A-h-h-h-h-h. A place for everything, and everything in its place. Although my housekeeping, or lack of it, seems to deny this compulsion, I really do love organization. I prefer items to be out of sight, but handy and logically placed, which calls for constant negotiation with Don, who is much happier with everything within sight so it is immediately at his fingertips. Lately, I have been organizing my scrapbooking space. My paper fetish had gotten somewhat out of hand, so I organized the patterned paper into design groups and the solid cardstock into color groups. I'd prefer them in file drawers, but I couldn't find any that had 12 x 13 inch drawers.
Stamps, paints, die cuts, and doo dads fill up the labeled boxes and scrap paper is filed into large vinyl envelopes according to color. It will be so nice not to have to hunt through sacks for what I want any more. What? Too much time on my hands? H-m-m-m. Maybe. Or, maybe it is more like sublimation since I can't organize any other part of my life. Anyway, it keeps me busy and makes me feel like I have accomplished something in the end.
