Wow, can not believe that it has been four months since I last wrote. I just get so busy with work, family, classes that this is always last on my list. I see no one is visiting so that does make it easier I suppose. I wish I had more time but I think we are all like that. So many other things take precident over blogging, scrapbooking, etc. I would love to have a whole day just to scrapbook, read, or whatever. Even when I take vacation there is a long list of things to do. I know one thing that holds me back is the disorganization of my craft room. I share the room with our computer area, which can be good as I can scrapbook and chat with my husband while he is on the internet. But lately it has become a place where I just set things on my desk and walk away. Kind of hard to feel creative in that kind of mess. So today I hope to make some sense of it all. Time to sort and separate the things I want to put in my garage sale and things I know I will really use. See I am a ...collector. Whew, there I said it. I am a craft packrat. I want it all. I don't necessarily use it all but, heh, I have it!! So this afternoon I am going to start cleaning it all out. I have soo much printed paper, buttons, brads, over a 1000 rubber and acrylic stamps, cardstock etc. You know what I mean. I know I am not the only one who is a craft packrat. Well it needs to go. I can't even see my desk for the "stuff" piled on top. Let's see if I actually follow through or if life gets in the way again and I get side tracked by something else. Best day to do it anyway as this morning there is a trace of snow on the ground. Ahhh, got to love the hint of spring with a tease of winter!!
