Where Have I Been???!!

Yes, it has been a LONG time since my last post. Almost 2 weeks.
Well, at this point the 31 days of organization/inspiration has ended - hope you enjoyed it while it lasted. I am kinda surprised I lasted as long as I did!! hehehe!!

Been busy preparing my stuff for the scrapbook sale at my LS. It was today so bright n' early I went to drop my stuff off to be sold to a new loving scrapper who will hopefully use the stuff I paid full price for and now am willing to go for fifty cents! YIKES!! LOL!!
I hope that I did well....that way I can use my credit to get new stuff!! yeyeyeyeyesssssssss!!

I went on Wednesday to see Michael Buble in concert!! OMG!! That was such a FANTASTIC show!! I knew it would be good but it completely blew me away! Definitely up there with my top concerts!! If you ever get the chance to see him do so...even your man will thank you at the end of the night for dragging him there!! ;)

Hope all of you have a great weekend!!

18th Idea for Inspiration

Replace years old pics in frames with new ones.

This was actually long overdue. It was refreshing to take out the old & put in some new pics. Nice to change it up every once in awhile. I did like this idea.
I have one pic that I am waiting for from a friend...so for now its a lonely, empty lil' frame. Hopefully not for long!!

Happy Inspiring!!

Clearing out my Scrap Stuff

Yesterday I REALLY REALLY went through all my scrap/craft stuff again. I am getting ready for a garage sale that my LSS is having on 3/1/08. I have to have all my stuff that I want to sell in bags & priced with my table # on it too. As the store sells the stuff for you. Last fall I participated for the first time & it was GREAT!!

After going through everything I realized that I had gotten rid of much more than I realized. So now I am really limited to what I have for embellishments - all in one medium size basket & its not even full!!

Paper....I put A LOT of it in the pile to sell!! I put gadgets in there too.. Xyron machine - before they came out w/new cool ones. Light table...scrap albums/journals that I have not used in a couple years and am unlikely to use in the next couple of years :) I do have some magazines but not nearly as much.

I have a lot of empty containers, plastic bins, drawers, & baskets!! I think I will have to re-organize where I keep them all!! Did not see that one coming!! But its all good!

After this I hope to use what I have and then only buy as I know I am going to use it for a project. We will see how that marvelous idea pans out for me!

Happy Organizing!!

17th Idea for Organization

Put all spare buttons into 1 box.

This one was timely because yesterday I spent time going through my scrap stuff. I had only 2 containers - sorry!! :( Bent the rules a little. LOL!!
I have one that has only "real" buttons, like for your slacks, sweaters, shirts, etc.... Then the other container is for all the "fun" buttons - for crafting and the like.

Happy Organizing!!

16th Idea for Organization

Clean your sink.

Well, this one was due in the kitchen. I had procrastinated in washing dishes so I got up this morning made breakfast and cleaned the kitchen sink.
After this I plan to head to both bathrooms to clean them. Saturday mornings normally are my cleaning time~ most of the time!! :)

Now I am back on track with my ideas for organizing so that is a good thing today!

Happy Organizing and Inspiring!!

15th Idea for Organization

Clear all expired food from refrigerator.

This one was good to do on Friday since I had just done some grocery shopping. So as some goes into the fridge some is getting tossed out.
Mostly, I had limp carrots, moldy peppers, hard limes, and some expired condiments. Not too bad. But then a single gal's fridge is not heavily stocked to begin with! LOL!!

Happy Organizing!

14th Idea for Inspiration

Make a short list of doable resolutions.

1). Pay off my flight to NOLA before the trip.
2). Get MP3 player before NOLA trip.
3). FINALLY get my scrap room together.
4). Go to crop one time each month.
5). New computer by the fall of '08.
