you a lot of pleasure over the years creating. I really like the Ikea shelving units. I find them good value for money and very sturdy. I like that you can move the shelves around to suit your needs too. I wish you all the best with it! Thank you for watching xx

Nice video Michelle! I really like how you have organized your stamps and dies in the Hemnes glass door unit from Ikea. I saw your link below but I was still haven’t trouble locating the unit you featured in your video. Could you add a link to your comment response? Tfs!

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Memory Lane Keepsakes thank you so much! I’m sorry, it seems that it is no longer on the UK website but it’s here on the US one - www.ikea.com/us/en/p/hemnes-glass-door-cabinet-white-stain-90371770/ It’s a great cabinet! Thank you so much for watching! :)

I love your craft room because it is so light and airy. I am getting my shipment of Ikea furniture around Sept. 2 and want to paint my room before that. What color are the walls in your room? They are so pretty. If you mentioned it in your video and I missed it, I'm sorry but would love to know.

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Hi Carole, please accept my apologies for the delay in replying. I have only just seen your comment. The colour is Mint Macaroon by Dulux. I am not sure if you have that where you are but it is a colour match for MFT Sno Cone. Once again, I apologise for the delay in replying but good luck with your new room. I hope that it is going well.

[@Kimmcdougalcrafter]

Beautiful craftroom! Love how you organize your crafty goodies and I love the paint on your walls, what color is that?

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Kim L. McDougal thank you so much for your kind comment. The walls are Mint Macaroon by Dulux. It’s such a pretty colour! Thank you for asking and for watching!

[@Kimmcdougalcrafter]

Michelle, thank you so much for replying! I just think that color is so relaxing! I wouldn't want to leave your craft room at all! LOL!

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Kim L. McDougal thank you! If you can’t find it where you are, it’s the exact same colour as MFT Sno Cone cardstock, so you might be able to colour match it :)

Hi! Great video! What type of dust collector do you have? I’m trying to find one..

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Thank you so much! Sorry, I am not sure what you mean by dust collector? I use microfibre cloths and a mini hand vac to clean up. Please can you clarify and I am happy to help!

[@genahebert4]

Michelle Short I’m sorry I’ve been watching a lot of videos of diy dust collectors, and I thought that ur mat was some type of grill, over a vent lol..sorry for that..still love ur video cuz I love to organize and just getting started w nails, (mostly dip)..ty again ❤️

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Gena Hebert no problem at all! No, sorry. It’s just a regular craft mat. Good luck with the nails, you need lots of organising for those bits too so hopefully you still got some ideas :) Thank you for replying!

[@margaretf667]

Using the glitter is what you should do. Throwing away mean land fill and not used. The worst that can happen with glitter is washing down the sink, I've seen it in Bath bomb kits 😭

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

That's what I mention in my video. Not to wash it down the sink. I haven't thrown any of it away, I am trying to use it up and then not buy any more unless it is eco-friendly. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Hi , Michelle, Please can you.... HELP.... my paper trimmer has given up the ghost so I desperately need a new one can you suggest one for me Thank you I would really appreciate your help all the best have a nice week Lin 🦋💞🐕

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Linda Eastment I always recommend the Tonic and Tim holtz guillotines. I love mine! I have the 12” one, as well as the mini and they are always sharp. I have only ever used a mini paper trimmer type and that was from Fiskars which was good but I much prefer the guillotine type ones. I hope that helps. I hope you have a lovely weekend! :)

Is it important to store markers and pens horizontally rather than vertically? I love your craft room! You have a great sense of style.

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Thank you so much! It depends on the markers. Most markers will say on the barrel which way they need to be stored if there is a preference. I believe that most double ended water based markers should ideally be stored horizontally, like Distress Markers (as well as some single ended like Arteza and Zig) but most alcohol based markers can be stored either vertically or horizontally (except for Tonic alcohol markers which need to be horizontal). Some pens specifically need to be stored vertically, like Tonic Aqua Flow or any with a valve. Most fine liners can be stored either way but Copic Multiliners should be stored horizontally. I hope that helps! Thank you so much for watching.

[@SheerStitchery]

Such a great way to store your cardstock! Love it! I'm going to try this for my craft room!
