The 3 Spaces

I found the below article on scrapbooking spaces. From a website link... http://www.simplescrapbooksmag.com/specials/preview.ihtml?promo_idx=42
I thought it would be interesting to read on the different kinds of scrapbooking spaces that there are. I think I have had all three...sometimes at once! But now I am at Dedicated Space stage and I love it! Enjoy!

TEMPORARY SPACE
Almost every scrapbooker starts at a temporary workspace, most often the kitchen table. Obviously, this makeshift workspace accommodates non-scrapbooking functions (eating, homework, bills), but when it comes time to scrapbook, you can temporarily pull out your supplies and work for a while before packing everything up again.


While this packing and unpacking can be cumbersome, effective storage solutions can actually make a temporary workspace ideal for many scrapbookers. There is freedom and simplicity that comes with containing your scrapbooking universe in a single rolling case or a plastic box. it easier to spend time with your family while you scrapbook.





SHARED SPACE
Having a shared space means you have a room in your home dedicated to two or more activities—one of which is scrapbooking. This shared setup offers a more permanent solution than the temporary space because there’s no need to haul supplies in and out.


Within a shared space, scrapbooking is just one of the full-time functions of the room. Depending on what else the room is used for, you might have a work surface and open storage solutions always available for your scrapbooking pursuits, or you might need to store your materials in closed containers, keeping everything hidden away when the space is being used by others.

DEDICATED SPACE
A dedicated space is devoted solely to scrapbooking and other creative pursuits, and it generally has only one occupant: the scrapbooker.


This arrangement offers a variety of benefits—you can integrate permanent storage into the workspace, keep inprogress pages and supplies out between scrapbooking sessions, and, ultimately, you have the freedom to design every aspect of the space so that it best meets our own scrapbooking needs.
