Wednesday really seemed to roll around fast this week! Must be because I have been busy with doctors appointments, lots of crafting, and fun stuff around the house. Oklahoma is known for severe weather and tornadoes but this past Sunday we had a 5.8 earthquake with the epicenter about 100+ miles north of where I live…close to where Deeyl lives near Pawnee OK. We are all okay but the environment protection agency has stepped in and forced the Indians to stop allowing fracking and waste water well injection into a new fault line that has developed up there. It is not a good deal so if you hear the Indians are on the warpath in Oklahoma it is probably a true story.
I have been having a lot of fun making stuff the past week. I posted about some
layouts and cards I made just before this post. I also posted about some
tags and ATC's for a swap on Yahoo groups. I started a box/basket of projects I need to get finished so will be posting more later. On to my desk! Why are we posting about our desks? Go check out
Julia at Stamping Ground cause she has the details ready and waiting under the
WOYWW tab...
My desk this week…It is actually a little neater as I continue to organize and sort stuff out. I am sorting through boxes of 6x6" recipe cards, various cards, chipboard books etc. I have decided to get rid of a lot of stuff so I can have room for the new I am making.
The big picture of at the desks and boxes…it was a mess when I took this picture but it is all picked up now. I was at coffee the other day talking with a friend about all my craft stuff and how overwhelmed I sometimes feel. I have always felt I wanted/needed my stuff right at my finger tips but now I am not feeling that need anymore to the point it is an issue. I think one of my first changes is the reorganization of past projects like cards, ATC etc. Donating all the cards to either a nursing home or to the organization that sends them over to deployed servicemen to use to send home is a good option.
One of the 3 boxes of cards I have made. Some are so old the glue has started to let loose so I am gluing as I go along. They are still in new shape just sat too long. I think I am going to make it a policy to give away the cards as I go along and not hoard them!
The clear box to the left is a box of 6"x6" recipe cards that I made for card swaps when I first started doing paper crafts. I think I will make up recipe books for the kids for Christmas this year and give some of the others away to good homes.
I think my next project for organization is my dies and cutting machines. I have physically relocated the machines for easier access but need some system to store some of the dies and stamp sets together. Stay tuned I am a work in progress!
That's about all I have to report for this past week. I hope everyone has a great week!
