I had a large mobile hanging file cabinet that was sitting in a corner of my room that really didn't have much of a purpose.I used the file before to store documents in hanging folders that pertained to household topics, but I had since purchased a wood one that I was using instead.
I decided to take the cabinet down to my craft room and use it there for something if even just for a work surface since it had a lid that would slide closed.
I bought some new folders and stored my assorted paper for my scrapbooks, sticker collections, photographs, photo paper all in handy labeled folders. Now all I needed to do was pick what I wanted, slide the lid closed and I had a nice surface to work on to boot!
Sometimes is pays to be a pack rat. I am so glad I didn't put it in the garage sale now that it has a whole new purpose in my scrapbook heaven.
