Great American Scrapbook Show - Arlington, TX
The first weekend of June is The Great American Scrapbook Show in Arlington, Texas. If you're planning on attending the show please stop by our booth and say "Howdy"! We love to put faces with names. I have to confess I love going to this show for a couple of reasons, not the least of which is that it is usually WARM!!! The Pacific Northwest is a beautiful place to live, but I never quite thaw out.

Magnetic Cloth
Scissors
A Ruler
A piece of chalk or other marking devise
Your Spellbinders or other brand of dies

Yes, you can store your cardmaking supplies in your ScrapRack
Hi Crafters -
I've been asked on a number of occasions about storing card making supplies in The ScrapRack. I know the pockets aren't a perfect fit for all of the card sizes, but the Fabulous Four Storage Page will fit most of them. Here are a couple of examples.
You can also store your other card making supplies in you ScrapRack. You may want to start a totally separate section for card making supplies and maybe a section for completed cards too!

Paper Storage and Organization
Howdy Crafters -
This week's Get Organized Challenge Webinar was Paper Storage and organization. Teaching the webinar inspired me to write a brief article, record a short "how-to" video and to put the Paper Storage Combo Kit on SALE (you'll save 20% - that's $15.00) on the website. If you're struggling with Paper Storage, I hope you'll take a few minutes to read the article or watch the video. Click here to read or watch now.
I also posted some new pictures of "how to decorate" your Paper Storage boxes.
If you've already decorated your boxes I'd love to see pictures of what you've done and share your ideas with other scrappers. You can email them to us at CustomerService@TheScrapRack.com .
See more ideas for decorating your boxes - click here.
Thanks,
Tiffany

The St. Louis Creating Keepsakes Convention and one really great Lipstick
Hi Ladies -
We are at the ST. Louis Creating Keepsakes Convention today. If you're in the area come by and say "HOWDY". Also, I wanted share with you one thing that is totally unrelated to crafting.
I have discovered the WORLD'S GREATED LIPSTICK!!!
I've been a diehard Lancome girl most of my life. When I saw the advertisement for the new Maybelline 24 hour Super Stay Lipstick I wrote if off as another gimick, but I kept thinking about it, and thinking about it, and finally I went to Target and bought one. Guess what it REALLY WORKS! I put on lipstick, eat, drink, talk.....everything all day, and when I get home the lipstick is STILL on my lips!! It's amazing. What do I have to say about that , "Bye, Bye $22 Lancome, Hello $8 Maybelline."

Applying the Principles
Hi Ladies -
I know many of you were participants in our recent Get Organized Challenge. Based on the emails and Facebook responses I've been getting/reading, I would have to say the Challenge was very successful. I have also heard from several participants about how the principles of the webinar have flowed over into other parts of their lives.
If you're feeling overwhelmed by some other organization task, be it a drawer, a closet, or an entire room, try applying the principles we learned in the Challenge to the task at hand. Here's a great email from one of the Challenge participants:
Tiffany,
I just applied the principle of small areas at a time--sometimes just one drawer or shelf. Finish that one and move on to the next. I had a box handy for items that were misplaced and needed to go elsewhere, another for box for charity, and of course, the garbage can. Liberal use of the latter I might add. It is quite amazing how "stuff" builds up and accumulates when you're not looking.
One of the major things I did, and am so glad I finally did it, was to rearrange the upstairs laundry area. There are two shelves, one up high and one lower (note: I am only 5' 1"). I had always had the cleaning supplies on the high shelf and extra toiletries down low. Duh! I need to clean more often than I need a new bottle of baby powder. Got out the stepstool, took everything off both shelves, and moved the cleaning supplies down and the toiletries up. So much handier.
Of course, my cats have been very useful in the cleaning process, checking out every open drawer and cupboard. They "snoopervise" well, though don't help in the cleaning.
My husband is dutifully going through his To-Do list for today and hopefully will attack his closet soon. Not holding my breath though, as he's more likely to decide a nap is more necessary.
Take care, Jeanne
If you've used the information from the webinar series to help you with organization in other parts of your home/life. Please share them with me so I can forward them on to others.
Our next Craft Organization Challenge starts on Tuesday, April 12th. Here's a link to the details about the series. - Get Organized Challenge.
Happy (and well organized) Crafting,
Tiffany

Webinar #4 Photo Storage and Organization was posted today.
Hi -
I'm so sorry for the delay in getting Webinar #4 - A Plethora of Pictures posted to the website. It is finally up today with decent sound quality. I truly appreciate your patience. Click Here to get to the Webinar Challenge Page on our site.
Many of you asked about the storage boxes I use for photos. I use a 16qt Sterlite box. It is a little larger than your average photo storage box which allows me to use the 8.5x11 sheets of paper to separate my photo groups. They really work well. I'm sure I bought them at Target, but the Sterlite brand is very common so you should be able to find them anywhere.
Here's the image from the Photo Organization Webinar presentation.
