Looking for Quotes

For my other blog I have several quotes that I like but I also wanted to have some for this blog too. But they needed to be craft related. After some searching I found the one I added above. I had to laugh when I came across that one. It reminded me of the craziness of having too many 7" hunter green zippers. Of course that was the result of being disorganized and not being able to find the first and then second zippers I had bought. But because I was disorganized I got to experience the joy of discovery. Although I don't know if I was feeling joy, more like oh brother, because I misplaced the zipper twice and I to buy a third one. Darn!

On the other hand, there is joy in finding something you haven't been able to find for awhile. "Oh there is that thingamajig I have been looking for!" Do you ever have that kind of experience? I am sure everyone has at least once in their life, unless a person is so organized they never misplace a single thing. That I would like to see.

Writing this post reminds me of the day I decided to organize my sewing stuff. I had those plastic storage drawers made by either Rubbermaid or Sterlite. I don't remember who made the ones I have. Anyway, these drawers, I have 8, were stacked in the closet in the sewing/computer room and I was not really taking advantage of the storage space. So I spent a Saturday morning organizing my sewing and craft supplies and trying to make heads and tails out of what I had and the best way to sort and organize them so I can find what I need when I need it. And yes, I put all the zippers I have together in one place and I was surprised at how many I actually have now. For future projects I better check my supply before I buy a zipper. I made labels with a labeler for the drawers which really helps in locating a needed item. And now that leads me to another favorite product that I have and use now and then.

I also used the labeler to label the drawers where I keep my scrapbook papers allowing me to find the colors I want to use easily. Plus the drawers keep the papers neat and wrinkle free.

Last Christmas, or maybe it was my birthday(it is in December so it is easy to forget what I got for what) my husband gave me a Scrapbook Labeler by Brother. He had gotten it at Office Depot after I spotted it and told him I wanted that. I searched the Brother website as well as the Office Depot website and I can not find it anywhere. I wanted to include a link for it. Oh darn. I get the feeling another thing I really like has disappeared. That happens to me a lot. Favorite food items, favorite fitting bra, favorite fitting underwear, favorite salad at Applebee's, and a favorite flavor at Baskin Robbins. Why my favorite things disappear I don't know!! Anyway included in this blog is a picture of my Scrapbook Labeler. You will find it in the column on the right in my favorite products box.
