<p>My first class will be on <strong>iPhone photography</strong>. Most of the photojournalists I know use their phones extensively for work now and the results are stunning. Have any burning questions about shooting with your phone? Apps? Transmitting and photo storage? Gadgets? Fire away!</p></div>

It's mainly just piles of papers and craft messes most of the time, but it's taking shape. Love having my own little space to do my own thing. Thought I'd share some recent additions and fun finds to the room:</p>

<p>I just found this chicken wire rack at <a href="http://www.homegoods.com/" target="_blank">HomeGoods</a> last weekend. (Insert angels singing here for my new HomeGoods in town!) It has four, 14 inch wide bins perfect for paper storage.</p>

<p>I ordered these 13x20 posters of the girls from <a href="http://www.papercoterie.com/" target="_blank">Paper Coterie</a> and was really happy with the quality. They're printed on a thick fabric with adhesive on the back that can stick and re-stick to any surface. Can't wait to try it out.</p>

<p>My Mom gave me a belated Mother's Day gift last weekend. A reproduction print of the original <em>Keep Calm and Carry On</em> poster from the British bookstore where it was orginally discovered. (I blogged about it a few months back. Check out the charming video about it <a href="http://designeditor.typepad.com/design_editor/2012/03/eye-candy-the-story-of-keep-calm-and-carry-on.html" target="_blank">here</a>.) Thanks Mom!</p>

<p>I have several clipboards hanging on my office pegboard to display pretty things and bits of inspiration. I recently bought <a href="http://www.amazon.com/K-Company-30-620315-CompanySmash-Bands/dp/B004ZBLMX4" target="_blank">Smash Bands</a> (made to hold together Smash Books by EK Success) that fit perfectly around the clipboards to tuck in additional goodies. </p>
<p>Do you have an office or craft space? Is it always neat? (Please say no.) Have any great storage tricks?</p></div>
