Season of Change

 About this time of year, every year I start to feel what I call a itch. Not a itch actually but something that ya just have to do. A urge, a feeling, a push or maybe even a pull. Just a feeling I guess. I start to get a nesting urge and want to freshen the old homestead with a deep PURGE! LOL Organize, deep clean, paint and burn it down and start over. God forbid on that last part but maybe ya know what I mean?

 I have been working on my studio for 4 years now and it still isn't the way that I want it!?! Crazy I know but true. I get a good start in January and then the creative bug or the I design team projects kinda stop the process. This year I have those obligations again but I think I may have a plan in motion that might help to keep things on track.
I purchased a Day Runner for my creative endeavors and I hope that it will help to keep me on track. A task or two each day as a "TO DO LIST" might help.
 I have already started with some of the things I needed and wanted to do.
I asked for a christmas present to help out and hubby got it for me and gave it to me early.
This little cart will hold all my 6 x 6 paper pads except holiday themed and some of the stamps I like to color. I have some I haven't inked yet. So I will place them in the cart to be used first.

 I am also reorganizing some dies. For my banner dies I picked up this.
I have dies on both sides of this metal memo board from Joann's. I actually bought two. They have a larger one for the wall and I may end up getting that if I expand my collection as this is plum full. I honestly don't know if I will buy more? Ya never know? I have punches too. They work.

I have been converting all my stamps over to cd sleeves for days. I will post that to facebook tomorrow. I have gotten rid of the cd cases and the plastic book cases as well as the Stampin' Up DVD cases. I still have the book cases that are large and have pages to flip in them like Amy R has but I really do like the file system best. After having my stamps stored in so many types of organization. I know I use them  more in that form.

I know my room won't really be done for a long time. Not with the list of things I want to do. Closets, flooring, lights etc. But a little at a time. For NOW I just want it semi done and functional. It won't be the prettiest but if it works that really is the bottom line for me.
 So for now that is what I am working on. I do a little everyday. It takes time and I feel like I am running out! Crazy I know, but I want it done by my birthday. So I can mark it off my list.
 Okay, gonna hit the hay early tonight. I have housework and wrapping to do tomorrow.
 Blessings,Pea
