YouTube video:   Well, I was able to finish up this book and get it all shipped out to Oregon. So excited and relieved. Then reality set in, and I have a few pages I did not take pictures of, and I did not finish creating the Cricut files before shipping. It's what I call back from VaCa brain!  Soooooo I am using the video to get the missing pages, and I will do my best.  When watching the replay on the completed album I realized I did 59 pages including the cover page. yikes!!!! Here are the last of the layouts I am going to work hard and get the cut files ready.

 Just getting all my holiday gifts wrapped and ready to ship.  I started to use some wood tags I got a while back from CTMH but I wasn't happy with the look, so I decided to create them myself.

Organizing - Organizing - Organizing

             A  while ago I was doing the 30-day Challenge with Cass from Clutterbug and I hiccupped to the 10th degree on my crafting space.   I was unhappy but, not like "Oh I hate my space" more like "I have more than I use and more than I can manage" in my brain stuff. So here is the gist of what I have done and some files if you are interested in doing the same.  I was really intrigued with the storage bits from The Stamp Market - Kelly Baxter- Fitzgerald shared them on her video of her scraproom. I debated buying them through The Stamp Market but there were 2 problems - 1. you get 12 for $12.99 and I need almost 300 so that is about $325 not counting shipping and 2. you have to wait longer than amazon shipping. I know it's okay for some but once I decide to do something I lose my momentum if I have to wait longer than a few days. The process started with:      Organize my dies  - Don't re buy the same die!

Clutterbug Challenge - Days 25-30

  inside the cubby between our chairs - all cleared out and just what we regularly use:) I took the pile of papers I have been stuff shuffling and entered the bits into Google Keep. It' s a great program to have so I can share my notes from my computer to the phone. I do this regularly, so I have a bunch for Just between friends and if they are to warn I toss Game area Bins I got for the misc kid games that get messy. These bags have kept things so tidy.  LOVE LOVE LOVE I purge here regularly so I left this area alone and took a break:) Working on this - it's a little overwhelming but I will slowly  trudge through this and I plan to add this to my weekly cleaning,  Hopefully with it regularly handled it won't overwhelm me as much
