My happy place
It is my playroom/sewing room/art studio. Lots of times it is creating things that makes me happy but I am seriously wondering if organizing is my real happy place. :(
I needed to find a couple of sheets of coloured paper. I have coloured card stock, patterned scrapbook paper, gelli plate mono prints, old book pages, music sheets, napkins, etc. OYE! I am in serious trouble. I started to sort into colours. Just like fabric, some doesn't slot into categories easily. Then I began to dream about a storage rack/system. Ahem! I don't have a week nor do I have extra funds at the moment. I have a couple of hours and that's iffy. So I got creative. I did a quick shuffle with the bead paraphernalia and repositioned the shelf to hold all those manila folders I had saved. I designated similar pages into folders and I just may not even need to buy anything! Phew!
The space isn't completed as the tub of mono prints is still in its tub but I had to switch happy places. lol
I also have to deal with all the small stuff. But I found card stock that I just knew I hadn't used up. Yay! I also have emptied 2 shallow drawers that I have big plans for. Again, I need to hold that happy thought and get back to the project at hand.
First set of pages is coming together. hmmm, hum, hum. Nothing glued but a good start.
I thought I was humming along until I put the flap down. :(
These flaps are complicating things, alright! ;)
hmm, this might even work out better. I will loose the yellow bow and...
put a nice one on the flap! I can move the centre sentiment to the side and show case the bling. :)
I have three more sets of pages and only one more flap. hmmmmmmmm I hope I can stay happy!

Looks like a happy place to me...being in your room of creative joy. Sorting your papers was a great idea. Very smart to place the pages without gluing down to see how they worked...flap wise for certain. All looks good to me. Happy Place Everyday Dear...
