Default Ok, so I was wrong....

I know I said I was pretty organized but.... after stamping a few cards last night, I realize that I look organized but I have a long way to go before I can call myself that. It shouldn't take three hours to complete one card! That is what happens when you have to look for your "hidden" supplies. Also, when you have to walk across the room to retreive an item because you don't have room for the things you use all the time to be nearby. Anyway, even though I did not get much done in the way of stamping last night, I did get my therapy session!! Thanks again! Terrica

you look way too happy to be in the disorganized state of chaos that I am. I think i should have the cabinet. It wants to live with me ....

I know what you mean about the time issue....I spend most of my crafting time gathering up what I need and searching for supplies...and it seems to take three times as much time to do that as it does to actually make the card...

Ok, so I was thinking, if someone is already a mess and disorganized, would a scrapbox really help them? I think an organized person, would best benefit from something like this, so they can have more room and get rid of the 15 individual shelves holding stamps and the multiple containers with all of the accessories that are not within reach so it takes hours just to complete one card!! Being a single mom much of the time because of my DH's deployments, and having special needs children, makes my time very valuable. I am not saying that the other applicants are not deserving, I am sure they all are, after all, SCS is full of the most talented, most wonderful people around! I am just saying, I am a good candidate for this great prize! ;0

I was thinking I need to add.... being a military family and moving every three years, it is hard to save money, especially when of course, my kids come first. We have spent countless amounts on doctors for our kid's special needs. We have spent countless amounts on special schools, supplies and such. And with my DH being deployed often, we have spent countless amounts on travel supplies. I have not been able to work outside of the home for so many years because of the issues that the kids have I have to be available at a moment's notice. I didn't intend to make this a sob story but there are so many deserving ladies pleading for this wonderful organizational tool, and I feel my chances slipping away. I just want to say that my sanity has only been held in place because of my opportunity to stamp, create, and give. Thanks again! Terrica

This one was my second post. It really added to my first one. (trying not to be left in the dust!)
