OCPD - or how Monkish am I?

My colleague claimed this morning that I have OCPD tendencies. At work I would rather say that I keep my desk tidy, but I quite agree in some other ways:

- I always keep my Project Life cards in their original order and use the top one first if I have the same card multiple times. Even when I store the cards cut from 12x12 sheets they remain in the same order as on the full sheet - "A" side up of course. Cards with horizontal alignment must have the bottom facing to the right of vertical cards.
- My kits are always stored in date order.
- Distress Ink pads are always put back in their proper place in the stack.

Outside the scrapbooking world:

- A roll of toilet paper must have the loose end coming down at the front. If someone visiting me starts a new roll and lets the loose end fall down at the back I change it the other way round.
- My towels are always stacked in the same order - neutrals from dark to light on the right sight of the shelf and colourful ones stacked from blue to yellow to red.
- Clothes - all tops on clothes hangers are sorted by sleeve length from left to right (tank top to full sleeve) and within these sections by colour (light to dark).

So yes, B, you totally have a point and in fact this will probably result in a scrapbook layout. As so far I have not freaked people around me out completely I am quite ok with my quirks.

Average???

Here's a quote I read on the whiteboard at my chiropractor's:

Supplies:
Gesso, acrylic paint, Faber Castell Gelatos, matte medium, old book pages, embossing powder, stencils, stamps, Archival Ink

With lots of different supplies used for my pages and even more cluttering the table which are eventually NOT used I sometimes find it difficult to get something done. Clutter also causes unintended messes sometimes, which could actually be nice but sometimes are simply not welcome. The pink glitter on a card for a guy sort of unwelcome.

Probably my friends and family wonder what has hit me, but honestly sometimes inspiration just hits me in an everyday situation. Or sometimes in a less than everyday situation such as getting my hair done for a wedding, which at the time I still thought was going to be a motto party with a marriage proposal before, but I am digressing...

Anyway, there was this usual hairdresser trolley and tadaaaa - my solution for the clutter problem. Obviously I was not going to get one of these, as they were frankly too expensive, so I was once again thankful about the short distance between my workplace and IKEA that I spent my lunch break getting this:

It still needs to be dressed up a bit (rub-ons, you will get used!) and might get a few hooks attached to the sides for extra stuff, but my table is already so much less cluttered.

I load it with the things I will need for what I want to work on, leave it next to the table and seriously do not have to pick up forgotten itemsoften  - more time for getting up to rinse paint brushes :-) Tidying up is also easy as I can roll the trolley to where items need to be put back to.

The two books at the bottom are my art journals by the way. Currently I am mostly using the larger one.

There is still some clutter in the room, but the trolley won't help with this. I rather need to go to IKEA again for some storage solution.
