Organizational Skills

Have you ever laid something down and then minutes later not been able to find it again? I know I do all the time. I wasn’t like this pre-children – so it must be because I’ve got are teenagers right, and not because of my age!

I’ve just spent the past 30 minutes hunting for a stamp set that I used yesterday and can’t find it. I’m sure I left it on my desk where I planned on using it next. I’m thinking this is my cosmic pay back for feeling rather smug yesterday for reaching my goals and being on schedule with things.

Grrrr… Well I got to thinking that I can’t be the only one with a craft room that looks like it exploded, right? So I thought I would share with you a photo of what my room looks like.

Keep in mind I’m normally very good at organizing my spot after I’m done creating but with learning new technology, events, and my daughter’s competition band season in full swing I just haven’t been home much and haven’t gotten things done like I normally do. Sound familiar?

Be prepared  – if you are a little compulsive, here’s your warning – don’t look!

Made you smile huh? I bet you’re feeling better about your space right now!

Getting Organized with the 2012 Holiday Catalog

Today I’m going to share with you one of my organizing items that I have put together for our new 2012-2013 Holiday Catalog that was introduced August 1st. The Holiday Catalog has some wonderful new products in it I think you’ll love and with the new bundles and suites it’s a great way to jump off your holiday projects.

Here is my Designer Series Paper Chart. The chart is an easy reference for you to have and shows all the card stock colors contained in each Designer Series Paper along with some of the specialty papers, etc.

Getting Organized

Today I’m going to share with you some organizing items that I have put together for our new 2012-2013 Catalog that was introduced June 1st. It has some wonderful new products in it I think you’ll love. Check out my Catalog Luau Launch Party coming up soon by clicking HERE – I’d love for you to come and get some of the FREE goodies.

The first item is my Designer Series Paper Chart. The chart is an easy reference for you to have and shows all the card stock colors contained in each Designer Series Paper.

Next, I have updated the labels for our Classic Ink Pads and Hanging File Folders for all our card stock. I always love to have things easy to find and these work great. All you need to have is sheet of Avery Labels #8160 and Word Window Punch to punch out your Classic Ink Pad Labels. Although, with our new ink pads this is really no longer needed since labels are included with our NEW Firm Foam Classic Ink Pads for you. I just thought some of you may like the consistency.

I also like to use them on my little tool holding drawers where I store my Stampin’ Sponges, Reinker and Sponge Daubers.  I like to use Avery Labels # 5267 for my hanging file folder labels since they are clear and I just put them on a small piece of card stock so you can see the color through it.

Getting Organized with the New 2012-2013 Catalog

Did you notice that the new 2012-2013 Catalog doesn’t have an Accessory Index? This is something that I use all the time since I have CRS. That simply means I can’t remember stuff according to my kids. It’s a running joke in our house since my teenagers seem to have it too. I notice it a lot when I mention the chores they haven’t done – seems they can’t remember me telling them to do them. Sound familiar?

 

Anyhow…. If you’re like me and use the index for a handy reference so you don’t have to remember what page things are on – here is a handy PDF that you can print and add to your catalog to make things easier.
