Re: Messy or Neat?
Messy... but I'm hoping that finally having a dedicated craft space (almost finished) with proper homes for all the supplies will encourage a little more neatness.

Re: Messy or Neat?
I am messy in general, but I can not scrap like that. I put everything away between LOs, then start over.

i always start neat and end up messy. But I will come back and reorganize... a week or so later! :0

Re: Messy or Neat?
totally messy. No doubt. I do try to pick up some when I am done, but still looks like a hurricane blew through.

Re: Messy or Neat?
Mess, definitely. When playing with paper, I often end up with the products I've pulled for 3 or 4 or 5 projects out before I get them all put away. And because I often work on 2 projects at the same time, there is double stuff out on a routine basis anyway!

Re: Messy or Neat?
I am a very messy scrapper. I am like you I have to start with a clean surface but after that look out!! I do have to clean up after each page I sometimes even put the scissors away even though I know I will get them right back out. I may be a little OCDish!!

Re: Messy or Neat?
I too start off with a clean slate but somehow by the end....it looks like a tornado struck!

Re: Messy or Neat?
So, so messy! I'm lucky if I have enough room on my desk for the layout itself because I have so many supplies, embellishments, scraps, etc. strewn about. I tried to clean up a little last night for the crop but I know it's just going to get messy right away...

Messy - it's a sign of creativity. But I'm also Type "A" - every last piece of paper and photo has to be put away before I quit for the day - even if I'm going to start afresh in the morning.
I think that comes from my mother's teaching "You never know if you'll be returning to your home -you don't want people to think you lived messy."

Re: Messy or Neat?
I have to start from a clean surface and then I mess it up. If I have time to do a second LO, I have to clean up and then go from there.

Re: Messy or Neat?
I have to admit that I am MESSY!!! If my scrap area is clean when I start I have a hard time getting motivated. If it's messy it is so much easier to scrap. I wonder why that is????

Re: Messy or Neat?
I start out neat, but by the end of a layout it's a disaster. I may straighten up after a layout, just depends if I am on a roll and know what I want to do for the next layout or not.

Re: Messy or Neat?
I'm thinking the messy, leave it out people don't have cats. CATS will actually help you become a neater scrapper, IMHO ![Wink :winkb:](./images/smilies/smile_wink_b_16.png)
