WOYWW #359



Happy WOYWW to everyone.........it does feel like time is flying by and it really doesn't feel like 7 days since I last posted. So I haven't been crafting at all but reorganising and getting rid of clutter in my house but I did get a few things done in my studio. 

I forgot to take a picture of how I did store my scrap papers but they where in those large Ziploc bags that hold 12x12 paper and where busting full and I found a video on line but forgot exactly which ones I watched and took ideas from a few. Here is the picture of the box I had it stored in before full oof the paper I have decided to recycle.


Oh not the best picture but this is my new storage they are the large legal size plastic file holders from Staples. I have them divided by colour and the last one is special paper and season paper. Hoping this one works better as I can only hold so much in each one.


 

I made little 1/2 inch  according flaps for each one hence the limit of what I can have now. And I used my Stampin' Up tab punch which fits to know what is in each folder. My room stayed clean as I did this in the living room while watching T.V. To  pass the time.

Also I have changed my storage for my thin wafer dies which are now in a 6x6 album placed on scraps of magnet sheets. I did have to extend the posts as I wanted them all in one book as I have not a lot and the dies with matching stamps are in there to.



Well after super my darling sister texts me to say did a parcel arrive for me as she was hoping my birthday gift had been delivered as it said it was on tracking, so a quick walk down to the mail box and yup it was there and to arrive on my birthday was so perfect to add to my day. 


Here is everything she sent me ribbon red and white, planner stickers, Christmas embellishments, embossing powder from here stash in the plastic little bags, stamps to borrow for awhile( we do this mail them to change up our stash for a while),  Chapstick  (minion lol I love those little guys)tea, live savers (I need those :P ) the hand made card with the girl dressed like a flower and the t-shirt which she thought would make me smile and it did I love it. The best thing is our home made gift we do for birthdays and Christmas which is the mini album she has made and taken such love in it of all her mini decorated pages. I just took a few pics of some pages which our posted below and I picked up a few mini inks from Michael's  craft store with the 60 percent off coupon....took my girls so I could use more then one on all the sets. Oh before I forget my middle daughter made me the blue card for my birthday which she spent hours on making me while keeping me from my studio last night (she did a great job on making it and I love it) 




Well I am also wanting to say thank you to ever who comment last week and visited, I enjoyed everyone's  nice comments. I still have a week til I draw for my birthday giveaway candy and if you make a comment on last weeks posts and leave a comment I will add your name for the goodies and is open worldwide. 

Okay I am off as it is Tuesday night and going back to check the forest fire reports for northern Alberta and British Columbia as my loving husband is working and the fires are not super close but close enough the winds have died down which I pray for everyone out there they stay safe. 

Hugs ~Anne

  9. Lovely birthday gift - and that T-shirt!! I really should get one that is me to a T. Great organisation, I have lots of folders for my scraps - but now you have to remember to go to the scrap box and not just cut another sheet of card!! I am slowly die cutting a lot of my scrap into flower shapes - if nothing else I can donate them to various kids for playing. Happy Birthday!! Happy Wednesday, Cindy #29

  14. Happy Birthday and glad your gift arrived on the day. The mini album looks lovely. What a lovely idea that you make them for each other. I really like your tee shirt and greatly impressed by the way you have organised your stuff. Could do with a visit from you to sort me out! Now that would give you a headache. Stay safe. Barbx #26

  16. Happy happy birthday. I was very interested in your organizing of scraps. I don't have scraps, I have collage materials ... LOL no matter what you call it a rose is a rose is a possible embellishment.
    Thanks for sharing
