Hello everyone, it's that time again!!!  I am doing things a bit different for myself personally - and hopefully this challenge will actually help me get more done both business wise, and personally!  Now, I will be honest with you - I am technology challenged, but am researching the best ways to organize my smart phone, my tablet and my computer together - in order to get more done in life!  Right now - I have a notebook - and use it I will until I figure all of that little stuff out!!!!  (If you have any good apps you use for this - please make sure you send me a message here!!!)       So, lets get started - grab your calendar, tablet, smart phone, sheet of paper and a pen/pencil - whatever you need to organize yourself and lets do this!!!  Take a look at your calendar until the middle of April - what do you have going on for you personally that needs to get done and taken care of in the next few weeks?   Next look at things until the end of May - what else do you have t

I don't have a lot of room in the current space I have - but it's a whole lot better than living in a hotel for a year while my husband was going to school and having even LESS space to work with than I do now!!!  I can actually create in the area I have now, though it is a bit cramped!!!!  I started making a list as to what isn't working - and what I need to do in order to be able to get more done in all aspects of my life!  I am on a budget, plus my space is for both work and creative purposes, as well as my own business - so I have my work cut out for me in this project for sure!   I know it isn't going to be overnight that I get all of the pieces I need for my space, as well as a new space all my own to create in!  In between time, I make the best out of what I have - and will grab pieces that I can bring with me, that is stylish AND can be used for different things too!!!  But - the whole key is to get more done and be more organized by the time this project is

How many projects do YOU have right now - that needs to get done?  This is one of many I have right now, a folio album (my first) !!!  My problem is - when I start something, I get halfway through before I end up starting something else - and then something else halfway through that - and then halfway through that, I might start something else!  Th at is f or my OWN projects - yet if I am making something for someone else, or to sell, I can whip them right up!  This is what I am working on right now :  My Grandmothers Recipe's album - a digital album with scans of her recipe cards, made with Shutterfly so others can purchase one themselves!  Since it is started already, once I get rolling it shouldn't be too long to finish it up!  Christmas paper bag album - just in time for Christmas in July (wink wink)!  This one I might be able to handle, along with some fun Christmas cards too!   The album pictured above - my first ever Folio Style album!!!  I might have to do e

Can we just say I am a bit behind the times!  I just recently got my first smartphone, and am learning all the fun things you can do with these fun devices, both business wise AND personal!  The fun little games to keep you occupied, the money saving apps, reading apps, and time saving apps too!  Yet I am old school too you might say, where a good ole' pen and paper helps me just fine when it comes to keeping track of things that needs to get done!  Today's post - is all about getting things planned out for the upcoming events and things in your life!   Now - as you look at this post, please do not think it is all about getting ready for the holiday's - it's not!  If you don't celebrate them, then great, your list will be a bit different than other people's will be (and less stressful when it comes to making things)!!!   Okay - grab your favorite items to organize yourself with - your smartphone, calendar, pen and pencil, notebook, sticky notes - and let'
