M.I.A

I apologize for being a bit MIA this weekend. I was still in need of that break that I mentioned on Wednesday. I've been in a bit of a funk and didn't want to pass it on to you guys.

I felt like I've been letting some things go here and there, so I spent the weekend getting a few things in order. After cleaning out the storage unit at the end of October, we dumped everything in one of the spare rooms and left it. The mess finally got to me, even though it was behind closed doors. I spent an entire day cleaning out closets to make room for everything that we were going to keep, organizing what could go to charity, and trashing what didn't go in the other categories. It's amazing what you will store in a closet! We had saved boxes and packing materials thinking we were going to move. Those were the first to go. I can't believe what a waste of space that was! I was amazed to see that I had 4 boxes labeled "crafts". I am definitely going to list tons of stamps, paper and embellishments for scrapbooking on eBay soon! We still have a long way to go to get everything organized, but it was a great step in the right direction.

I got a bit sidetracked with MyDeco File from Domino mag. I think I spent three hours just looking through other people's files and adding pics. What a fun way to organize your inspiration files! I am definitely hooked. J was even saying he thought it was a neat idea, which doesn't happen often. If you haven't tried it yet, make sure you do so when you have plenty of time!

On Saturday, we went to our cake tasting. J made the mistake of eating the entire piece each time. I knew better! We were actually headed straight to the gym afterward, and he felt miserable after about 30 minutes. I'll post more about cakes later.

Enough blabbing! Stay tuned later in the day for more inspiration...
