The Big O... Oraganization!

While out on a scrapbook store field trip last week I stumbled onto the Original Scrap Box. It is a thing of beauty that made my scrapping buddy and I giddy with joy. This impressive peice of carpentry measures 32"d x 36"w x 72" h when completly closed. It unfolds to nearly twice that size and comes with all the storage bins to fit inside the unit. You can watch the animation of it opening and closing (I've done it several times as I try and convince the hubs that it is just what my scrap space needs!)
