Rearrranging and organizing


I haven’t been able to be creative since we did some rearranging of furniture through the house. We call it the grand rotation of the crap. We never seem to get rid of any, it just moves to another room of the house.

I had to clean off the desk that went to the family room for the kids to work at…hence, the big pile on my workstation and chair and floor….

The light colored piece in the lower right is an old TV stand that was in DH office for lack of a better place. It should provide me more storage in the long run as soon as I figure out how to utilize it.

Hopefully I can get everything sorted out over the long holiday weekend so I can get back to being creative.

Here’s how it looked the last time I organized.

I’ve been tagged!

My friend Elizabeth tagged me yesterday.

I’m supposed to share 6 quirky things about myself, then tag five other friends.

So here goes:

  1. I eat m&m’s in the order of which ever color there are the most of until I get an even number of each color then proceed to eat an entire color at once.

  2. I love soup and could eat it for every meal.

  3. I have a high pain tolerance.

  4. I think I look better with glasses than without.

  5. I want a tattoo but am afraid of what it will look like in 20 years.

  6. I love mini-vans…even if we won the lottery I still drive one…just a REALLY nice one.

Now I tag:

Wish me luck…

I sent off more art to Somerset Memories in hopes of getting published again. This time it’s an altered book about my dad and his childhood.

Here’s a tiny sneak peek:

Score!

I never would have guessed I’d be going to a garage sale towards the end of November. Luckily it was held INSIDE the house because it’s super cold and windy with scattered flurries today.

Everything you see for $9.

I’ve been wanting a guillotine cutter for ages.

The creative memories cutting templates look interesting as well and I already have the blades that work with it.

So glad I had to go get my yearly “squeeze” this morning or else I’d have missed these great deals!

Starting on our Christmas page

Every year I make a scrapbook page… virtually the only traditional scrapbooking I do…then make color copies to send out as our Christmas greeting.

This year I am struggling with both a design and color scheme.

My first concept was this completely non-traditional color scheme. I love the colors and elements but can’t seem to find a design I like.

The second has more traditional Christmas colors but just seems blah and ordinary to me.

I’m also struggling with what photos to use.

I think I just have too many things going right now and need to just focus on one at a time.

Collections


I grew up in a household that had many collections. Rocks, sea shells, fancy tea cup and saucers sets just to name a few.
Over the years I’ve gotten rid of most of my “dust catcher” collections and now only collect items that are useful, such as my Fiestaware.
These are our everyday dishes as well as our “fancy” dishes.

I also have a vast fabric stash and scrapbook papers but they fall into the useful collection in my book. That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.

Do you collect anything? I’d love to hear about it or see a picture.
