Organization update...

Okay, so I've been able to get a lot accomplished on the organizing of it all. I have gone through all the scrapbook supplies and I have them organized, now I just have to find a desk and bookcase that Steve and I agree on. I've set up our card table, in the meantime, to be my desk. And it actually is making it so much easier to scrapbook! Here's some of the proof:

(don't know why it downloaded like this)

I did all of these in one night. Steve watched a movie, and Emily & I scrapbooked together. It worked so great! When I went through my scrapbooking stuff, I sat aside things I didn't think I would use and some of the pictures I didn't really want to scrap (some that were out of focus or I had doubles of). And I put together a basket for Emily, that way while I'm scrapping, she can scrap too.

This is scrapbooking area (of course not complete) as of right now:

It's still a little cluttered for my liking, but hopefully once I find a desk and bookcase, it'll look better.

This is what I accomplished in the Bonus Room closet:

Before I did this, our movies were a little bit of everywhere. Some downstairs, some in the closet, some sitting out. So, I have sorted between VHS, DVD and video games. And yes, they are all alphabetized.

And finally, this is the last thing I want to accomplish:

These are all of bills and things, in the bottom of the Bonus Room closet. I'm going to try to find a CHEAP bookcase and organize all of this. And then I should be done for a while! The flood of '09 has really made me realize how quickly all of this we think is so important can be taken away. I definitely feel very blessed with all that Steve and I have. Although, if all the "stuff" was taken away, I still know my God would provide for my needs!

Here's some websites that I check out every once in a while for organization ideas:
