Annual Organization
Challenge Week #2
How did you make out with last week's challenge?
Did you find your work table?
Here's this week's challenge:
Your challenge this week is to S.P.A.C.E. your
paper - - and I mean ALL of your paper: cardstock, patterned paper, specialty
papers, and all those SCRAPS!
SORT: Bring all of your paper to one area. Sort it all into piles: KEEP, SELL, DONATE, TRASH
SORT: Bring all of your paper to one area. Sort it all into piles: KEEP, SELL, DONATE, TRASH
PURGE: bag up, and
assign a price to paper bundles that you want to SELL at a
garage sale or online, and put the bags in the garage sale box. Throw out the TRASH pile.
Bag up the DONATE pile and immediately make arrangements for drop-off/pick-up
or put in your vehicle.
ASSIGN: separate your
paper into categories that make sense to you. For example, you may want to
divide it simply into cardstock and patterned paper. If you have a huge stash
of paper, you may want to divide it by colour, theme, or manufacturer.
**Another way to sort your paper is in page kits.
Package matching patterned papers in a zip lock or similar bag, add matching
cardstocks and embellishments to create kits.
CONTAINERIZE: store you
paper in a way that makes sense to you:
- vertical paper holders
- hanging vertical file folders
- wire cubes
- paper trays
- paper organizers
- bookcases with adjustable shelves

EQUALIZE: each time you
finish a scrap session, return from a crop, or bring home new papers, spend a
few minutes putting your paper away where it belongs.
