Success!

I finally got all my scrap/card stuff

sorted. And found a spot for all of it.

Now the trick is to keep it this way

(see below for before photos!):

Our Cookie Tradition

Every December Marilyn, my daughter Angela and I

get together to make cookies. Usually we do it over two

days but this year Marilyn and Angela worked at

Marilyn's house and I worked at my Mom's house.

They made 300+ snowball cookies and 300+

peanut butter blossoms. I made 500 spritz cookies.

(My back is still making me pay for that!). No short

cuts here, just lots of butter, flour, sugar, eggs......

My current project...

Okay, so my scrap stuff is out of control again.

And I have been planning to move my stuff from

the kitchen, back up to my extra room. So I have

to take of of this:

(the drawers all full of scrap stuff too), sort it, organize it and fit it in here:

Hopefully in time to still make Christmas cards and a few small gifts.

Nothing like a little pressure!

Take me with you!

As soon as I put my suitcase out to pack for an expo,

Copper hopped in. He was hoping I would take him with

me. He doesn't like it when I leave.
