This is cross posted from the Challenge board, feel free to join in if you are playing along with challenges or not!
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: You will earn 20 points for each hour spent organizing stamping sentiments in a way that works for you. Personally I spent 20 minutes looking for an anniversary stamp . . . sooooooo, now I have to decided it I am going to break up sets, OR photo copy, OR make a spread sheet? We will see as I process what I own. Non Scrapbook related Bonus, 20 point for each hour! As promised in December, many of us have Christmas or holiday decorations up. As you put things away consider what you can donate or discard. Good luck! I know I have several large totes to consider in my now very cold garage! |

Well, I don't have a space, but two different areas (kitchen and living room). What I really need to work on is photos! I plan on ordering photos every other Friday from Amazon until I get caught up. The every other Friday that I don't order will be organizing them. I think I'm four years behind? I've also ordered more recent photos too. I'm all over the place.
I will just work on the organizing aspect but won't be able to participate in the challenges.

Cleaning up my studio is on my list of things to do, been there for 20 years.

I forgot to take a picture, but today I spent a half hour getting stuff off the floor so I can properly sort it & put it away.
Editted to add: I have joined a Facebook scrappy group where she hosts a Zoom once a month. The group itself is called Creative-“ly Crafted” Memories. If folks want to join us I think she'd love to grow the community. If you've already joined, be really cool to have a few Pea Refugees on the Zoom. There's one this Friday.
I had planned to actually start sorting some paper today, but my mom is coming for a visit tomorrow, so I decided it was better to wait. I didn't think I could get done in a day, and I want the place to be tidy when she's here.
