We all started out with those little boxes to fit just this little bit of stuff in, then when we accomplished to make our supplies pour out over those we got a little bit bigger boxes and storage units until finally we had to get the big or super size boxes!
Just a little advice, those little boxes and organizers are great, but think big. Its going to happen and sooner or later you are going to have to get bigger organizers to fit all your scrapbooking supplies.
Think twice before purchasing! Look it over and make sure its going to be something that you will use and if you grow out of it you can us it to store something else.
My one downfall was the scrapbooking bag. My first one was just a small one. Lets face facts they are sooooo expensive. I eventually and not long after grew to a bigger bag until finally I ended up buying one of the large bags. My whole idea was not to have to drag 3 or 4 bags to the scrapbooking crops. I am here to tell you I wasted so much money in those 3 bags to ge the one I really wanted. So now I have them all sitting in a corner and rarely use 2 of the 3! My advice is to think before you purchase. Question yourself on how often you will use it, How much stuff are you going to fill it with and is there another use you can make of it if it gets to be to small.
Remember these things when you are going after some storage. Saving for the bigger item just might save you some money in the long run.
