Headliners



So these are my new favorite things. I used some last summer for my trip to Niagara Falls and also for a visit with my nieces and nephews. This year, my vacations included the fabulous cities of Cleveland and Pittsburgh, but alas, there were no headliners for those places.

So I emailed the company, CraftersOutpost.com, and asked if they would consider making Headliners for Cleveland and Pittsburgh. The same day I wrote to them, they wrote back and said they'd love to design the headliners I requested and that it should take a week or so.

Not three days later, they emailed again to say the headliners were posted on eBay and I could buy them from their store there. So I did! And they arrived in my mailbox two days later. And I love them!!

Organizing


Yup, that's all I've been doing lately. I don't know how my things get so unorganized, but every few months, I have to set aside a few hours to organize. Actually, it's not that things are unorganized, but I get some new stuff and want to put it away, or I come up with a new way of organizing something and have to do it all over again.

I just emailed my CMC to get another one of these decofile folders. I already have one and like it for the big paper and also because it has a over-the-shoulder strap that makes it easy to tote around. Since I've been swapping on Scrap Share, I've needed to keep track of CM papers and LSS papers, hence the need for another folder.

Currently, I'm having trouble with all those storyboxes from CM. I don't know what to do with them--with some of them, I've organized them by color (according to the rainbow, of course), but then with others, I feel like I can't really do that. I was working with the everyday pack, and there's just no way to put that into the ROYGBIV format. So I just kept those together. But I did move all the storyboxes and other journaling boxes into a mini-sort box, which I like better than those smaller blue organizers I was using.

I have some vacation photos to scrap, plus my nephew's first swimming adventure, and a couple more baseball stadiums to do. So I have plenty to keep me busy on July 28, which is the all day crop my CMC is holding. I can't wait!!
