Hello Folks! Well, this is it! This is the year I keep my craft goods organized and under control! Yay, yay I know you've heard it before but for real this time....right along with being healthier and shedding a few pounds. Anyone else with me?
Over Christmas break I locked myself away in the craft mess to sort, purge and reorganize (Thank you Frank for keeping the kids busy while I worked). My main motivation was the new craft table I found. That and in this mess I couldn't possibly create anything...
Pretty sad huh? (I thought I had more before pictures but I think this one shows my heaps of chaos.)
Anyway, one of my main frustrations with my area was my small work space (now my cutting area). The photo below shows what my space use to be...I think it measures 27 x 19 inches. 
So, I often dreamed of owning something like the Original Scrapbox EZ view desk. However $500 seemed beyond steep to me. So, I waited and searched for something more affordable. I final came across some clearance cabinets at Home Depot. When put with some inexpensive counter top you get this....
All for the bargain price of $138. It's 4 feet by 2 feet of crafting space!
Not to totally bore you with lots of photos of my newly organized space but here are a few more views of the Cupojafa Studio! (click on the photo for a larger view)
My space is in the unfinished part of our basement....also known as the laundry room...but Cupojafa Studio sounds cooler=).
Close up of ribbon and embellishment storage (above).
Buttons and paper (below).
Last but not least, I wanted to show you the cool vinyl cling my friend Sara made for me quite awhile ago. It's finally up because now I feel I have a space worthy to display it. Oh, and for those of you who don't know Cupojafa is the name I use on Splitcoast Stampers. It's also a combination of my favorite drink and my families initials.
Hope you all have enjoyed a "walk" through my creative space.
Have a beautiful weekend!
Happy Creating and God Bless!

Jen, love it;) The vinyl looks great.
Love, love, love your space! The button jars make me want to sit down and get all crafty. This is awesome. That is awesome you were able to get a bigger space to work with. And the old space being used by the cuttlebug. Very creative!
Jen, your space looks awesome!! I finally reorganized my piles of crafting supplies, (just a shelf by the dining room table), and just being organized totally gets the creative juices flowing. I even did 2 different card designs. Your work inspires me and gives me good ideas, if only I had your talent!!
