August has been a tough month here in south Louisiana. We had a police shooting that shocked and wrecked havoc. And now the devastating floods, being called the Flood of 2016. Keep praying for all our law enforcement and the people affected by these catastrophic floods. We will get through this. Stand strong Louisiana!
     On a lighter note I have been organizing, selling retired items and even tossing old catalogs. Boy it’s hard for me to let go! But the most exciting thing is that I have gone from Stampin’ Up!s color collections to what I call “the RGB method”! I am stubborn and I do not take change well, but this is wonderful!!! Now I am wondering why on earth I didn’t do this years ago.
     I bought my Combo Holder from Stamp n Storage. It holds my all of my ink pads, markers and ink refills. It is awesome! Everything is right at my fingertips! And it’s in RBG order. Now when I am looking for a blue–all the blues are together.

     I also organized all my card stock and scrapes. Each folder and bag is numbered making it easier to put back in the right place in my file cabinet.

Being organized is the key to effortless creativity! And having things visible makes use of all those items you know you have but have to hunt for when you want to use them. I even found things I had forgotten I had bought! 
     Now, I am challenging you to spend some time weeding out and getting organized! It is truly liberating!
Happy stampin’,
