OK, so a whole year and 3/4 goes by before my next post. Just read my first one. I'm still woefully behind in everything. So much for accountability. However... I did participate in the Scrap Rack Challenge and put all my scrapbooking supplies in the rack by 1) Alphabet/Journaling, 2) Calendar, 3) Color and 4) Subject.  

I lost 20 1bs about a year ago and holding.

I just this morning completed my Cricut cartridge storage system using the Stack n Snap (??) Ribbon holders and plastic mesh dividers.

I have about 40 file boxes full of projects to get done before the first of the year, and this is after tossing some of the stuff. Wish me luck!

Et tu, Brutus?

Yes, I've joined the blogging community. Not so much to let you know what I am up to (who really cares?), but more for me to be accountable.

So far in 2011, I have broken every resolution I made: diet, exercise, housework, crafts & projects, and budget! Ugh!

My new year is starting today.  Lose pounds by October by modifying my diet and getting exercise. Need to do at least 2 hours of housework a day, not counting meals and laundry. Tackle my 40+ boxes of UFO's (UnFinished Objects). Use what I have and don't buy any more crap (uh, craft) stuff. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SEW EXPO IN MARCH, since I skipped the Creating Keepsakes Scrapbook Convention and the Sewing  Fair, both last November.

With that said, I've got a new Pandigital E-reader from my husband for Christmas. After some Googling, I discovered it can be hacked to a I-Pad-type device! It's been hacked and apps have been found for a diet and exercise tracker, an expense tracker, an inventory tracker, grocery shopping list and some craft apps.

My Palm Z22 organizer needs to be updated with my housework schedule and I need to figure out how to create my inventory lists in Excel and import them into my "Lie-Pad".

I've blessed my home this morning (see FlyLady.net) but that only took 30 minutes, so another hour and a half to vacumn, dishes from last night, mop kitchen and put away the junk on my table.

Then, on to scrapbooking Kevin's baseball from 2000-2010 because it's only a month until the 2011 season! That will take care of 2 boxes!

Clutter, be gone!
