Messy Jessy Packing Up for the Big Move

As you may be aware from previous posts, my alter-ego "Messy Jessy" takes over my craft room on a regular basis and destroys any attempts at organization :) It's all part of the creative process, and tends to go in cycles of messiness and organization that revolve around the SmuTopia craft show schedule.
Right now, the room is without a doubt in the messy part of this ongoing cycle! However, circumstances for clean up are a bit different now that my hubby and I have just purchased our first house (Hooray!!!!). I'll be spending the next month packing and moving, and the thought of packing up all of my beads and other supplies is rather daunting.
To make my life a bit easier, I picked up a whole bunch of plastic shoe-box-sized containers on sale at Target after the back-to-college sales were over and have been packing my supplies into those then labeling them. Between the labels and the clear plastic containers I hope to be able to find my supplies a bit more easily after the move. Unfortunately, after packing up at least 10 of these the room seems just a full as it did when I started!
Despite all of the work that needs to be done, I'm thrilled about the move. Not only is this a big milestone for the Smuteks as we move into our new home, it is also a great opportunity to get more organized both in my craft room and throughout the house. How do you organize your supplies? How do you set up your workspace? I'd love your thoughts and ideas on this!
