busted.

I'm so guilty. Had a great scrapbook night with my gal pals before the holiday weekend, and didn't accomplish a SINGLE THING. So I don't have that layout to share with you ... YET. In the meantime, I wanted to tell you guys that you ROCK. Holy feedback, Batman. You have fabulous ideas for my web site ... some already "in the works" and some I hadn't thought about yet. Thank you! I'll be in touch again soon with the winners. Still trying to get through all the responses. : )

Addressing a few more questions for today:

{ OLD OFFICE }

Julie inquired about an article in CK that featured my office several years ago. I don't remember the exact issue, and it would take me a bit of time to track it down, but what I can do is share with you a picture that's never been published before.



This was my attic office in Ohio. It's all Cropper Hopper cubes & totes, etc. And the two-tiered island we built in the middle of the room has melamine boards on top. Same with my other desktop areas.

Since that time, Lisa Bearnson & I have been working with the Cropper Hopper team to develop a line of organizational and home dec products (some of it is already available, as you know). I moved with my family across the country last year and have a new home office now. I just don't have it totally done yet. When I do, I'll share some pictures.

{ LABELING EXPOS }

Susan noticed how I organize a lot of my stickers in the Cropper Hopper Expos (p. 207 of CK's latest book, "Organization Tips for Scrapbookers"). My labels on the outside just describe what's inside. So one says "rub-on letters", another says "phrases, definitions, and words", etc.

{ CONVENTION CLASSES }

Laura (who is wondering what I'm teaching at the conventions this year), I am currently developing my classes for the Phoenix (Sept) and Kansas City (Oct) conventions and I will share info & links as we get closer. I'm SURE sketches will be involved though!

{ ADHESIVE }

My current favorite is the Duck Easy-Stick. Works especially well with the textured Bazzill cardstock that we all love.



I'll check in tomorrow & announce the winners.

Wow! Your and Lisa's scrap furniture/storage/accessories line is fabulous! Love that the furniture is unfinished so that it can be painted or stained to personal taste.

It gives me hope that even you go to crops and get nothing done :)

I love the pic of your old office - I think we all dream of being that organised.

Your office is gorgeous! You are so amazingly organized!!! I have a question for you...do you use a Cricut? If you do, how do you adhere the letters you create onto a page? Some of the letters are so small, I can't figure out what to use. Thanks!!

Oh,I love your old office and can't wait to see pictures of your new one. I have been waiting to build a house and have my very own scrapbook room. I hope I can be as organized as you! Lynn

Wow! The mag pictures did not make it seem like it was as well laid out as it really was. Nice use of space, ie island in the middle of the room.

So, seriously, how much are you hoarding from when you started scrapbooking? Are those deco scissors and punches stashed away somewhere in that picture : )

Love ya BH! Totally jealous of your Ohio scrap space, and I am sure your new space will rock just as much!

Have a fabulous week!

Julie asked about a article about your scraproom, i think it was in the ck januari 2004, mission organization, and in the ck november 2001, get organized with becky. My question to you is do you still organize with the Julie Morgenstern formula in your head.

Hi Becky,

Love you old scrapbook room!

Where did you purchase your adhesive. I have not seen it in my area?

Thanks,

Feel like sharing any ideas on moving cards? We're moving the first of August and I'd like to make my cards in the next week or so (it's the planner in me). I really need to get my craft room boxed up soon because I won't be tempted to get side-tracked. Anyways. I'm at a loss for ideas this move. Help?!

Could you tell me what colour green you used on the walls in your office in Ohio and what brand it is?
Thanks
