Love your little frogs on the card. Hoping to have frogs in our new pond this year, the frogspawn survived moving and is about ready to hatch but there is a long way to go yet to the froglet stage and then another 3 years before they reach adulthood and return to breed.Pippahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04285958061743923385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9028799397835917329.post-36091407228142126002017-03-17T03:44:16.885-04:002017-03-17T03:44:16.885-04:00Love your fun ST Paddy's Day card, Mary!!!

I too like my stamps sorted by theme.<br />It worked for the wood mounted stamps but not so good for my acrylics. But you will feel so good when it is done.<br /><br />I think swapping the couch with the position of the two chairs is a great idea. I would have the table set up right behind the couch, so that you could work while you watched TV.<br />If both of you watch TV from the chairs, you would then be facing the tV and if DH was watching in a chair, then you would be fairly close still, behind that couch.<br />scrappymo!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17765178247461095797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9028799397835917329.post-73091129410740099062017-03-12T20:05:05.365-04:002017-03-12T20:05:05.365-04:00I love your St Patrick's day card, Mary.

As for org...Love your fresh and sweet froggy card! <br />As for organizing, I am not a great person to give advice. My workspace is usually covered in stuff and I only have a small area to create. Although I cleaned it off two weeks ago after buying a rolling cart at Costco (similar to the one from IKEA that everyone has but a lot less expensive). When I started to fill it up I had more more room on the desk and that prompted a thorough cleaning. I am so excited! Although now I am reluctant to create because I don't want to mess it up again! ;)<br /><br />When I first started thinking about organizing my stamps I also thought I would have a drawer with flowers, one with animals, etc. but instead of buying some custom stamp cabinets I used what I had and put them in there in the most space efficient way (so there might be a flower next to a sentiment next to an animal, etc. In order to find them I stamp them in a binder that has different categories (animals, backgrounds, borders. celestial, Christmas,...) with a little code underneath in which drawer to find it. Might sound weird but it works for me. Mind you, this was when I had mostly wood-mounted stamps. But it works for acrylics too. This way you have room to grow because they are not contained in a certain number of drawers. Hope you know what I mean...<br />Good luck!Susanne Vargashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053173259623129941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9028799397835917329.post-77917968994393297182017-03-12T13:30:01.224-04:002017-03-12T13:30:01.224-04:00Brilliant card Mary, never had the need to make a ...Brilliant card Mary, never had the need to make a St. Pat's day card, I take it you have lots of Irish friends to send them too. <br />What a large craft space, just fab, but the organising looks daunting, good luck with it, Kate xcuilliesockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07368305987539574992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9028799397835917329.post-77122548550917792432017-03-12T09:29:57.974-04:002017-03-12T09:29:57.974-04:00I love your cute frogs for this St Patrick's D...I love your cute frogs for this St Patrick's Day card Mary and such a delightful combination of greens and then the pretty shamrocks to finish.

I'll just wish you and Joe a Happy St. Patty's Day here as I didn't make any this year!! Goodness, you really are in the midst of a massive reorg, aren't you? You know you give me itchy itchy fingers when you show me your room. I wish I lived nearby so I could come and whip your space into shape - I'm sick like that and love doing it! It sounds like you are on the right track; I love my Wally knockoff Alex cabinets and I pretty much org the way you are doing. I have to have my schtuff sorted by genre or type (all trees and leaves together, for instance) for my brain to find them. It's a lot of work sorting them this way with the new clear stamp sets holding a dozen stamps that are unrelated in one package! (How many itty-bitty star images do we need??? lol!) Anyway, high tens, attagirl, and way to go!! Keep on keepin' on!! Hugs, DarnellDarnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723876053535575880noreply@blogger.com
