Ha! It's not as if I don't LOVE it!! I have a paper fetish - no doubt about it. But, I have always struggled with how to organize it!
I have looked online and I haven't found what I was looking for - I found mostly how to store it. Different types of racks, etc. I have found some forums in which people tell what works best for them, and I have taken some suggestions. But, I'm sure we each have a different 'set up' so, honestly, I think each individual needs to find what works for them. I will post how I've organized my paper and maybe, someone with a similar set up will find my post useful.
My set-up: I have 20 paper trays. So, I had to find 20 or less categories in which to label my trays and separate my paper. This is what I came up with:
Solids
Family
Kids
School
Sports
Camping
Flowers & Nature
Spring & Summer
Fall & Winter
Circles & Dots
Squares & Plaids
Paisley's & Swirls
Stripes
Themed
Modern
Antiqued & Heritage
Textured
Vellum
Holiday
I have one tray left - I can use if for scraps or very large sticker or punch out sheets - or whatever.
You could certainly take one heading, like 'kids,' and further organize it into subcategories: Boys, Girls, Baby, or by colors. You can do that with many headings - if you have a lot of paper storage.
I certainly hope this helps someone. I FINALLY feel organized.
