Spider Hair

Recently it was Crazy Hair/Hat day at preschool. Amelia and Emily told me they wanted "Speder Hair." How do you think it turned out??

OK, Seriously....where the heck have I been!!!???

I admit I get the "Bad Blogger Award", how bad am I.....I start sharing my organization ideas, promise more give-aways, then promptly drop off the face of the earth.......well the net anyway!! LOL!!!

I humbly ask for your forgiveness. I have no excuse other then, oh I don'tr know................life, husband, 4 kids, I'm easily sidetracked.............did I mention 4 kids........anyway..moving on!

Foremost, Kelly Marie I have not forgotten you are my winner of the last give away and your Sarabinder (plus some extras to make up for me dropping the ball) IS ON IT'S WAY TO YOU!!!!

So, what have I been doing since December 22??? I read The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillppa Gregory in anticipation of the movie coming out on February 29th. I can't wait. I love historical movies. I also watched all of season 1 of The Tudors on showtime On Demand. Can't wait for season 2 to start next month!!

With hunting season over, I've been able to get back to The Scrappery for more crop nights. YEAH!! I missed last night due to me currently being sick with a horrible cold. Uh, I hate being sick. This is the first time since having kids that Steve and I are both sick AT THE SAME TIME!!!! It SUCKS!!!!!!

Here's some recent pages I finished: Sorry for the wonky colors, don't know whats up with that!!

Getting Organized.

If you will recall the thing that triggered my "Give-Away" game was that I was organizing and RE-organizing my scrap supplies and finding lots I don't want any longer.

I thought I would share some of my organization with you, because if your anything like me you always want to know....how do other's organize their supplies!!!????? Don't worry, plenty more give-aways are coming....

My scrap area is part of my laundry room (approximately 5 1/2ft wide and 8ft long) plus I have a large cabinet in my garage that houses many supplies. I had to take into consideration the size of my space when I was organizing my supplies. Plus, I attend crops so I wanted my supplies to be easily transported, but still easily accessible while scrapping at home.

I'll start with MAGAZINES..............I have subscriptions to CK, Scrapbooks Ect., Memory Makers and Simple Scrapbooks, not to mention the numerous others I purchase from time to time. I had a hard time throwing them out and my stacks and piles were getting OUT OF CONTROL!!!! Here is a break down of what I do with them now.....

1. After I have read through each mag that arrives I go through again and tear out the pages I like. I tear out LO's, sketches, techniques, color combo's that catch my eye and page topic ideas. When I'm done I THROW IT OUT!!!

2. In a 2" binder I have sheet protectors with the following headings:

*number of photos on the page (1-15+photos; each has it's own sheet protectors)

*Page Ideas

*Techniques

*Color Combos

*Sketches

I sort the pages into their appropriate sheet protector.

3. In the evenings I pull out the binder and start cutting the pages up. I'll cut out around the lo's, simply getting rid of all the excess. After I cut it out it goes back in the binder in it's appropriate sheet protector.

4. Once I have all the items I want cut out, I start glueing them into my "Idea Book". This book is a digital post-bound photo album that I removed the post from and reessembled it with O-rings. It has the exact same catagories as the binder.

I'll share more of my organization over the next few weeks......
