How many books do you have?

I have over 1500 children’s books.  I know because in the late 90s, I was teaching and, imagining the future children I hoped to have, collecting books mostly via the Scholastic book clubs I sent home with my students, and I created a database of all of ones I had then.  They numbered 1500 then.

new desks!

We have made good progress painting the rooms in our house.  The blue room, aka George (as in Weasley*), the room formerly known as the dining room, is pretty much done.  Robert really worked hard on the dark blue below the chair rail, which required several coats for good coverage.  He struggled with the chair [...]

Project 365 Day 29, 30, 31, and 32!

I have taken pictures!  I just haven’t posted in my blog.  I’m thinking of starting a new blog.  I need to create a watermark to protect my photos since I can’t right-click protect them here.  Or maybe I’ll start sharing my Project 365 photos on my Smugmug, where I can right-click protect. I just like [...]

Project 365 Day 16

Reorganizing the shelves means old stuff becomes new and exciting again.

Project 365 Day 15 Which angle?

I’m trying to post this via my Smugmug site.  I hope it works.  I was indecisive about which angle I like best, so I thought I’d ask you.  Which one do you like best? This is the paper sorter on my desk, for all the stuff I want easy to reach.  Before I weeded it [...]

Friday Fill In #191

#191 And…here we go! 1. You do your thing; I do mine and sometimes _we’ll admire each others work_. 2. _Our new busy schedule_ is what’s been on my mind on and off all day. 3. Remember when _the hardest decision was whether to go to the beach or the pool, just a few weeks [...]

digital scrapbooking organization

Just like any other stuff you have, you’ll be more productive when you organize your photos and digital scrapbook elements.  After reading Ro’s recommendation in Scrapgirl’s 15 Things You NEED to Know to Become a GREAT Digital Scrapbooker when I first started digital scrapping several years ago, I decided to organize by categories. Yes, I [...]

lately

I’ve been working on organizing our home library.   The underlying organization is still there.  I still have the magazine files sorting our children’s books into numerous subjects including the solar system, deserts, mammals, seasons, and construction vehicles.  I’ve had the books organized this way since I began collecting them while teaching over a decade ago.   [...]

Project 365 Day 93

Yes, I am still doing Project 365.  I just haven’t been posting the photos on my blog.  I’ve been keeping up with the weekly scrapbook layouts though. I only took one photo today.  I took it just a few minutes ago, when I realized I hadn’t taken any.  I have begun reorganizing the books in [...]

online organizing

I’m organized online.  I can be as organized as I want to be on my own computer because it is my own space.  The family room and the the kitchen is family space and I have learned to stop being annoyed when I see items out of place.  But I have always craved order.  I [...]
