Well HEY THERE TAT! Long time no see! It's been awhile since I last TAT'ed but it's also been awhile since I had something to TAT about! {or remembered to TAT anyway ;-)}
So I have been back in the scrapping rhythm lately but still haven't had dug out all of my stuff since the move. It was in 3 different places, 40 different pockets and bags, and I just didn't feel ... together. So this weekend my daughters and I decided to scrap. We used to pull out all the stuff every so often in the old house, but this would be the first time in the new house. So we went out for supplies and snacks, came back and while the baby napped we got to work!
So the girls settled in, and I got my pictures out. I looked at them, looked at my pile of misc stuff, looked at my pics again and was stuck. My OCD would let me go no further. And so it began.
This is where it started. Wow, just look at the chaos ... I know ... I feel the same way. Do you see that PILE o PAPERS on the chair in the back?! And the stickers! My God the stickers! There were letters of every color all mixed together! It was wrong ... so very wrong.
But THIS is what I ended up with :-DDDDDD Totally worth the SEVERAL hours it took. I organized by color all my loose papers into that paper holder, went through my ahem MANY slabs/packs, sorted all my letters by color in these nifty little blue file folders {$1 at Target y'all}, the purple file folders are for all my stickers/embelishments sorted of course by subject. And in the clear tubs {$1 at Dollar Tree!} are my ribbons in one, chipboard letters {seperated by color in sandwich baggies} in another, another for stamps and adhesive, and one for flowers and other stuff that was too bulky for file folders.I embrace my {slightly} obsessive need for organization.
Because this is where it gets me :-D Look at the PRETTIES!
And my work here is done. Now I am off to create! And organize! And look into therapy because this all made me very giddy :-D

We don't have a dollar tree here... *pout*
