The Countdown Begins...

It's less than a week until August 1st and the start of our Scrapping The Music Blogiversary party!  We are getting super excited for our month-long celebration, and we hope you will be joining us!  We are going to have a special format for the month of August which will include more ways to win and more songs for inspiration, plus a fun guessing game!  Yeayyy!!!

I've been working behind the scenes on the Scrapping The Music stuff, so I don't have any art to share right now; but I do have a new system for organizing my embellies!  I sorted them into these boxes by color.  Here are a few pics:

Blues/Greens

Yellows/Oranges

Pinks

Warm Neutrals

 

 I also have a box each for Black/White, Earthtones, Brights and Pastels.  It just makes me happy to look at everything organized like this!

and what's really cool is they fit perfectly into this tote box that I got at Michael's awhile back...!

I brought the tote to my crop on Saturday and it worked fabulously! One word of caution tho - these boxes work great for larger embellies and they are super cheap, which is a bonus!  But they don't shut real tight, so I wouldn't necessarily use them for anything tiny like beads or brads (that's why you see the tape - making sure they stay shut).

I also took a new pic of my journal shelf, which is really starting to fill up!  I've got 35 completed journals now (since 2007)...

Oh, and also, I've been reading this book and LOVING it!...

I bought it a long time ago, but just got around to reading it.  It is exactly what I need to hear right now.  Soooo helpful.

Alrighty, that's it for now, but I will be back soon with another update.  Thank you SO much for visiting!
