Now, wait just a minute, we've already seen this before . . .

You're right you have.  This was featured a little bit ago.  A fun project to make.  And now it is time to put it to use.  But, first, I have to organize some things.  OH NO!  Do I really have to?

Well, yeah I do.  You see, there are three specific areas of my life that are going into that file organizer.  My creative endeavors - stamping and paper crafting; my photography bits & pieces - customer info, wonderful locations to photograph and visually inspiring items I have collected from magazines and books and cards and anywhere that I find visual stimulation (which is pretty much the entire world);  and then items that I would like to try out - cosmetic items, websites to visit and the like.  So far that is the beginning of the breakdown that I have come up with. 

I have been collecting papers, and more papers and more papers with ideas, and images and directions and all sorts of things that I desperately need to get organized.  And now, they have a place to call home.  Or at least very, very soon they will. 

As I sit here tonight, I have three piles of papers to sort through.  And those three piles have already been sorted once.  I have some really cute file folders that are just ready to be labeled, stuffed and put in the organizer. 

If only my eyelids could stay open just a little bit longer.  That will have to wait for another night.  Instead, I think I'm going to try to read one chapter in my book before calling it a night.

Goodnight everyone!

Cleaning Day 2

Another day of cleaning, sorting and organizing. I decided I needed to tackle my accessories and find out what I have that is current and what has been retired.  Boy, oh boy, what a job that turned out to be.  I'm not sure that I'm completely finished, but I am done for tonight.  It's time to spend a little time with the family.

Here is what I sorted through tonight:
  • Craft Pads
  • Ink refills
  • Punches
  • Eyelets
  • Brads
  • Ribbon (I have quite the selection of retiring ribbon)
  • Coloring items including pencils and watercolor crayons
  • Glitter
  • Embossing powders
  • Wheels - both regular and jumbo sizes
  • and so much more
I must admit, it did feel really good to get stuff cleaned out.  You should see how wonderful my shelves are looking.  And now, I have two boxes full of accessories and paper and a rather large stack of stamp sets.  All of them will be looking for a loving home to reside in & to be used!  I will let you all know when I have everything priced and ready to sell.  And, let me tell you, they will be great deals - because I need the room for fun new items to start using in upcoming classes.  So far, I am planning the following for stamp classes:  Christmas, Birthday and Halloween.  I'm getting more and more excited about new stamp sets, new papers, new colors and new accessories!  WOOHOO!!!

I love the phrase included in this stamp set: 
Inspired by Nature
