magazine mess no more.

i've been procrastinating.
for 10 years.
sort of.
i've done half the work over the years.

but now i am done saying "i really should finish that"
because i did...
that is until i receive another magazine in the mail.
so what did i do?
well...
when we moved into this house, whenever i would read a new
magazine, i would rip out the pages of things i liked...or wanted to do.
crafts.
home improvement.
travel.
gardening.
recipes.
organization.
anything that caught my attention.
so i had magazine pages strewn all over the house.
in boxes.
drawers.
cabinets.
baskets.
everywhere!
my intention was to someday put them all in clear sleeves and into binders.
so they would be organized, handy, in the same place.
SO I FINALLY DID IT!!!
...and i am so happy that i did.
i found all sorts of things that i have wanted to do forever, but could never find the page.
now i have no excuse.
whenever i get a new magazine i will just do it then.  pinky swear.
i WILL make myself.
NO MORE LOOSE PAGES EVER.
i bought 250 clear sheets to start and 3 binders.
i filled those up in one night and bought 
another 250 sheets and 3 more binders.
i've filled those up about 1/4 way.
i have all of the pages organized by categories.
i have already whipped up a few things.
...you'll see those on a later post.
i would really like to have that dog...she reminds me of miley.
i think they could be best buds.
but that dog bed...isn't that just adorable?
my guess is my neighbor doodles would need a steamer trunk!

if you need some ideas...come on over.
i think i have plenty of ideas to keep the whole town busy for months.
i'm thinking these cute petite cupcakes are looking just right for valentines day.
along with about 25 other recipes that are in my books.
it's so nice to feel like something is organized in this house.
even if its taken 10 plus years.
