OMG! Even if I wanted to shop I now have no need to shop. My good friend Laura cleaned out some of her scrap room and was kind enough to send me a TON of stuff. 25 pounds of stuff. Something to the tune of 18 different 12 x 12 books that include all kinds of punch outs and tags and such. 20 different "card maker" pads full of papers, and tags, and quotes and just all kinds of things! Then there is the extra brads, and albums, clip board and the cutest little purse and big punch out letters! It's going to take a while to put all this stuff away. But it makes me so happy to be able to go through all of this. I can't even imagine how many cards I can make out of all of it. Or the pages and albums I can put together.
Now I don't even feel the need to buy anything. I just want to use all this new stuff that I got. It's like Christmas plus!!!
In order to organize all this, I think I'm going to break down the 12 x 12 paper pads by color, because that is how my current 12 x 12 is organized.
Then, the extra embellishments will be categorized with the same types. Birthdays, animals, school, hearts, etc. As best I can. The tags, I may actually cut out all the tags so that they are "ready" when I want to use them on a card. OR, I may put them in 8.5 by 11 page protectors to be able to flip through the pages to see what I have. Haven't figured that one out yet. But I know I will. I have to be organized in order to quickly find things in my room. It's all about the organizing.
So thank you Laura! Thank you for giving me a new project and new toys to play with. No need to shop.
