Shortly I will post photos from my two weeks off and my organizing efforts. Like things with Like things is my mantra!

I had no idea the circles on the tags would be such a hit. glad you like them and I hope you will try it too. I do have a circle punch that I use so don't know if that is something your hands can manage but it makes cutting circles way faster.

I too use my kitchen table then out all I'm keeping on a rolling table (old hospital adjust thingy) and move to the studio. More purging and sorting on schedule for this week. I like the idea of like with like... Thanks for the tips. Shame about your new camera biting the ballet.

SORRY!
WO...OMG, I forgot to talk about your gifts. SORRY!<br /><br />WOW, they are both lovely, lucky you to be the receiver of them. I will check out both their blogs later and see them. Thanks for sharing, it is so nice to get homemade gifts isn't it. I just received some beautiful things from blog friends in Australia and can't wait to show them. <br /><br />Ok, now I really must go before I take up all your comment space, lol. dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763553809671436129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-50693679838136688042014-01-12T19:46:30.168-06:002014-01-12T19:46:30.168-06:00Elisabeth, you are so awesome and always have just...Elisabeth, you are so awesome and always have just what I need on your blog. YAY!!<br /><br />Thank you so much for these helpful ideas. They did help me so much. I have been a wreck all weekend trying to redo my craft space, it's a little wall in the family room. Since getting those bookshelves in there I am ready to move forward and do more cleaning up of my little space. <br /><br />I love and needed to hear the part about changing it up as we change. THANK YOU!! All this time I keep holding on to my scrap space and having it take up lots of room and I don't really scrap too much anymore. I have PL and mostly care about that, so just last night I had a talk and quiet time and told myself it was ok to let this stuff go. I went thru it and am keeping some of my favorite things but packing the rest away. Guess what, it feels good and more free. Wish I had read this before all this started, my poor hubby had to hear me whining and getting frustrated. <br /><br />Second thing, I hang onto every little thing. My scrap stuff and the kids papers. Well, I also went thru all these things this week and told myself to get rid of some of it and to not collect all these papers during 2014. Guess what, it feels GOOD!! <br />I feel a little sad but overall know it's best. Like you said if I kept it all we'd need another house just to store things in. <br /><br />I like everything else you share too, SO HELPFUL!!! THANK YOU!!<br /><br />Sorry, I wrote so much, if you had an email I would use that but this is my only way to connect with you. <br /><br />Read your post below too, YIPPEEE!!! So excited your doing the Project 52, so glad you can utilize your files. I am actually thinking of joining too. Need to catch up too if I do. <br /><br />I just tried to do a post before coming here but it won't let me. Not sure why but will try again tomorrow or Tuesday for T time. I do babysit tomorrow and my bible study starts back up so not much time to play around with it. Just wanted you to know. <br /><br />Thanks so much for these much needed and excited for posts. Hope you are warmer by now! We are doing good, just wind and rain. <br />Take care and see you soon, HUGS!dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763553809671436129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-85676067461378414242014-01-12T18:11:21.484-06:002014-01-12T18:11:21.484-06:00very helpful, thank you.
