Home Sweet Home

Last weekend the girls and I traveled to Shreveport to visit with my sisters and mom. It wasn't the greatest of weekends and if I could, I would have done things a lot differently. My mom and I had a HUGE fight, which I regret, but what do you do? On the bright side, it snowed a bit, so the girls finally got to see a little snow stick. I'll post pictures soon.

Since I missed my Monday organizing this week, today will be my Monday. The girls and I planned to go to Galveston today to scope out some places for me to take senior portraits for both my nephew and Morgan. I just think it's going to be too cold to do so today. I plan to just stay at home and chill. (it's quite cold enough for that!) It's the middle of January (already??) and the majority of my craft supplies are still in boxes in my itty bitty craft room. Since we are bound and determined to do a Christmas ornament each month of this year, make cards for every occasion, and gifts for family members and friends, I think I need to focus on making everything accessible. So, for this week's organizing, I'm going to finish my craft room. I have to paint it and get an armoire out of there, so it's going to take more than just today to do so. I also have almost everything in there to organize, but I'm going to start with just one area at a time. Today I'll be emptying boxes and gathering like items together. I have stamp sets that need to be put in binders at least until I find I don't like that way of organizing them. All other things will have to just be put into bins or something until I can get some storage in there. I have zilch storage total in that room. I'll take pictures once everything is out and the walls are primed. I won't have to buy paint because I have a mother lode of left over paint from when colors just didn't work here. In there, I'm not too worried about the color.

My coffee cup is now empty so I guess I'd best get off my tail, teach my kiddos some lessons, and get busy with the rest of my day. Stay warm, folks!

Good luck, my craft room is still unorganized!!! I do have a lot of room, but have no clue as to what I want. So hurry up with yours and give me ideas.

Well, then, I just may have to come down for a visit and we can do it together. I had no idea you did crafts. I've been trying to get Aunt Debbie to come play with me. I do have a lot of great ideas I've seen and what I feel will work for different things. I love organizing.
