I am so excited that this weekend is Daylight Savings Time, I'm really looking forward to more sunshine!  We desperately need it here in Ohio after all the snow we've gotten this year.  As spring approaches, I am going into full out cleaning mode.   Today I wanted to share with you how I organize my Big Shot and all the accessories that go with it.  Here's what my Big Shot Station looks like. My Big Shot Station has lots of space and is completely separate from my desk.  When we built our house ten years ago, I got a room of my own in the basement plus an extra cabinet from the kitchen.

Today I have a tip for you instead of a card.  Remember the Valentine treat that I made out of a plastic baby food container??  Well, I have another use for those containers that I'd like to share with you. I love to save containers of all sizes to either upcycle or use in some way.  The plastic baby food containers are so handy for many things.  My favorite use is storage in my craft room.  I keep extra punch outs and die cuts neatly organized in containers and on a shelf for easy access.  I can't tell you how much time I've saved by just reaching for a container and already having a butterfly die cut ready to go. I will usually die cut extra butterflies or hearts whenever I make a card so I have extras for when I'm in a hurry.  And my 8 year old daughter loves to dig through my extras and make cards of her own. I hope you enjoyed today's quick organizing tip!  See you tomorrow for this week's Thursday Challenge from Create with Connie and Mary...
