I DID IT! I DID IT! I DID IT!





Oh, what a relief it is!!!
The dining room table is completely clean. We ate dinner there tonight. As you can see, here is a series of pictures from the progression of the cleaning adventure. I admit the impetus was the arrival of my parents. My mom is sitting behind me as I type this and her comments have included "A clean table is a good thing." and "I suppose you are going to blame me for this."
Well, yes, but only in a good way.
I have pretty much sorted and containerized everything. I still have a long ways to go, but am now more determined to get that studio in the basement set up. I didn't find too much that I'd completely forgotten I had, but I probably have enough basic supplies to carry me through a couple of long winded stamping sessions.
I'm pooped, so it's bed time now - my dad is sleeping on the couch behind me and my daughter is waiting for me to get off the computer and turn off the lights so she can go to sleep. She's been kicked out of her room by the grandparents.

Well done! Looks nice now. I am constanly organizing and cleaning up because I keep making a mess off stuff. I am such a disorganized person but trying to reform myself. A little chaos is fun though. And I do find stuff I had forgotten..always. But that might just be having a hard time rembering things. Haha.

Great job. I always find I make a big mess when I stamp. I have lots of things that I "find." (Lots of things I've forgotten!) I am so sad that I couldn't come last weekend. I sure would have if I hadn't had company. Your mom said it was the best stamp camp yet! And I missed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Rats.

Way to go! Want to come and do mine now? (lol). Actually, I recently got an Alex cabinet at IKEA, and I have to say, it is the best organizational purchase for my stamp stuff that I've made so far. I may even be brave enough to post a pic myself soon.
