DAY 1 RE-ORGANIZING CHALLENGE

Paper organizing.

Here we are... off to look at, play with, smell, touch, organize the paper.... I love paper. I have added so much paper to these shelves since the day I took this picture a couple years ago. I know I have a lot of paper and I know I should give some of it away... but I have this problem.... I am an addict..... I might need a 12 step program to do this purge...... I have to say I am pretty organized with the paper tho.....

I have sorted it by colors and or pattern. so I can easily see what I have. and all the papers that are on each shelf is sorted by the like paper. so that if I have more than one sheet they are all together.

OK I have decided to take Katie's re-organization challenge from her blog http://kmthornton.wordpress.com/ hopefully I can get this place into shape some what easily.
Since my scrap space is based on my desk, shelves, and totes under the bed I am hoping this will go smoothly. I could do some kind of RAK or RAKS depending on how much stuff I find I no longer need. I thought about having a friend that doesn't have much scrapping stuff to come over and go through my supplies with me. If she doesn't want much and I still have stuff left I will do a rak or 2 or something like that.

happy cleaning......

my lil man

Gadget, is the best thing in the world. He was given to me as a Christmas gift from Mark. Gadget came home to me a few days after Christmas at the very young age of 3 weeks. No I don't recommend this to anybody. It was a lot of love and work to get him past going away from his mom way too early.... but for him it was the best thing I could have done. I had to bottle feed him and I carried him around on my chest wrapped in a fleece blanket for months. He went through doggie school too. He is an awesome doggie student. he learned and showed everybody that he could do everythign when he is taught to do it. He loves doing his trick... but the thing that keeps us cracking up at him is he thinks he is a cat.... yep I said CAT! he will not come when called unless you say "Here Kitty kittty kitty" He grew up with a cat the first year of his life. they did everythign together. and he will sit for hours and clean himself just like a cat.

Princess Pearl

Little Princess Pearl came into our lives one summer afternoon. I just happen to be at the right place at the right time. She was there. and she was meant to be mine. She went to doggie school and graduated. I call her my perfect dog except her barking. she is perfect in every way but she barks and doesn't like to stop when told. She is a wonderful member on the family.
