About Me
- Judy G.
- I was raised in South Florida back in the years when it was a peaceful and wonderfully safe place to live. We lived a mile from the beach and could ride our bikes over the intercoastal bridge right to the best beach around. All my years of growing up I was a competitive swimmer and belonged to AAU. I granduated from Florida State University with a BS degree in nursing. I am recently retired but I'm thinking of going back to work to support my hobbies.

MY ORGAIZATIONAL BENEFITS
One of our Scraprack Challenges from last week is to make a sign stating the BENEFITS I hope to achieve from organizing my craft room. I thought for a few days, and here's what I came up with (although I haven't made my sign yet):
1. To be able to see my floor again, and to walk into my craft room and feel lifted up instead of depressed.
2. To have my scrapbook supplies in permanent and easily accessible places.
I know those are pretty simple, but right now when I walk into my room, I just want to get out as soon as possible. That's sad, isn't it? I have also proceeded to get a "purge" box, and things are being put in it. All scrapbooking supplies laying around the house have been put in one place and will find permanent homes as soon as I get the rest of my Scraprack system (I had to order some more pages and spindles). I have bought some 50% off wicker baskets to put my finished albums in. They going to go out in the living room in plain sight - hopefully to tempt people to look through them. I've even gotten some smaller baskets to put my little mini-albums in. Doing this has cleared up a numer of shelves in two of my bookcases.
Then I have made the momentous decision to store away my Cricut Imagine and the cartridges that go with it. Frankly, it takes up a huge amount of counter space, and I really don't use it at all. I suspect Cricut is going to quit making new cartridges for it anyway and probably will quit making the machine. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but it's very heavy and can't be transported to crops, so people just aren't buying them, or, like me, if they do, they aren't using them. I'll probably end up selling mine. Anyone want one for about $125.00? I've got a lot of cartridges to go with it too.
So, I shall keep plugging away this week, but then I'm going back to Florida to take care of my daughter, who's having some surgery next week. I'll be gone for two weeks, so my clean up project will have to go on hold for a while. I'll still keep in touch though.

I'M TAKING THE 2013 ORGANIZATION CHALLENGE
This is the current state of my craft room after coming back from my five day scrapbooking crop. What a mess!! I can hardly see the floor!! Therefore, I have made the momentous decision to buy The Scrap Rack System and take their 2013 Organization Challenge to see if I can find my floor again. Right now it's treacherous for me to even try to walk to my computer. Thus I am doing most of my online correspondence on my older (and slower) laptop. As my daughter said when I posted this picture on Facebook: "For shame, Mother, for shame" And I really am ashamed. I haven't brought anything else that I haven't already used up, it's just that I've dragged a lot of "stuff" out and haven't put it back. Also, it's time to PURGE again, which I started doing right after Christmas, but then I got sidetracked with the retreat. This week, my assignments are: 1. Make a poster stating what main benefit I will achieve by cleaning up my room. 2. Make a list of goals to achieve this week. Write them down and check them off as I finish them. 3. Gather all loose items pertaining to scrapping that are sitting around the house and put them in one place. 4. Here's the hard one - PREPARE TO PURGE. Have a purge box, and what goes in it, cannot come out again. So I will get with the program and let you know how I do.
