LOM Category Drawers and More!

Whew! So much to say, so little time!

This is always such a busy time of year for our family. The school routine and activities keep us hopping all week, weekends have been beautiful for getting outside, at the office we're non-stop right now - and I'm up late packing for Scrapfest this weekend (yahoo!) and getting RAKs ready to be mailed.

In the midst of everything, I've been managing to stay reasonably caught up (believe it or not!) in my LOM class. I found awesome 6-up albums at Wal-Mart for my Storage Binders, and the above photo is a peek at my category drawers. These drawer units were a cast off after many years of use at the office, and since they are index card sized, they're perfect for storing 4 x 6 photos. I just covered the well-worn fronts with patterned paper. The drawer in the photo is my Us/People drawer. Since I only have 2 drawers, I've put Us/People together and Places/Things together. I feel so organized! :-}

I've been taking quite a few Project 365 photos - maybe not one every day, but at least 7 every week - however they are not even uploaded from my camera yet. I'm hoping I'll have a chance to post some soon. I found another sweet photo connection to an old photo of the girls, so I'm hoping to get that posted next. I also got a lovely shot of all 3 kids on Easter Sunday at their Grandma and Grandpa's.

I've been so busy, I've barely had time to be excited about Scrapfest! I'm really looking forward to seeing so many of my scrapping friends there. If you're going, drop me a line and we'll try to meet up. I'll be cropping with Sue and Nancy, and hopefully being reasonably productive, and not just socializing, right Sue? :-} I'm also in Cathie Allen's Faux Leather Album class on Saturday afternoon, so if you are too, let me know. It's such a beautiful project. You can join me, Janice, Patti and Elia in having the rowdiest table! :-}

I'm also planning a quick trip to Edmonton for my Mom's 85th birthday (85 - can you believe it!) in mid-May. So Edmonton friends, touch base and we'll make the most of my short visit. Of course, a trip to Treasured Memories (if you want to meet me there, let me know!), a meal at Earls and a visit to my beloved Olive Garden (non-existent out here) are definitely in the plans!

I'll be checking in again once Scrapfest is over. I can start posting the projects I've been keeping under wraps until the show. I can't wait! Stay tuned. :-}
