What a difference a year makes, or does it.

As I was sitting here trying to think of what to write about today, then I got to thinking. What was I doing at this time last year. Now because I didn't' have my blog then, I went through my pictures. I have attempted to do Project 365 for the last couple years. I got the photo's but petered off on the journaling about 3/4 of the way through the year.
So what I realized is that I haven't really accomplished that much in a year.

Last year I was organizing my scrap/craft room. On 2peasinabucket they were having an Organizing Challenge that Wookie Mouse put on. Here is her list of thing to do. Some of these ideas didn't apply to me so I skipped them.

Well guess what?!? I am picking up where I left off. That and I had to re organize some of the things that I did already, Come on give me a break, its been a year, you think the stuff I did would still be perfect, LOL.

The reason I have started again is because:
1. I am sick of moving things around to find something I am looking for.
2. I have been planning on doing a video of my scrap/craft room since I started my blog.
3. I made a pact with a fellow You Tuber http://www.youtube.com/user/Scrapdillyishious. We made a deal to organize our scrapbook rooms and do a video of them on the 15th. The 15th of this month!!!!

I tell you I sure have a lot of sh1t, I mean treasures. I forgot how much I had. I have been purging as I go, but not nearly as much as I should.
So I did get down to the room today for a bit. I was planning on doing it all day, but as usual that didn't happen. I got a call from an old friend and was on the phone most of the morning.

So I went to pick up a few containers today. Well they discontinued them. Makes me mad. I like everything to match. Now they won't! I don't want to buy all new containers just so they all match. Well actually I do, but I won't.

Planning on spending most of my day down there tomorrow to work on it. Hope your day was a creative day.
What were you doing this time last year.

  3. Tracy,
    I am the same way. I like to very organized but then I usually rearrange my stuff and have to do it again. I always seem to think there is a better way to do something. I think I am a little O.C.D. that way.

  7. My biggest problem when I am not organized is that I forget what I have. One of these days I will figure out a system that works.

  13. I love to see scraproom videos. Please let us know when you get yours done! That's a great reason to get organized. I saw someone post recently that they would love to see someone's room as it always is, with stuff out, in the middle of creating. I wonder why no one does that kind of video? LOL. I don't have the nerve but maybe someone will someday....

  17. Good luck with your reorganization. I did some reorganizing early this summer. But it looks like it needs to be done again. I was so irritated when I was looking for something I knew I had and couldn't find it--I eventually did. Good thing--I needed it for a Christmas present I was working on.
