Lucrative and fun, art workshop centers are the answer to baby boomers who are approaching retirement.

For today’s column, we’re going to talk about storage options for our scrapbook, paper and beading supplies. If you’re a regular reader of mine, you know I’m always saying, “Go vertical!” And it doesn’t matter if we’re talking about a craft room, kitchen, bedroom or garage; to maximize space you must go vertical.

I love the upright towers for storing scrapbook sheets and stamp pads. If you purchase the plastic variety, there are pros and cons to them. On the plus side, they’re inexpensive and the drawers are usually clear, enabling you to see their contents. On the downside, the drawers are flimsy when partially pulled out. Your other option is to reuse an old upright wooden chest of drawers. You may already have something like this tucked away in your garage or basement–go check it out now! (well, not right at this exact moment)

Many people are afraid of finally having their 30th birthday. They see it as a turning point from being young and hip, to being old and useless. This is a rather silly notion, but many people feel this way. A good way to cheer up your friend or family member who’s in this kind of situation is to make the day special for them. The best way to make it special is to create handcrafted items that show your appreciation.
