G'Day! I've always wanted to visit Australia and for our 18-year anniversary and my ___ birthday, we went this year! We visited Cairns, Green Island and Port Douglas. We snorkeled, hiked the Daintree rainforest and held a Koala. Because when you are in Australia, you have to say, "take my money and let me hold that baby koala!"
Apple, the wallaby, visited the resort's open-air lobby some evenings. I wanted to bring her home.
As if to say, "This is my good side", while I took the picture.
Also, here are some pics of my tiny scrap space. I'm very thankful for what I have and when we saw this apartment here in Hong Kong, we knew it was perfect. It had built in shelves, for crying out loud! Ha!
Above: The desk along side the window was a free computer desk. I needed extra horizontal space since I have the sewing machine on my desk as well.
Above: I'm still organizing things where I'd like them. Some things don't seem to change much, as I have discovered the best way to keep my supplies to use them. Other things are a work in progress.
Above: Since we were limited on how many pounds of stuff we could bring, I narrowed my stash down to 3 paper holders, 2 albums (blank for the years we will be here). The cubby to the right of the paper is where my sheet protectors are and some kit items and plain card stock. Then, my HK printer fits in the last cubby. Yay!
Above: Overview of most of the cubbies. Love this but-in!
Above: Basket of punches, stamps and sprays. the stamps on the bottom are in disarray and I am currently looking for a better solution.
Above: This usually gets moved to my desk while I make my Project Life stuff. It's actually a wood silverware organizer repurposed for my Project life cars, tags and small envelopes.
Above: Here are my embellishments organized by color. This system has worked great for me for the past several years. I mostly scrap by color, so this is great. Below: Example of the Red, Orange, Yellow box of embellishments.
Above: 6x6 and 8x8 paper pads. I use these a lot with my Project life stuff.
Above: Alpha stickers, sorted by color, of course. :-)
Above: This is my basket of "travel" themed items. While I almost always organize by color, this basket and my Christmas box of goodies are the exceptions.
Above: Free computer desk! Yay! So, I have my scraps sorted by color and in 12x12 sheet protectors. Easy to reach for putting scraps away and getting the right color scrap out. I need to challenge myself to make a complete layout (or 10) using just scraps!
Above: Top of my desk has my new 3x4 punch (love it), new embellishments, planner labels, date stamps, and tools.
Well, that's about it! I am still figuring a lot of it out, but so far this mostly works. Let me know if you have a great organizing idea! I'd love to see it!
xoxo,
Glynda
