Welcome to the back to the 2021 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 where there 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!
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 event )
• 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!)
20 points per hour for both bonus challenges.
The BONUS CHALLENGE for the month is to organize your alphas. For me this includes Thickers, Stickers (yes I still have a binder full), dies for alphas, and fonts that I’ve purchased, are on my Scan-n-Cut, or my computer that work will for e-die cut titles. My goal is to scan in my stamps that are alphas and have a mini-notebook ready, like the two shown for my other fonts. I also have a few alphas in my embellishment box that I should remember to use, thus they need to be included in some way in my cataloging!

The NSBR BONUS CHALLENGE for the month is to go through all your plastic/glass food storage containers. Make sure that everything has a lid, is in good condition, and that you can remember using it in the last year. I actually switched over to mostly glass about 2 years ago for things that are re-heated, but still have the plastic version as well. Have fun and earn a few points!
