is my scraproom! 
Between moving in.... our daughters weddings, Christmas, our wedding, return from vaca. etc.... my poor scraproom has sadly become a collect-all.
I highly doubt that anyone has a messier one at this very moment (?)
If you think you can compete... please post a pic (and shame yourself like I'm about to) 
I am going to force myself to work in there, unpacking & ridding the room of all that doesn't belong there - in hopes of finding my desk & being able to scrap again!
Bet I can even find some excess scrap stash and RAK it if you express an interest in such thing

Have fun cleaning that up! I bet you will find stuff you forgot about that will make you smile!

welllllll.... I don't have a scrap room but my bedroom which contains it is looking pretty bad.
I guess I could try shaming myself into cleaning it. Not sure if it'll work.

Ok, I shall hang my head in shame....  
Going from left of door and clockwise around room. Not looking really bad (yet)...
What you couldn't see because of the bed.
Now it's getting worse...
Oh, the horror! the shame!!
Even this little spot next to hubby's bureau is mine.

Steph, your scrap room looks like mine! I am in the process of reorganizing. My current storage system is a total failure!

my scrap area is just as bad but right now my focus is on the spare bedroom. going through clothes, getting rid of things, putting things in their spots..... not so much fun but it has to be done.... then it's onto other parts of the house.

LOL That lot doesn't look as bad as our music/computer/scrap room did before we cleared it out for Mum to sleep in at Christmas. I didn't take any photos then!
It's a lot better now. We have carpet showing and everything!

Of course mine isn't quite the same thing but this is my "To be sorted file" on my computer. Each folder is a kit....there are 974 of them that I have yet to sort

You can do it! Mine was a disaster but then I cleaned/decluttered for 15 minutes at a time every day. If I had time I would set the timer again. Doesn't seem so overwhelming then.

You can do it! Have you noticed how your safe haven of peace has somehow also become the place to dump stuff other household members want you to take care of? my space is like that, even if I keep it clean, other people kindly "place" other items in my space.....

In my case, my crap is all mine. Part of the problem is (besides being a piler) not having a place to put stuff. A lot of it is project crap. Clothes to mend or alter, quilt fabrics and/or tops, batting for said quilts, yarns, fabric scraps...

Steph, at least your room is pretty much a catch-all for everything that isn't scrapbook related. It becomes a "mess" when you are actually scrapping and go from one project to another without cleaning up! That's what my room is like!

Hubby got it for me a few years or so ago (don't know how long I've had it now). It's Disney. The nylon lining is ripping though.

What I need is one of those big ones instead of having 2 smaller ones but I'm not willing to fork over the bucks for it.

Things are going at a serious snail's pace here. It's improved but so hard to find somewhere to put things!
Then I decided to take out the bag of little stuffed animals I had in a box and put them out so I will need to move a few things on top of one of my storage pieces over my desk so i can put them up there.
