One last time.......

Hi guys.....I have moved many times through the past years and never ever got my scrap area/room completely organized. I would keep buying goodies and things I simply had to have to scrap with....and would organize a space to work....but that is about as far as it has gone.

Now I am living with the daughter for a few months while hubby is on his job in Nevada. i am slowly....ever so slowly going through everything.....more or less, using a flylady technique: touch it once. I actually have to touch most things twice. Ha.

I pick it up....put it in where it is supposed to be living.....or in one of two piles. One pile is all the embellishments....and man I have tons and tons of these! One is a pile of everything that I am going to put in scrap books.....these two piles will be handled after I finish sorting all supplies, paper, machines and such into their home spot. If that makes sense.

Today, I have gone and spent most of my time working on the main desk....pour things out of the little drawers and seeing what the heck is actually in them!

I have organized all markers, pens and pencils. Mostly in groups of colors. I found out today....those pricey things I have bought....well they have dried out.....cause I didn't know what colors I had and they just laid around not being used. :(

One thing that is huge for me right now....throwing it out! I grew up with a crafty mom, so everything "might" be able to be a crafty "someday". Someday never gets here it seems....so I am tossing as I go. Hard to do. I have taken things back out of the trash and held them for a bit....then made myself toss them back in.

I pray I can do this. In the scheme of life...a neat scrap area is not all that important, I suppose. Yet in my life....it really is.....I need this done.....I need it to show myself I can do it.....and then.....I will finally after all these years....have a nice area to call my own and be proud of crafting in.
