~ good grief ~

So, I finally have my car back & I finally have my computer back.

Wow, I never knew just how much I relied on those two things alone to make my life easier!

Well, they're back and here I am trying to figure out how I'm going to do all of things I need to do in 2 days. I'll let you know how it goes. :)

~ Surfin' Saturday ~

You need to check out these 2 wonderful women & their fabulous website & blogs:

Kerri Malloy & Linda Fennell own & operate Rhubarb Roots Scrapbooking & Rhubarb Roots Blog
in Altona, MB. & now they've expanded to Rhubarb Roots Photography.

I don't know how they do it, but keep up the wonderful inspiration & great work ladies!

Hi again,
I was organizing my scrap space last night and I took a break to read some blogs for today... surfin' saturday.

I started at Sisterhood of Scrap & this week's "sister" Shannon Wyman recommended this blog: Notes From Your Calm & Collected Organizer. What a great read & what great organizational ideas. It's right up my ally this weekend! {I bought my cubbies (at superstore for $20) as soon as I started to overflow my rubbermaid containers & I've loved them since!}

Here's a look at my studio space...

~ my laptop & photo printer ~

~ my studio table & scrap space ~

{yes, there are times I have the table full of ideas for 1 layout!}

~ my rubbermaid draws full of essentials: adhesives, scissors, markers on top; chipboard & plastic pieces next; flowers, tins & punches in the 3rd drawer; and bags & extra class supplies in the bottom drawer ~

~ my scrappn' supplies organized in metal cubbies ~

{I also use pencil boxes, baby wipes containers & rubbermaid totes & mini drawers within the cubbies to hide sharp & little items from lulu - it also hides the little clutter}

~ my paper, stickers, rub-ons, scraps & specialtiies are stored vertically for easy acess & more storage space in my cubbies ~

Now that my space is organized {till I go nutty again}, I'm going to add this blog {Notes from your Calm & Collected Organizer} to my list, you should too!

Happy Surfin',
Cindy

sorry this is a day late... it was crazy here yesterday!

Surfin' Saturday is all about sharing what I have found on the web. Most sites & informaiton will be scrapbooking realated while others, not so much.

I've been really interested in sketches lately {as my little one sometimes leaves me with little or no decent time to scrapbook, sketches have come in really handy}, and here are few sites I've travelled to & enjoy!

• 52 weeks...52 Sketches
• Sketches-R-Us
• Sketches! {by tamara}
• Sketch Satuday @ Sisterhood of Scrap

Take some time to visit these fabulous ladies & try out their sketches. I hope you find them as inspiring as I do!

See you later,

Cindy
