Another organizing challenge...

Another "Organize Your Stuff" challenge has started at Two Peas, and I'm going to play along again.  The first time I did the challenge I made AMAZING strides at getting my area organized and working well for my crafting needs.  However, according to this picture, I seem to have backslid just a tad:

 I've already put a shelf up beside the one that's there to hold stamp pads, so the current shelf can hold some other stuff (not sure what yet).  I need to get the miscellaneous crafty stuff off my desk that's left over from when the girl took over my craft room this summer.  Her "corner" is on the other side of the stairs...I'm not tackling that since it's not "mine".  Haha!
Behind me looks a little better:
My paper has stayed relatively organized, although I just realized I have a few places where I have random cardstock stashed.  And there are a few things on the floor that need a home.  I've redone my embellishment organization (I used to have it all in a variation on a ScrapRack), and the drawers are all my color drawers (including the drawers in the black unit).  My Clip It Up needs a big purge...I don't use rub ons hardly at all and the ones I have are mostly so old they probably wouldn't work anyway.

I actually feel fairly good about my organization at this point.  I can find things really quickly (well, except for paper...I do a lot of rifling through to find what I want) and layouts seem to take me less time now.  As an example, here's the layout I did in less than a day (amazingly fast for me!), because everything was already out:

The prompt is from Big Picture Classes Big Idea Festival.  Cathy Zielske provided the template, and it was perfect for this photo of Hubby using all three of his Apple devices at the same time!  The papers are all scraps from Simple Stories Life Documented and Yearography.  I've used these lines for the past year in my monthly review journal (my version of Project Life), so I had tons of random pieces lying around.  And, amazingly, my Cameo didn't make an appearance on this!
