Organizing, Other

I spent part of this weekend organizing my piles and Piles and PILES of paper mess.

I'm getting better about getting rid of out-of-date magazines, but I still have all the important pages I rip out of them.  So, I bought one of those accordion-shaped folders and sorted everything by categories.

Now I have things packed away into neat little slots.

 

Now I can deal with all of these scraps at my own leisure.  Oh---and isn't that a pretty 1960s floral bedspread I found at a thrift store?

Rawr!  Here is a silly shot of us at Bass Pro Shop with the big bear.

Miss One really enjoys the play area at our local library.  The tree is her favorite.

I finished her little purple gingham dress.

Here's a close-up of the rosette headband.

I HATE having to sort through all my paper crap. But the alternative is to become a hoarder, no thanks.
I love the pic of y'all with the bear, you look so 1964 Butterick dress pattern illustration!
The gingham dress is adorable. Is that a little row of bling along the bottom?

The dress! The headband! The sparkly trim at the hem! I hope you plan to save a few of these special outfits forever and ever. I wish I had just one of the dresses Mom or Grandma made for me: smocking, puff sleeves, rick rack (and that was from just one dress). Thanks for the pics of Miss One. I was missing her.

My computer is somewhat fixed so now I can catch up...
I knew I should have wrestled you to the ground for that bedspread...
The green dress is AMAZING~~~~
