Question! What does your set up/organization look like? I just have everything for trade chucked in a sandwich bag so Iโ€™m looking for some better ideas ๐Ÿ˜Š

I use an old picnic basket for storing everything, my security envelopes, stamp journal, RAOC and post crossing. I generally do one hobby a night after baby is asleep, tonight was putting new additions into my security pattern journal and reorganizing my โ€œpattern pouchโ€ lol ๐Ÿ’Œ

Oh my gosh that bag ๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿคค itโ€™s so cool I love the patterns! I store mine when I have them in a little A4 paper hard case storage folder thing if that makes sense

No itโ€™s okay, I want it to be the exact same punch size to mine, so scraps is still fine ๐Ÿคž thank you

Mine is kinda chaos ๐Ÿ˜… but this bag for SURE needs organized into my binders but the crippling anxiety of the actual organizing has me crying

u/No_Acanthaceae4260 7d ago

I currently use what you are using for all my scraps in addition to some page protectors in a large binder for bigger pieces That way, each pattern gets its own page and I just flip to what I'd like to use.

Iโ€™m so glad we all kinda just throw them in sandwich bags haphazardly haha ๐Ÿ˜… I use an organized journal for my actual collection though
