Getting Organized

Many people find that organization equals success.  To a point, I agree with them.  But....it's sooo hard to stay organized.  When I fall off  "the wagon" disaster ensues.  Just found out that I'm getting a new knee in November, so I'll need to get my "krafty" stuff in line for when I'm off my feet.  Any suggestions in getting organized?  What do you do with all those little articles or pieces of paper that you want to save?

9/11

What were you doing when you heard about the events of 9/11? I was working from home and on the phone with a vendor who was watching everything unfold. I rushed to my tv and and stood dumbfounded and aghast with what I saw.

New Blog

This is the first post of my very first blog.  I'm a "krafty" person by nature and enjoy making many things.  I love to decorate cakes (and sell them), I teach cake decorating classes.  I knit buy not crochet.  I make my own cards and love to scrapbook.  I've even made my own soap!  Things you might find on this blog are pics of my cakes and my student's cakes, scrapbook layouts and card ideas.  I welcome positive comments about what I post.
