What I've Been Up To! Organization!

I have the best BFF in the world. Though hundreds of miles separate us, she is always excited to here about my projects. I have been on a roll lately. I am determined to have my craft room organized in hopes that my house will sell in the near future and make it alittle easier to move my stash! So hopefully these projects will be easier to see the details in pictures.
These drawers are right inside my craft room door. A drawer for each boy where I put school projects, awards, etc. that need to be scrapbooked and a couple for the family where I put memoribilia from vacations or announcments we recieve.


I came to the realization that there is no way I can fit all the boys stuff in their scrapbooks and their drawers are overflowing. So I got a file box for each boy to file those projects, journals etc. that I can't just throw away ( I do not keep every art project either). I have filed all their stuff according to grade. I just scrapbook their class picture report cards and ny major events or awards that happened throughout the year.



I have found a new love. Becky Higgins Project Life Big Envelope Pages. I love to keep pictures and letters we get each year for Christmas. These have also been shoved in my drawers waiting for me to figure out what to do with them. A big envelope for each year and out of the drawer and into the scrapbooks!

I wish I had taken a before picture. Another job that has been long over due is chronilogically labeling my scrapbooks. They were kind of labeled with a handwritten ripped piece of paper shoved in the label holder. This project kind of lit a fire under me to get everything else organized. Now all my binders have a nice typed label.

My other new find. I am loving everything in the Becky Higgins Project Line. I have followed Becky for years and have put off buying the Project Life kit for a few years. Well I bit the bullet this year and bought both her paper and digital kits.

This little white box has taken my photos that I have developed and have been sitting in my cupboard from

TO THIS:

I completed almost an entire year all in one night of scrapbooking thanks to the help of Becky Higgins and Project Life. I kind of sound like an add for the product. This is not an add. It has just been a life saver for me.

It is amazing what a good feeling it is to get Organized!
