I wanted a snapshot of a goal of mine- to organize and have a place for the kids' stuff. We live in a nice townhouse, but our space is really fairly small.My oldest is a prolific artist. She can create 15 sheets of "art" in a sitting. We are buried under all the art and accompanying supplies.
I decided she needed A Spot. I found these cubes at Target, sold for organizing scrapbooking things. It's perfect! Stickers, oil pastels, crayons, markers, glue, scissors, projects that have already been created as well as paper for making something new: it all has a place. Hurray for a little piece of sanity!
1/160, 3.5, 1250 ISO, Flash, bounced off ceiling, no FEC.
NOT a huge difference. I cropped a little, did a little color correction and noise reduction, as well as defog.
It takes so little to make life just a little bit easier, doesn't it? :)

Great shot, and I love the organizing gear you found. I know what you mean about artistic children. I have four kids -- and thousands of masterpieces!
Yay, for organizational sanity! That is the bet kind ;)
I so wish I could get organized. This shot really convicts me. Your SOOC image looks good too, so I honestly barely noticed the PS work:)
Good shot. Those cubes are so cool and affordable. I need to organize my dd stuff like that.
I didnt notice the difference either. SOOC was great! Toni
That is so one of my goals to get organized. I spend way to much time on two peas.

Like those cubes. Good SOOC shot that didn't need editing IMO
This is a great find, my daughter is also into creating tons of 'art' each day!
those are fantastic! its great you will never have to worry about buying all the fancy schmancy retail artwork, youll always have one of a kind originals....lucky!
I think I need one of those. Something to get me organized would be great! The PP on the shadows when well. Great job.
I think you did just the right amount of PP. I love those cubes.
Why can I never find cool stuff like this at my Target?! Those are really neat and look great for organization and storage! My DS can put out some "art" himself.... this is a fantastic idea!
That is a seriously awesome organizing idea! I think I need to go pick some of these up for my dds room.
Great little organization station! My kids love art too. Right now we just have everything in a big basket
your daughter could have been me at a younger age! definitely had tons and tons of supplies. its so great you support her like this.
I agree that supporting your daughter like this is awesome! She's lucky to have a mom like you! I like the color correction you did. It really made the photo pop.
How nice and neat! And it's a kind of thing that can be adapted to other future uses as life goes on. . .Good idea, capturing those little slices of life. When my kids were little, and very into art, at one point there were so many "pieces" that we hung them all over the inside of our garage to make it a "gallery" for them. Wish I had a picture of that now!
great idea..i definately need to get mor organized..my house is a mess.
Those look perfect! I'm thinking I need to do something like that for my son
