I think I LIKE the idea of being organized, and sometimes I can even be anal about it, but in most cases, I’m too lazy to be a neat freak. I do, however, love all things stationary-ish and anything related to office supplies. This also applies to anything container-like (see The Container Store). Give me an office supply catalogue any day and I’ll actually take the time to thumb through it just as if it was a yarn catalogue - eyeing things that I don’t necessarily need, but it’s just eye-candy for me. =)
So today when I came across this craft container, a swivel/revolving desk organizer at my local Target’s, I nearly died with excitement. I instantly purchased it and when I got home, I went straight upstairs to my craft room to put it together.
I figured it would be a useful purchase, to help me clean up this mess on my desk (here is the before picture):
After some organizing, all clean (the after picture):
It measures 9 inches x 9 inches, all the way around. There are a couple drawers, complete with compartments, a side for magnets, two places to display a pretty picture, and oh, did I mention that it swivels?? =) A couple angles of my revolving cube organizer (click for a close-up):
Seriously, I’m so stoked about this piece of desk organization that sometimes I just sit at this desk and swivel it around and stare at it (lame, I know). It’s only a matter of time when things get messy again, but for now, I’m enjoying how everything is placed in their proper place. Yay! =)

I LOVE The Container Store. It’s probably a good thing the closest one to me is about two hours away.

Ruth, I need to get to Target! Like you, I love all organizational tools, and the Container Store is one of my favorites. Unfortunately, I’m not able to stay organized for very long.
