A Little Organizing

organizing.. I love it..

So I am always looking for new ways to organize my scrap space. My first objective was to get my paper box off the floor, it was getting to hard to dust the floor and dust was piling up behind it and in front of my albums. Also I wanted to get my big plastic boxes off my table for a little

more space. It is so nice now, I just roll it out of the way or to where ever I need it to go.

My messy space now.

I also love that it is metal so I can hang things off it for even more organization.

Hanging over my kitchen window.

I love that gingerbread house. I got it at Hallmark and the gumdrops on top light up and it plays the song 'Dance of the Sugar Plum fairy' when you push the doorbell. (You can see it in action on the hallmark site.)Wyatt's tree he picked out. It is up on his dresser.Bits and piece around my kitchen. More bits and pieces around the living room. All my snowman in a row on my laundry room window.
