Confession Time

I am much more of a card maker than a scrapbooker ****gasp****. Don't get me wrong, I love to scrapbook, but for a few reasons, I'm not good at keeping up. Maybe you can relate.

1. My kids were half grown when scrapbooking became so popular so it's hard to get motivated to go back.


2. My pictures are just in boxes of all sizes, and stirred up so it makes it very difficult to know the order.


3. I have a digital camera and forget to print. (Am I the only one like this?)


So anyway, I recently started doing once a month crops for my customers that love that sort of thing and I've decided that I need to get busy. Quite a while back I did get some plastic shoe boxes and label one for each kid and sorted my photos by kids. The other night at the crop I took Kayla's box (since she's going to graduate this next year I thought I'd better get started). I pretty much spent the night with my box of pictures reminiscing about when she was so little. I did try and put them in some order, but my stacks kept getting confused. The night ended and I hadn't gotten much done on it.


Last night Jim wanted to listen to the last Dave Ramsey class on CD that he missed and I didn't mind hearing it again so I got out my box to sort (I hate just sitting, don't you?) It was then that I had a light bulb go off in my head. Why not use our Close to My Heart stamp storage boxes to organize my photos? I got some envelopes and wha-lah! Organization finally! My only trouble was that Jim kept grabbing my stacks to go through the pictures, but I can't fault him for that. That's why we take pictures!


Now, if I could just figure out a way to get my digital ones printed! (Yes, I know how to get them printed...it's just getting it done that's getting me)


You are Close to My Heart,

Yvonne

Hi Yvonne! :)

Are you loving Dave Ramsey? We ended up leading the class at our church 3 times - and paid off $65K in debt in 19 months following his plan. Love it!! I know Maria likes him too. :)

Great idea about the storage boxes too.

Absolutely loving Dave Ramsey and I'm not a numbers cruncher. We have been fortunate to be debt free (except for the house) but somehow don't have any money left at the end of the month so I know this will help with that. Everyone needs this class!

Hugs,
Yvonne
