The Close To My Heart 2014-2015 Annual Inspirations is live! And my Washi Obsession!

Happy new catalog day! The Close to My Heart catalog is now an annual catalog which means that it is bigger and full of wonderful things to peruse. Check it out online here.

You may have noticed that I took a bit of a break from posting here for awhile. I had an issue with my phone which prevented me from using the "easy way" to upload photos and that just seemed to slow me down too much to post.  I've also been making a big push to declutter and get organized. It's just long overdue! I'm trying to go drawer by drawer. There are some areas that have taken days and some that are quick and relatively painless. I still have more drawers and nooks and crannies to go through!

Another thing I've been working on is finding a planner system that works for me. After trying and looking at systems I can purchase, I'm going to try out one that I will just print. But being a scrapbooker, I, of course, have to make it visually appealing and fun! I found a free colorful printable planner here: http://www.thehandmadehome.net/2014/06/free-planner-and-calendar-more-2015/

But to make it even more fun, I'm using Washi tape to highlight important dates. Now, I can hear you tsk, tsk, tsking at me, saying it's just an excuse to buy more Washi tape but I say, "No, no, I had already bought the tape!" Now I'm using them! Look, doesn't it grab your attention?
Well, okay, I did buy some new ones too and I am eagerly awaiting my NEW rolls of Washi tape from the NEW catalog because, after all, I need just a few more colors so I can accurately assign one color to things like appointments, holidays, events, practices, work, things associated with a certain member of the family, birthdays, etc. Right? Humor me.

Here's another cool new product which will enable me in my Washi tape obsession.
