Welcome to the 2022 Organized 2PeasRefugees scrap challenge. It does not matter where you are in your journey of organizing you are welcome to join us and do a little or do a lot! Find a system that works for you and your space. How do you scrap and shop your supplies? Is your space tiny or a whole room? Do you live with special considerations such as flooding or dust? There is not one way that is better than another, just what is best for your style and needs! Do you need to see your stash to use it? Or does it need to be protected from little hands, paws, or dust?
This challenge is to encourage you to work towards a more organized crafting life, so that you can find what you purchased when you want to use it! My best rule of thumb is that it should not take more than three moves to get to what you want to use on your project.
If you are on a team for the team challenges you can claim 10 points for each hour spent. The time does not need to be consecutive. Bonus of 1 point for each before and after photo. The following tasks will count towards the crafting organization:
• Cleaning up after your latest crafting session (ie desk before, desk after)
• Scrubbing or vacuuming the floor in your space. Dusting your space (I live in the desert next to a dirt road and own four German Shepherds, so this is a regular task)
• Organizing a supply or completely re-doing your entire space.
• Sorting, editing, backing up, or ordering photos.
• Setting up page kits for photos or organizing the ones that you get as a monthly subscription with photos.
• Essentially anything that is related to crafting that needs to be done to “spark joy”! (I’m not necessary a huge Marie Kondo fan . . . but she does have some good ideas!)
Scrapbook related Bonus: Organize those stencils! From my first years as a scrapbooker most of the stencils were 8.5" x 11". Those old school stencils are stored in a simple three ring binder. Now we have so many sizes. I was inspired to organize stencils by this storage system at Taylored Expressions, but not sure I have room for each size I now own. Here is another idea, not necessary a fan but might work for some of you, foam core board stencil storage. Of course, Totally Tiffany has ideas as well as products to sell. Personally, I think I will do something with binder rings, or three ring binders that will hold up to 12" x 12" size stencils. Jury is still out on which system I will go towards, as I am a DYIer or reuse and recycle kind of gal.
Non-Scrapbook related Bonus, 20 points for each hour! Well ladies . . . tax season will soon be upon us, at least the US Peas, not sure about how other countries go about filing federal and in our case state taxes. As to be ready, the NSBR bonus is to organize your paperwork to complete you taxes so you can get the (hopefully) refund on its way! This counts for personal and family-owned small business taxes. Not for the accountants, bookkeepers or others who do taxes to pay the bills!
Not sure if I need to but grammadee , here is your tag!
