This being the beginning of a new year, I've been spending some time trying to get organized. Getting rid of magazines, sorting collage ephemera, etc, things like that. Basically I am fixing storage systems that haven't been working well.

Too bad I didn't take a photo of the old system, but here are photos of the new one. As you can see, it has three different sections, and it's working 
out perfectly.
