I've too have been wondering how to store my supplies. I have a huge cabinet above my refrigerator so I have a place to store the candy. I bought candy after Christmas 2005 which I used this Christmas. I also had valentine's candy from after valentine's sales. The only thing that got too sticky were the gummy strips. We also don't eat the houses. At least I don't promote eating the houses but I did catch my 2 year old granddaughter taking a lick of the sugar "snow", but I didn't have my camera in my hand. Right now I have tools in a fishing tackle box, candy in card board boxes in the cabinet, and things like molds in a box waiting to go into the garage. My husband's a very talented carpenter. He's already built me a sewing area with upper and lower oak cabinets, under cabinet lights, and special places for my sewing machine, serger and computer. It's alreayd overflowing because I added my scrapbooking supplies to that area too. For Christmas he bought me a scroll saw for my Gingerbread hobby. I was completely surprised. He couldn't wait for me to try it so I cut some scraps just to try it out. Soon, I'm going to work on the pieces for a valentine's castle for the kids to decorate. He's even talked about building another crafting area for my gingerbread. Now, that would be the perfect solution.
