An idea was shared on Ames Area Cropper that I saw and said "Oh baby...that is an awesome idea and one that I am totally going to steal!" I own the original Clip It Up, I bought it for myself at the Midwest Scrapbook Convention last fall, but I quickly filled it up. Now I have four feet more hanging space that only cost my $3.00 for the rod and $4.99 for the bag of clips. I could make my own clips, but I'm okay with buying them.
I also got busy and separated out ALL of my alphas. My floor was a sea of ABC's Saturday. When we were at IKEA a couple of weekends ago, I picked up three of the FIRA 9-drawer wooden units to use to store my alphabets in. I've not got everything separated by letter and one drawer houses all the numbers.
I finally got around to spray painting a wrought iron basket that I bought at Hobby Lobby for 50% off! I'm hoping to have it hold stamps that I want to use on my pages and projects and if I can see them, I'll be more apt to use them. Besides I think it looks cool in my room and it makes me smile.
I think I'm finally squared away in my craft room so that I can finish the mini album of Newport, Rhode Island I was working on at the winter retreat and get back started on some pages. I have lots of idea swimming around in my head right now but I don't have the time to devote to those ideas.
I'm going to challenge myself this week, to spend one hour in my scraproom every evening just to see how much I can accomplish. I'll keep you posted.

Good for you! Love your clip-it hanger ;)
Hi, Kristina! What a fabulous idea on using a rod and clips to hang stuff. I'm brainstorming ways to organize my SB room right now (it seems I'm always thinking about that!) Do you like your Clip-It thing? I think it's a great idea but I'm not sure if I'd like it sitting on my desk - it's the whole visual clutter thing.
How's the family? How's scrappin'? What retreat did you just go to?
Hi Jennifer! Is this Jennifer Wadsworth or Jennifer Kinney?.....I have too many Jennifers in my life.
Things are good with the family. Connor is in his last year of elementary school and is growing so tall.
I've been scrapping away. I thought about taking a break from it to get caught up on my reading, but as soon as I made the decision to do that, my creative mojo kicked in, so I'm going with the flow.
The first weekend in February is a Winter Retreat that some gals from Boone host. I know them through the Ames Area Cropper group. This is the 4th year I've gone. There is only about 20 of us, but it's alot of fun and the gals do an awesome job of organizing it.
How are things with you?
Your room ROCKS! Love the changes...I have a very similar basket in our kitchen with fruit in it:) Maybe I'll have to go pick up another...
Guess I should have used my last name. It was me, Jennifer Kinney. :)
