Crop Chatter!

I just thought we should have a place where we can all drop in and chat about our progress on the challenges, and just generally talk s**t!

Well, i just want to say that i need a cleaning fairy to come and tidy my desk between scrapping projects!! I tidy it up, the i scrap 1 layout, that leads into 2 layouts, then 3, and then i am scrapping in a little 12 x 12 hole with a big jumbled pile of tools and scraps all around me!! It really drives me nuts, but i can't seem to change my ways!! I just get too caught up in the layouts!! Any suggestions?? I really need to clea it now, so i can start the cc challenges!!

LOL - no advice here! I have enough trouble keeping MY stuff orgainized.

Vick, you just need to tell yourself that no more scrapping until it is clean! Cleaning can either be done the hard way (putting everything away where it belongs) or the easy way (sweep everything off the desk into a big box)...it is entirely up to you!

I personally, cannot scrap unless I begin with a clean work space, so I always put everything back where it belongs between layouts (which is easy when everything has a home.) The only thing I have been lazy on lately, is not filing my pp scraps - they have been stashed in an empty pizza box to be sorted and filed later!

I like the big box idea!! It would have to be BIG tho!! I hate putting everything away as i have a very sall storage space and everything is stacked behind other stuff, which means i always have to pull everything out to use it then do the same to put it all back!! As for sorting scrap, WHY?? Mine all just go in together, cos i'm always rotating it all ad pulling little bits and pieces out to use!! i hate cutting into new paper, so i'm always using the scraps!!

I sort all my scraps in an accordian file by colour. That way, when I need a little bit of something, I go straight to the colour and find something easily. (Just saves me time and keeps it all neat.) I AM a Virgo, remember?

I'm an aries!! Ram into things head first, like a bull at a gate!!

I know!!! (That explains it!)

Hey girls any chance you can drop witah you are doing and come here to help me clean up for tonight? I'm having my scrapping girls come, but we are also having a birthday cake!! Any takers???????
xoxo

I'll come for the cake, but i'm not very good at the cleaning up part!!

I am a complete neat freak! Everything has it's place, labels to the front etc etc etc. I can't stand clutter. I'm like Sue, I can't scrap until my workspace is clear - I clean up after every session. I store my pp scraps by colour too! So much faster and very handy!

I am so tired I couldn't care less! LOL No that isn't true! It is just okay and the children have helped too.

Years ago I used to be suchhh a neat freak!! even to the point of being anal about it...but since the kids came along i've learnt to just let it slide, to a certain extent lol and i'm always on clynt's back about being anal with the cleaning, it's like i've come full circle

The cake part sounds great to me!! I'm a messy scrapper, have crap all over my desk.

Glad I'm not the only the only one Chantal!
And Kathie, am I too late for cake??? YUMMM!!!

btw everyone - challenge 2 is up!

great challenge!!!

Thanks Terri! I look forward to seeing everyone's interpretations of this one!

I had a pretty productive evening last night (for a change...LOL), managed to get my vintage card made for the opening night challenge and also a LO for the monthly challenges. Now to decide what's next on the agenda...
What is everyone else working on???

I am just about to fiish my last monthly challenge, then i am onto the cc ones, and i think i might start with ch 2 cos i LOVE it, although ch 1 is way up there in the LOVE stakes as well!! Ohhh, now i can't decide!! I'll have to do them both at once!!

You need to clean that desk first missy!!!

Yes MUM!!! I'll get onto that first!! (Unless of course mojo hits first, then i'll just clear a place on the diing table big eough to fit and scrap there!! )

You need to take a before and after pic!
I scrapped on the kitchen table last night too, just so I could watch the Simpsons movie..

We have that movie o DVD, so i didn't bother!! I did have some Gilmore Girl DVD's that i borrowed from my sis playing tho!!

Was I supposed to do a before and after photo?!? I'm sorry but I didn't read that anywhere, but I must of missed it somewhere 'cause everyone's put up one. D'oh! Believe me, my stuff was white!

Chantal, i forgot to do a before photo as well!!
