ORGANIZATION

I have decided that I am getting organized, one day, one project at a time. My first project is going through my magazine. I tend to hold on to things. SO--I am going through magazines, tearing out articles, ideas, crafts, recipes that interest me. I will then put those items in 3 ring binders according to what they are and recycle the magazines. I have made quite a dent in my magazine and have discovered a lot of ideas that I want to do. I have also made a couple of the ideas. Now, if they were still in the magazines, I probably would have never made them, because I couldn't find the idea that I was thinking about. I made a craft called the "Rope it in Basket." This idea comes out of the "Crafty U" book by Rosie O'Donnell. It was a very cute idea and the basket came out great. I tried it myself first, and this week, Emily and her friend B will make one (along with me) I will have to take a pict and post it. Cute cute cute decorative basket. Basically blow up a balloon, cut yarn, string, ribbon, rope, whatever, soak in glue, then drape over the balloon (which I had propped in a plastic cup) let it dry, pop the balloon and voila cute basket. I love doing crafty, arty projects--I am sure this stems from my Art History degree, scrapbooking obsession, and passion for just creating. My newest creative obsession: recycled art. Working on a project with photo slides--will post when finished.
