If you are like me, then sometimes, well, sometimes, I lose my mojo or maybe just my momentum. I have things I want to do but not the energy to do them. Also if my craftroom is getting unorganized I just can’t create. For this challenge, you’ll still get craft related things done, but not projects. For this challenge you need to spend some time on organizing, editing photos, cleaning, tagging digital kits, putting pages in albums, etc. Things that are needed, but not necessarily the fun part. Come tell us what you’ve done. This challenge runs all month.
For anyone.
For the June Team Challenge points you get 1 point for each one hour of work time. The time does not have to be consecutive, just keep track until your total is 60 minutes.

Wooo! I'm glad this challenge is here again this month, I started sorting out some colour boxes of embellishments after mom posted her storage ideas. I am just off to get some more boxes after realising I need more than 5. So I have a couple of points from yesterday already and I will get more, and have boxes of different coloured stuff! Thanks for setting this one LisaDV, I appreciate it! |

Thanks for setting this one LisaDV, I appreciate it! I think most of us like organizing or at least do it almost as much as we scrapbook, some more than we scrapbook. So I plan to put this challenge up every month. Whether we do team challenges or not. |

I hope you have the energy very soon to get to your room. Although, I would consider choosing photos for premade layouts part of organizing!  ...Just sayin'..  |

I actually decided to count going through the box of LOs I received. I sorted for an hour yesterday and got about 1/3 of the way through the box. I will do some more today. It is unreal how many LOs are in this box. Some of them are screaming loudly to have pictures added pronto! |

LisaDV , let’s just say I’m glad that we are continuing this challenge for June.  No points were really gained in this challenge for the month of May. And a few more things were probably lost.

Love this I just put together my new ink tower and loaded it with my ink pads. It has been sitting in a box since Christmas lol. Just had to move a few things on my desk to make room for it and take all the pieces out of plastic and cleaned off my desk of ink pads. The box is now out of my room and I have free space on my desk. It's the CTMH set up so it fits their stamp pads. I am thinking about buying a few washi rings to organize my washi tape to . |

LisaDV, if there was ever a way to loose points for loosing things; I would probably excel in that area.

I’m claiming 2 points for the two hours of sorting, organizing and labeling I did yesterday after buying more of the 4 x 6 and 5 x 7 cases at Michaels. I’m almost embarrassed to admit I wiped them out (of ones that actually snap shut...I’ve had issues in the past so I check before buying).
Last weekend I started my purging by going through every sheet of 12 x 12 paper. I have a 6 inch stack to bring to the weekend crop I’m going to in November. I also went through every.other.darn.item I own for scrapbooking! I have a big Trader Joe’s bag full of stuff for my friends and then other scrappers to go through.
In 13 months I’m going to have my own craft room again so I’m preparing for it now!

KelleeM, how exciting! Is that because your daughter is moving out or are you moving houses?

KelleeM , how exciting! Is that because your daughter is moving out or are you moving houses? We’re not moving! We just bought our townhouse two years ago and it’s the first home I’ve owned. We had just signed the P & S and a few days later dd called and needed to leave where she was. The plan was for her and dgd to live with her dad but my dh asked her to stay with us. He gave her three years and that will be up in July 2019. Dd got a job last fall and knows she has a deadline! So I’ll be taking back the room that was planned to be mine originally. 😊 I have been watching craft room videos on YouTube and will have it all planned out by the time they move. |

Yesterday I went to a crop & spent 2.5 hours viewing & organizing slides that I will have scanned to become digital images. Funny story...both My DD & my DFIL were good amateur photographers. (My Dad was a surveillance photographer during WWII.) My Dad's slides were meticulously catalogued in those wonderful Kodak Carousels complete with a typewritten "key." (yep, I inherited 40 of them! They are in a cabinet-a large cabinet! LOL) My kids do not want to inherit the cabinet...so slowly but surely I will attempt to convert these for them. ( I am skipping most scenery slides & concentrating on those with people in them.So sorry, Mom & Dad...although your trip to the Netherlands was lovely, I am not keeping all those slides or paying to convert.I am working "backwards" Most current first, as that way I will have those that relate to our kids & my DH & my family. ) My DFIL just threw them in a box.My DSIL has done most of these, but I have a full fruit box of both of the dad's random slides. Let's just say, I came across some "interesting" images....

KelleeM, I’m sure you’ll miss her (and dgd) but you will be busy decorating and organizing your craft room so that should help.

patin, that sounds like quite an undertaking. I have only a few of fil’s slides, I should convert them.

i just cannot seem to get into scrappy mode so far this month  but have been happily cleaning and organizing away, so thank goodness for this challenge! i'm claiming another 3 points for doing a lot of rearranging in my space and going through a giant box of studio calico kits from sales and breaking them all up since they don't coordinate anyway. |

I am totally claiming a point for the hour I just spent LOOKING for stuff to pack for our crop. When I found something I wasn't looking for, I returned it to where it belongs. When I found something I WAS looking for, it went into the tub I have here for crop stuff. Also had to empty my rolly tote and put THAT stuff away.

I have managed 3 hours of organising today. I've been filling my colours boxes, wandering backwards and forwards between other things. I went through the 'Elle's and Ormolu' box today and had so many of those really old Elle's Studio cut apart sheets that I had to cut apart and put in the relevant coloured box. I vow to use a couple of those old Ellle's Studio cards somewhere this month.

Last night I earned my second point while getting packed for our crop. I still had stuff in an iris case from Christmas last year. I think I’m ready to go.
