Scraproom organization and New Year’s Eve

I’ve decided it’s just TIME to get it to where I can work in here, and I’ve looked at a lot of scraprooms (thanks Just Brandie!) and given it a lot of thought as to what works, and doesn’t work in here.  I’m going to have to begin from the ground up, since just about every bit of space that could be covered, is covered.  Knowing where to begin is kind of hard though.  I’ve decided my table doesn’t work… it gets very painful to sit there for long periods of time.  I have a 4 foot table that will be perfect, I just need to clear it up, and put it next to me here, so I can work on scrapbooks at the same time as the computer… that will make it MUCH easier, I believe, to get things done.  I’ve taken pictures, which I will upload later, as right now, the baby is down, and I DO want to get some work done in here. 

OMG… it’s going to take FOREVER to do what I want in here.  It’s ALL minuiatae.  Sydni took some of my water paints down, and she or Sammi spread them all around, so I had to put them back together so I could put them in the drawer where they belonged…. stuff like that REALLY irks me, because 1) I didn’t make the mess 2) SYDNI should know better than to do that (they were out of Sammi’s reach, she could not get to them at all.) 3) The paints were probably worth about 20-30 dollars.   I can’t replace them.  I’m still mising one.  I have the jar, the little paint pot is missing though.   Arg.

Then there’s just the current setup… it’s hard to move about in here.  My knees are shaking and hurting from getting up on chairs to get stuff out of the way so other stuff could go in it’s place… then I have to deal with the stuff I took down.  Arg.  I don’t have room for all the scraps to go in the file box I have the scraps in, my 12×12 file box is broken…. ARG!!!!  Oh yea, the scrapbook I ruined, the pages are still sitting on the shelf, waiting to be put into a new scrapbook.  It MIGHT be easier if this was all just trash, but it’s not. 

My knees hurt.

Whew… man, I’m tired!  And I haven’t actually been working that long.  It’s just involved a l;ot of lifting and such so far.  Hm… just had another thought.  Myave instead of an L shaped desk setup, maybe a U shaped… with one table on each side of me.  It’s a thought anyway.  I’ll have to see how that would work.  I just need my scraprack closer to me.  So yea, I’ll have to figure that one out.  Okay, back to work now.

The floor is looking cleaner.  Mostly I’ve just moved things around, but I’m working on cleaning up all the hardware, and the trash, too. 

Whoops, did it again.  Here it is 7 p.m.  We are having a night home with the kids minus Sydni who is over at Kristin’s house.  Which is fine.  We just finished a "meal" of bbq chicken strips, shrimp cocktail, "crab" meat in butter, egg rolls, and pizza rolls.  Yum!  It has been fun so far.  We opened some glow sticks, cracked our glow cups (which then leaked on everything… not all of them, but one appears to be slightly broken) and had some sparkling cider.  We will have the rest of the cider at midnight, though Jerry suggested we celebrate an East Coast New Year’s, lol… then go to bed.  Neither of us are sure we can do another 5 hours! 

I’m going to post this, because I fear it will be tomorrow before I will post if I do not!

HAPPY NEW YEAR’S EVERYONE!!!!
