Week 25 - Negatives

WOO HOO - I have all of my negatives D.O.N.E - Well, I think that I do and I started working on this a long LONG time ago - before I got my digital camera and I had so many negatives and they were driving me crazy, so I bought negative sleeves that fit in a regular binder and spent hours and hours organizing them and labeling them...and the 3" binder is FULL - but it sure is easier to deal with 1 binder than bags and bags of negatives....and...and

Week 24 - Memorabilia

I always come home from trips with a big envelope FULL of pamphlets, tickets and other memorabilia from trips.  I just recently purchased an accordion file box with a handle, to put these kinds of things in.  I'm going to keep items sorted by trip...I can't think of any reason to do it any other way.  I haven't put all memorabilia in it yet...but as I accumulate new things (like stuff from PJ's school), I'm putting them in.

Week 23 - Templates

Templates - seems easy enough...sort by type or by theme...done.  I have a few Coluzzles and a few deluxe cut layout templates (which are now discontinued), some lettering templates and I think a few other templates (for folding).  The ones that are letter size, are stored in the same place as my nestabilities (binder) and my Deluxe cut ones & alphabet ones are in a bag near my crop bags (I used to use them a lot, so had them in a really convenient place).

See the original post here when she has links of ideas on how to store these.  I guess I have to figure out if I want to keep them....they don't take up a lot of room, but if I'm not using them...why are they here?

Scrapbook layout - 2010 Fun with Papa

PJ took his 1st escalator ride with Papa - he loved it and they had to go up and down the same one several times. 

I had to reformat my Gypsy so all my files are gone...so knowing which carts were used will be a challenge.  I believe the font is Out of Character and the frame is from fancy frames...but I could be totally wrong.

Week 22 - Dies for Die cutting machines

This is yet ANOTHER easy one for me...other than embossing folders, I think I have 3 dies - and they came with the cuttlebug...so I don't really have an issue with this.  I'm SO GLAD that I held off on die cutting systems until the cricut was born...I certainly wouldn't have had room for all of those wooden dies...NOR the cute little metal ones...that, and I like to be able to change the sizes...so dies are so NOT my thing.  Actually, I do have a couple more dies that match with a stamp set...and they are kept together with all my stamps

Having said that...I do, however, have some nestabilities that I have N.E.V.E.R used!  They are stored in pocket pages on magnetic sheets (looks like slide-in photo sleeves) and are in a binder somewhere in the room - and I think there might be a mailing pouch full of unopened ones...somewhere in here...I really need to determine if I'll bother keeping them or not.  I can see they could be useful...but because of my limited space, they are out of sight because they'd be too hard to use (I don't even have room to use my cuttlebug for embossing).

See the original post about this here and she has several links for ideas on storing these bulky items.
