    I also used comic book boards. Need to invest in some more as I've used one pack and I have a lot more to go. LOL

    I found them amazon...great prices, but I wish they were larger...might have to tape 2 together, as my shelves are 12" deep and 15" tall! I want to maximize the space so I can fit MOST of my stash onto them!

    ok, so I found out that you can also get Magazine storage boards that are 8.5" x 11.5". Do you think to fit into my 12" x 15" space I could turn them sideways and tape them together? Would they lose their integrity on their sides?

    Amazon has a great price and FREE shipping....I would need about 1,000 of them!

    I've started to organize mine like this. It does look amazing BUT there is no way in the world I'm going to be able to get it all back in the space I had it crammed into! Too much STUFF!

    I can hardly wait to get started on this....it will mean lots of de-stashing, but bring it on! or so my hubby says...eheheh

    It looks wonderful! Could you post pictures in a month? That's my neatness limit...I start out with a mess, clean it up and then the mess creeps in again. But I am happy camper either way. Viva la stash.

    I took quite a bit out from the before pics. 3 sets of fat quarters for which I have projects planned and some fabric that I will probably just sell or use for pillowcases or something. I have a whole bunch of other fat quarters too that I have elsewhere. I don't have enough room in any one area to store all of them. :oops:

    more info on my blog which is in my signature.
    Do you do house calls?
