note to self... never a good idea to clean the scrap room...

[party of 3]

I bought a case of the Target document boxes, so I'm guessing...24?

What are target boxes???

 

[jacksmomma]

I'm sure you could find a local girl scout troop who would be happy to take them off your hands!

Great idea! I never thought about that. I am also going to research retirement communities/homes in the area.

I don't even get to keep the room when it's done.... sigh. would anyone like to take a guess at how many target document boxes I seem to own.... it's scary. oh and mini albums.... good grief! won't even touch rubber stamps.

50
25
100's

They are plastic document boxes (they were sold in the $ spot). I'll show you one next time I see you

now buffy, I do NOT have hundreds of document boxes... the kindergarten teacher at dd's old school said she would take anything (at which point I started laughing and called her assistant who I am good friends with and said, "does she know what she's getting into?") I want to give her so y'all are off the hook (well except buffy ) on the plus side, I did get to look at all my $ stamps from studio g and all my prima flowers and admire them all.
back to the room... almost done... (which is a miracle considering I hate to clean...and usually it takes weeks...)

no Maggie, read in order!

50 document holders
25 mini albums
100's of dollar stamps!!!

Once you finish that room, you get to start on DH's gym. That should be fun!

oh well that makes much more sense.. and sadly that's probably accurate... although I think I have less than 50 boxes...

Now Maggie.. you have to count the boxes inside of the boxes!! 4 boxes together don't count as just 1.. that's fuzzy math, I mean "scrapbookers math"!!!

You guys are cracking me up...

 

[nicurn]

it was going so well until dd informed me that really she needed the ENTIRE room for dance and could I please move the nicely arranged shelves off the wall and upstairs... that would be a no by the way... then dh wants to know if I am really going to leave the other nicely arranged shelves along the window "squishing" the curtain... that would be a yeah... so now everyone is pretty damn cranky... so I think to myself that I can move the nicely arranged shelves from one wall to the other and get rid of the ugly shelves... all my paper is now in about 20 club scrap pizza boxes, I'll probably never see it again... but the pizza boxes stack so nicely in the random odd nook that nothing else fits in... really can't complain about that I suppose. lugged a bunch of stuff upstairs to sort out next week... sadly there is STILL a bunch of random stuff in the middle of the hallway... I must say it's MUCH easier to throw stuff out the later at night it gets...

Maggie!!!

 

[MagicMomentsMom]

Nicurn, please put me on your goodie list. I see the shamrock in your siggie...and you know my little man has a kilt...any Irish stuff pass my way babe!

I need to clean out my sticker bin. I wish I could find someone to pass all the "more basic" stickers to, since there are a few that I know I will not use.

I give mine to my daughters preschool and they loooooove to get them

I read all the way through the organizing thread yesterday, and now this, and one thing occurs to me - It would be a LOT easier to clean and get organized IF we didn't have all these family members and their stuff and their heirlooms and their 'needs' to contend with!!!

 

[lynner]

I totally agree, Linda. It would be great if I wasn't storing all of my DSs and DDs miscellaneous stuff while they are out trying to make their way in the world. When am I ever going to get rid of that giant box of Legos?? Oh well.
