Here is a photo of Daisy working in her little area of my old scrapbook studio, so you can get a better perspective of it:
She's just like her mommy: she likes to work standing up. Her desktop was a glossy white painted plywood surface (like mine, discussed here). The coolest thing about her work space was the hinged cubbyhole in the surface of the desk. She could work on a project, then slide it into the storage area to keep her work surface clean (not that she ever DID that, of course). If you look on the photo above, the hinged storage is in the desk, just to the left of where she is standing -- not to be confused with the storage cabinet directly above it.
Anyway, that was an awesome idea in theory, because kids love having places to hide things. Most of the time it was so stuffed full of junk it wouldn't even shut. ;o)
I kept a bulletin board to the left of her desk so she could rotate her artwork and keep it on display. Just above her head there was a rolling paper dispenser with a never-ending supply of white paper. She could tear pieces off and use as much as she wanted (so she wouldn't use up all of my scrapbook paper!).
All of her tools and supplies were stored in baskets. I love using baskets for kids, because it means easy cleanup. She could just toss her scissors into one basket, crayons and pens in another, and glue in yet another. "Toss and Tuck", I'd say (as in, "tuck away").
It's difficult to see in the photo, but the white cubes on the right side of the photo are paper storage cubes (you can only see the sides of them). I stored cardstock and patterned papers in them. I tried to put items I didn't mind sharing in those cubes, because any item within Daisy's immediate sight tended to be put towards a creative use. What can I say...she is an imaginative little girl.
I love Christmas most especially because of the color red...so red with anything would be my favorite combo.
