Boxes & Boxes, Oh My!

I'm still breaking into boxes but I bought a really nice bookshelf used for $35. I'm sure it was over $100 when it was new. So my storage needs are taken care of. I did decide to go through a box of papers rather than chucking the whole thing at once. I'm glad I chose to do it this way. I found papers from my therapist days. They are valuable to my heart. Birthday cards my daughter made for me when she was 7 or 8, too. Hey! I'm very happy to have them. I am still struggling with a wedding card. The exterior is complete. It's just the verse and layout on the inside. It's been so long I've forgotten how to set up the printing, etc. I need to find the time to commit to remembering and discovering what's new in card making software. I hope there is something that makes it nice and easy. YouTube helps a lot with ideas and tutorials. Photos coming soon.

Another Chapter

We've been living in our rental home for nearly 2 years now so I'm finally settling in the craft room. I haven't unpacked some of these boxes for 4 or 5 years. Its wonderful to open a box and see Grand Adhesions looking back at me! But then i open another box and, sometimes, it's full of papers! That is horror. Decisions. Do I just toss the whole box? Or do I go through, page by page, deciding where each paper belongs. I have to make room in there so I can get back to what I love. All of this scrapbooking, cardmaking, altered art, etc., it is a driving force in my life. It lights a fire under me. Heaven knows I need that. Here's to conquering another box today! Will share my progress later ...   b
