Day 9

Well today I decided to take a picture of something that I so need to focus on......organizing my scrapbooking supplies. Right now we are renting a home while our home is under construction, so I have no room for my scrapbooking supplies. I have not done a page in so long, I want to but man having to drag all that stuff out to the dining room table then put it all back is a pain. The new house will have an upstairs gameroom that I have already designed in my home. It will truely be the family room. A large 73in TV (I already picked it out) with a large sectional sofa with three ottomans, yes three, I want it to be a place we can as the family lounge together for movies. Then behind the couch will be my tables in an L-shape, I've already picked them out from Ikea (the build your own tables section), then across the landing will be the computer room for the family. See....told you I had it all dreamed up, I've got the colors picked out too...along with my Mac (shhhh!) that is my secret no one else knows, it's in the new house furniture budget, I made sure. So here is the closet I have right now...see how UN-ORGANIZED it is.

Feel free to CC me.... but this time today I am soooo tired, I really didn't try to hard on composition, focus or creativity, sorry!

Lots of scrap supplies! Sounds like you'll have a very inspiring new space to catch up on your scrapping. That new family lounge sounds wonderful. My dh and ds's would die for a TV like that!

I love organizing, especially closets. I had a wonderful time when Christmas was over and I had to re-organize my kids' toy closet. Is that as lame as it sounds!? ;)

Debbi said...

Looks like my scrapbook stuff....kinda overwhelming to start organizing it, isn't it?

Bobbi said...

Wow, you have a lot of stuff...I am kind of an organized disorganized kinda girl so good luck :)

Jennifer said...

Yep I have a closet that looks like this too, lol! Hope you get some time in your new home to organize and use it all!!

Danielle said...

Katie said...

It is worth the wait. We just finished building and I got my own craft room/office. Dont think I keep it any neater though. I like the idea that I can leave stuff out and come back to it later if I want. We also made a huge game room for the kiddos. Instead of sofas we got these huge beanbags virtually indistructable. They are called luv sacs.

I'm liking doing more and more digiscrapping. . . less stuff to have to organize! (sort of). Nice being on theme.

Anita said...

I so hear ya! I need to organize and purge! What a great thing to focus on!

Ljsmom33 said...

That will be really nice to have a certain place for all your scrapping stuff. I know the pain of dragging it all out and then having to put it all back again.

Kristen said...

Congrats on the house, and space for your crafts. It's hard to be unable to work on your hobby. At least your camera doesn't take up much room :)

Val said...
