How Do You Keep Organized????

OK friends,  I'm in need of some advice.  How in the world do all of you keep your supplies organized?  When I look at other posts and card designs I see that many of you list the 'recipe' for your creations.  My stash is such a jumble of stuff that I don't know what came from where or who manufactured what.  


I'm trying to pay more attention to those things, but don't know where to begin.  Any advice?  There must be some kind of system that people use to keep things straight.  I would just love to know what it is so I can try to implement it.


Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Happy Crafting!
