Organize your Stuff: Week 29 (round 3): Finale- Room and Space Décor (part 2)

This is the last day of Round Three (Awwwww). Like we posted earlier in the week, that means that the old scrap room is officially emptied out…and the new one is a little over cluttered. We guess that is probably why we are getting ready for Round Four!!!

Here is our scrap room in its messy glory! The POW thinks that you deserve to see our room warts and all. OCD Me wants you to know that we have been at CKC Portland since Thursday, and therefore this is a little messier than usual, as we tore the place apart to pack, and dumped the stuff when we returned.

Speaking of CKC Portland, it was FABULOUS! We thought that we would have to drag the Inner Hoarder out of there, because she just wanted to buy everything! However, we did know that there was a budget, and tried to stick to it.

We attended three crops, and FINALLY got Easter 2010 finished! Ok…no journaling yet, but the POW is just glad to get ‘er done! We think it is a mental block, but mini albums seem to take us forever to finish!

Tracy- Creative Me finally learned how to use Copics, and they are now officially on our must have list! It really does make a world of difference…if you know how to use them, and after taking Copics I, II, & III, Creative Me feels much more confident.

Anyone going to CKC around the US, the Technique Tuesday In Bloom Class is worth it. It spoke to all our personalities and was really great! Creative Me got to be…well creative. OCD Me and The POW loved that the class did not do a layout, but rather had you put your flowers/ flower techniques on 4x6 cards with directions, so that Creative Me could actually recreate them at a later date. Like most CKC classes, we did not finish, which was OK with PA Me, but there were great directions, so The POW may actually get her to finish. Finally, we got a “free” gift at the booth with a $10 purchase for attending the class, so the Inner Hoarder got to shop!

Are you ready for round 4?

Organize your Stuff: Week 29 (round 3): Finale- Room and Space Décor (part 1)

It is Tuesday again! It has been a rough week, but we have survived. Poor Oldest Child had the stomach bug and got sent home for two days (which got us out of jury duty to pick him up), we were in a jury duty holding pattern… and never got to see a real case… and there was the baby invasion!

Even with the invasion of the bedroom snatchers and OCD Me and the POW trying desperately to make sure that there were two clean and empty bedrooms for them to snatch… Creative Me found time to create this card for our Design Team post to Tuesday Trio for Sketch #59.

If you don’t see it, that is OK. Daily, our moderator, didn’t see it either, and we actually had to send this to her as she thought that we had created off of the wrong sketch!

Just in case you are wondering (or missed it earlier) we are officially the little old lady who lived in the shoe, who had so many kids (cats, dogs, spare parents) that we did not know what to do! That’s okay. Life in the shoebox is bound to be an adventure! Fabulous Spouse’s brother is going to Iraq soon, and so Awesome Auntie, the Toddler, the Baby, Cat #1, Cat #2, the Dog are our permanent house guests … or at least for the next year. Illusive Middle Child is now the Big Man on Campus, and Girl Friday has gone into Little Mommy overload. We think that the Oldest Child is ignoring the whole thing, but he is a bit psyched about the Dog (in Oldest Child lingo- that totally pones…don’t ask me, it is what he says).

As for this week, it is finally the Finale! Say that ten times fast!!! Believe it or not, the old death trap of a scrap room from Round 2 is now completely empty, vacuumed and painted penitentiary grey and six coats of red (as per Awesome Auntie’s request) for the nursery for her two little ones. This means that the Dining Room-now-Scrap Room is a little over cluttered (OCD Me will not allow pictures at this time.  She needs to straighten up first). Fortunately or un-, one of Awesome Auntie’s personalities is the De-Cluttering Fairy (unfortunately not related to the illusive laundry fairy, or the deep pocketed and equally illusive tooth fairy). That means that by the end of Round 4, our scrap room will look fabulous (especially if somehow the Declutter Fairy, OCD Me and the POW join forces *gasp*).
