Odds 'N Ends Day
Today was the day I finally tackled all my magazines! Perhaps it doesn't sound like such a big deal, especially since I'm not a big purchaser or subscriber but it involved cleaning out the shelves, finding the binders, vacuuming, dusting and moving some stuff around too! The biggest stroke of luck was that I finally found my magazine holders. I must have bought them a century ago and I should have bought a truckload because I've never found them for sale since - not that I can remember where I got them...
They're such nice heavy plastic - they last forever! They're thin enough that they don't leave a dent in the magazine either. You just slide the slot up the middle of the magazine and then put it in the binder - tidy and DONE!
The next job was a looooong overdue sort and organize of all the patterns I've printed off the internet! That meant more binders and some clear plastic sleeves.
And every time I thought I was done, I'd remember a few more tucked away "temporarily" somewhere! LOL! By the time I was done I had assembled quite a stack!
Pattern books on the left, magazine binders on the right. The thin red binder is only for projects for the immediate future (I had the Botanica Medallion in there for a few months) and the clear cover folio is for my favorite edgings. It was a pretty good feeling to finally get it done! It was also good to have a look at some of the patterns I had tucked away and make some changes in the "future projects" book! It didn't hurt to clean up that corner of the office, either! Ha!

Good for you! I need to do this as well. You've inspired me to tackle this in the morning.

Well done! Isn't it inspiring to re-discover those really cool patterns we all have tucked away? Almost as good as actually starting them! LOL!
