Frequently Asked Questions

Question:
yes, Help !!! I am a mom of 3 and a "craftaholic" I have craft stuff in virtually every room of my home plus the garage... Where do I begin to organize this stuff?

Answer:
Excellent question! Here's some tips on where to begin and some "How to's":

  1. Plan a morning, or a few hours in a row when you'll get this project done. Schedule it in your calendar like you would any other appointment. Make sure you have coverage for the kids-a babysitter or even better, playdates out of the house.
  2. Bring all the craft materials together in one open space-use the outdoors if necessary!
  3. Group "likes" together. For example, all ribbon together, all pom-poms together-you get the idea. Try grouping them by type, rather than color-it's easier to put things into a few large categories instead of a lot of little categories.
  4. Evaluate how you use each grouping. Do you use some of them just for school, or just for holidays?
  5. And where do you do your crafts? In just one area or in more than one area? Is there storage in that area? Are there other things in that area that can be relocated elsewhere? Do you have one area that can be created for storage of all items?
  6. After you've answered the questions above, think about who will move the crafts from the storage area to the "doing/creating" area; You or the kids?
  7. Now you can think about the type of containers you need. Don't make the common mistake of buying containers first, before you categorize-you need to see what you have before you think of how to store it.
  8. Label each container clearly!

And FYI, B. Organized! is adding some large containers to the website in the next week or two-some of them are on wheels to make it easy for the kids to use-check your e-mail for updates!

Thanks for getting in touch with us-good luck with organizing your crafts and let us know how you do!

Question:
I need to find an organizer near me.

Answer:
The best way to find an organizer near you would be to call the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO): (512)454-8626 or by fax ((512)454-3036 and they can give you some names of organizers in your area. You can also try the yellow pages or telephone information if the service isn't listed in the business section.

Good luck and happy organizing!

Sincerely,
Jody Berman
