Sultanas Layout – a sketch challenge
I haven’t been doing much scrapbooking lately. It seems every time I go into my craft space I spend more time organising my stuff than actually doing anything. Apparently this means I have too much stuff. Who’d have thought?! Every second Friday is scrapbooking night at our local scrapbooking...
P365 – Day 353 – posting
Remember how I said that normally we have most of our Xmas wrapping, posting and cards done by now and that, for some reason, Xmas has crept up on us this year and found us somewhat disorganised? I wonder where we’d be without Express Post? All of the interstate...
P365 – Day 349 – silly season
According to Juniordwarf’s count-down tree calendar there are 10 days till Xmas. Normally by this time of the year we’ve finished all our shopping, sent our Xmas cards, and mailed our gifts to our interstate relatives. As of today we haven’t written in any Xmas cards or even wrapped...
P365 – Day 303 – spice jars
I’ve been gradually buying new jars to store the random packets of spices and spice mixes that are lying round in what might loosely be described as our spice cupboard. I’ve also been replacing some of the old jars (jam jars, tomato paste jars, coffee jars) with the new...
P365 – Day 297 – stationery stash
Waiting for me at the Post Office this morning was my latest stationery order from the lovely people at NoteMaker. My diaries for 2012 and a mini Delfonics pen. I am totally in love with these pens. I want more! I have a vague plan for keeping myself more...
P365 – Day 278 – sticky notes
Last week I mentioned that my counsellor suggested for me to make a to-do list, but to only put three things on the list. The idea behind that was to put three things that I wanted or needed to do that day, and that without overwhelming myself with a...
P365 – Day 268 – let’s talk about housework
I loathe and detest housework with every bone in my body really don’t much like housework. I’m not very good at keeping things tidy. The concept of ‘a place for everything and everything in its place’, while being the cornerstone of every decluttering/home organisation book I’ve never read, is...
P365 – Day 146 let me diarise that
Most of the things I’ve read about time management and organising say that having a diary is essential to getting your life under control. I have one. I wrote in it once, on 6 January. The books also say that you have to actually use the diary. That means...
