If only....

...I could make it stay clean and organized.
Remember this picture from a few days ago?

Well, after several hours and a few "helpers", my scrap cave is clean and organized!!! Yippee. Let the scrapping (and inevitable messing up of the room) begin!

As much as I would love one of those spaces where everything has a cute little storage container, I am a visual person. I need to see what I have.

The only thing I really have in a storage container is all my paper. But that I have separated by brand.
Anyway....so glad to be done with this. Can I tell you how much fun it is to clean (anything for that matter) with the help of 3 little boys. Joey wanted all my stuff, "Mommy, can I have this? Do mens scrapbook too?". Jake only want to dump out all the buttons. And Josh was in to everything he could reach!

Now if I can find the time in the next few days....I am hoping to use the space. ALONE! :)

btw...there are still a few more days to leave me a comment over on THIS post (if you haven't already) to be entered to win a scrap kit!

Missed my Blogoversary AGAIN!!

Man! I am never going to remember my blogoversary with it being so close to my son's birthday and Christmas. We were actually out of town this year on the 17th. Anyway...in celebration...I have a present for one lucky reader.

Happy New Year!!!

I am not a huge fan of New Year's Resolutions...but I am going to set a goal for myself. In this New Year, I am going to:

• post a blog at least once a week
• create something new at least once a month
• keep my Scrap Cave under control

I guess I have the first of those goals accomplished for this week anyway. In order to get on the second one, I am going to have to do the third.

YIKES!!! (how did this happen?)


I will say that I have started re-organizing. I know, it is very hard to tell. I actually have accumulated a box of things I am going to post on www.craigslist.com.

Once I do get this space under control...I would like to get to work on my 2010 Family album. So far I have the title page done:




(using Fancy Pants Designs My Family Collection)
But since I am using the Simple Stories approach it should not take that long to do the whole year....yeah right! Well, not as long as it would normally take.
