Scrapbooker's Haven

Attention all Scrapbookers!!!!!

I am redoing my office/scrapbook room. I am wanting a paradise but don't have the money to do that! I have to incorporate a home office/business/graduate student/and scrapbooker into one room! How do I accomplish this task for under 800 dollars? Anyone have a clue?
I am using the Crop in Style Cubes and a laminate desk top cut to fit from Lowes! I have a small bedroom that I can use for an office, school, and scrapbooking! I have a large house and am fortunate enough to dedicate a room for all three uses! (still kind of hard). Does anyone have any advice. I have already spent around six hundred dollars on cubes, curtains, accessories, and a rug. I still need to buy one more desk top piece at $8.00! Other than that I have a trash can, curtains, the rug, the cubes, and small accessories. Any advice on other must have pieces? I will have three desks: 2 for computers ( huge Mac computer screens) and a printer and one for scrapbooking. I do have my new cricut and my sizziz. I have more paper than I know what to do with. I also have tons of stampin up stamps... ink pads... not too many sizziz dies, tools, and PAPER PAPER PAPER!!!!! I have 10 verticle storage, one 12x12 crate and a Cropper Hopper tote that has 10 or more slots in the portable storage system that holds paper! Not to mention my bookself that holds my non 12x12 paper! I have a closet full of accessories and a HUGE amoire that stores most of my items... And I must admit to the Three Nesting boxes and three baskets full of items. So, I have bought 12 of the crop in style cubes to make 3 desks. I purchased lots of paper storage... four drawer cubes, three drawers, and the filing cabinets.
Can you think of anything else I may need?

My House has a Mouse! (okay not literally)

Summer seems to have come around so fast. Not that I wasn't looking forward to it! Now that my daugther is out of school for the summer I have been able to enjoy not getting up at five-thirty! However, everything in my house has turned into pregnant mice! The toys scattered about have taken on the form of pregnant mice! The laundry, dishes, and meals to make all seem to have multiplied! Now, if only I could multiply the hours in the day, that would help! Anyone else feeling the pain?
