I spent the weekend being sick (yuck!) and organizing my scrapbook items/pages in preparation for LOAD. I started on Saturday to get my photos in order, pick out the paper and embellishments, etc. This is when I got a great idea and decided that I wanted to organize my scrapbook room. I didn't officially start organizing until Sunday though. My friend Mimi
(That Scrappy Girl), just organized her room and so I thought "What a great idea!" Also, I need to get organized for several reasons One, you can ask most of my friends and they will tell you that I am a pretty organized person, flaky but organized! It seems to me that over the past year my scrapbook room has gotten out of control which I just cannot stand. Things are just every where and I have too much junk. Two, we are preparing to put our house on the market and I have got to get the room cleaned up before that or my husband might loose it one me! Three, my scrapbook room is also my craft room and I have way too many things that are "almost" finished and really have no intention of ever finishing. LIke the blanket I wanted to crochet for my son, or the beads I wanted to start my own jewerly business with. Even though I love to learn new things I am going to stick to scrapbooking for now, which means I need to declutter some of my craft supplies. After this considreation (really didn't take me that long to decide!) I started in on it.
Here are some before photos of my scrapbook room:
So I started this on Saturday (the planning), and by Sunday late afternoon I had officially made a mess. These are some images from day 1 of organizing my scrapbook room.
I at least got the corner cleaned out, and 3 tubs of things packed up and ready to be taken to the storage unit!
And as you can see the table itself doesn't look much different. Looks like I have my work cut out for me!
I also had my favorite little man helping me out.He had several opinions for me during this process! I treated him with some green M&M's.
Well...I may not be any closer to getting my things ready for LOAD, but I have managed to create a mess in my scrapbook room.
You are off to a great start! I found it helpful to work on one zone and then call it done. I didn't feel overwhelmed. In fact I was energized to keep going. Of course odawg is the biggest help of all. Just don't let him eat the scraps of paper
