Organizing - Scrap Paper

Well I have finally come up with something that has only my scrap paper in it. Now this is for my colors not my patterns. I keep my patterns in with my 8.5x11 paper file drawer. I just wanted to pull out all my little pieces of paper since I always seem to skip them and use a big sheet of paper...especially when making cards. This way I know what I have at first glance. You can see the before and after picture. Before I had them in a accordion style folder and it just wasn't working b/c it ended up not being nice and neat. Now I have them in a file folder box that I got at Walmart for around $6. The files I already had on hand. Now I can just reach below my desk and pull out the box for what I want.


Also, I know that some links and such are not working on this blog. I am trying to work on it. I am thinking it is a blogger thing b/c on both of my blogs I can not add gadgets (no option). One of these days it will be put together correctly. :-)

Disney World!

Well I hope everyone has had a good Wednesday! Mine is always busy from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed. I get about 30 minutes on the computer for today. Tomorrow will be a better day b/c I get to be home all day.

Anyways, the newest scrapbook album that I am going to start working on is a Disney World one. We went to Disney World in December before Christmas with my family and had a blast. Wish we would have had more time but we will know that for the next time. :-) I thought I would leave you with a happy picture.

PS I promise to have links up and "extras" on this blog tomorrow!

Welcome!

Hi! If you have found this site I welcome you! I have always wanted to have a blog where I only have my craft stuff. It took me awhile to figure out what I wanted and I am sure I will end up changing some things around too. But that is what crafting is all about. How you feel at the time and just playing around.

I started stamping back in the late 1990's and have loved it since. I use to do very elaborate cards with stamps but since I have kids they have gotten simpler. I still love playing with stamps!

I started scrapbooking (with one of those buy it all kits from Michael's) back in 1998. I was working as a nanny for a family and we decided to do a scrapbook for the mom. I am glad that the book is not sitting around here b/c I would get the urge to go back and change things. :-) I seriously started scrapbooking when my first was born in 2002. Now I am not a person that scraps her pictures in order. I am scrap what I feel like. But I seriously do need to actually got back and finish some sections of my kids albums! Just so I can say that part is done.

Most times I will post a picture of what I am working on. There will be posts of just wandering thoughts or of organizing ideas. I am in the process of organizing my stuff since I got a new/bigger desk for Christmas. My dh thinks it's crazy....he likes a clean nothing on the desk (will have to show a picture sometime) but for me a crafting desk is not going to be clean and neat all the time. Plus I need to have alot of my stuff at hands reach so I don't have to get up and get it!

Have a wonderful day! Come back and visit!
