Cleaning Day

Yeah, I'm off today...but boo, I've got to clean my house. Of course, after my housework is done, I get to play in my scrap room, which is extremely messy right now, so maybe instead of playing, I should attempt to get it cleaned up too!! Who am I kidding? My room is always a mess but in a few weeks, it will be all neat and organized again...why? because for my birthday, I've asked my handy DH to re-do the room for me-----new paint, different shelving options, and installing all my cubes from Target & Michael's that have been stored under the guest bed for months. I'm hoping this will make me stay organized, neater, and use up my huge stash of paper that I have collected over the past five years of scrapping--right!!?? I have to stop collecting stuff it's getting really ridiculous, but as I've heard somewhere, part of this hobby is the obsession of amassing stuff like paper and embellishments and that's what I've done for sure!! I hate to think of all the hard earned cash that I have put into all this stuff---I tracked it one year and was totally shocked at the amount I had spent!! Think in the thousands (yikes!!). Anyway, the plan is to get it all organized, cleaned up, and ready to use up!! This could take the next few months to accomplish..just kidding, I couldn't stand not being able to do my scrapping work for longer than a couple of weeks at the most...not to mention, I have to do class samples for the store ...and finish working on my Christmas cards. Just too much to do in the next month, and too little time to do it in. That's my life though...a girl can dream at least. Off to clean now.
