Organize All the Things!

We have new organizers, and mine arrived yesterday. I love them! The small one is perfect for holding large, flat items like our color ready or felt alphabets, rub-ons, and Sparkles Flourishes. It stacks nicely atop the medium one, which I have not quite filled with bulk ribbons, ribbon rounds, paper flowers, mini medley assortments, and more. I love all the little dividers, but they're removable if you need more room in one spot. To make packing easier, I was able to fit both into a large tote from Thirty-One; I don't remember its name but it is the one you can receive as a hostess. With both bins in it I could zip the bag completely, but I will probably forego that in order to be able to add a few more things, like my CTMH stapler, our old embellishment case with all the craft jars, and our zippered accessories cases. Here are a couple of photos, including one with our black accessories case for scale. Contact me if you would like to order these or anything else!

Do you remember...

When you began scrapping? My 5 year old daughter is ready. She is very artistic, and I finally realized she is old enough to learn the basics. I'm excited, as you can tell: I just went a little crazy in the clearance section! I even got her a page kit! 

I'm a little nervous too. It's such a big part of my life, I hope she enjoys it as much as I do. I hope I'm patient with her. I hope she doesn't get better than me too quickly. :)

But it brought me back to my early days when I went on sticker and page kit binges. It was fun to do that again! Let's see what she creates!
