Jimmy Buffett, post holiday shopping and organization tips
December 31, 2008
Good day today!
I met a friend at Cheeseburger in Paradise for lunch and had a yummy bleu cheese burger and onion strings (okay, and a margarita too….). But I seriously think the best thing about the restaurant was sitting in a beach chair in the lobby. I honestly felt like I was on the beach (well, except for the gale force winds that were making the wind howl outside….).
Did a little shopping, got some birthday presents for my son (he’s a January baby, so we clean up on post-Christmas sales 
) and worked out at the gym. After all that, hubby and son took the tree out of the house, and we put things back to where they belong.
My studio is a complete mess, despite doing some deep cleaning yesterday! I hope to get things a little better organized tomorrow. My beads and stones are supposed to be organized by color in snap-top containers (similar to the photo) and stacked in a bookcase. 
Since I use the clear/opaque boxes, I can easily see which box contains which color of beads. Well, the beads and stones that are IN the boxes are easy to find, that is. The rest are in piles on my work table.
Wire is in a canvas accordion file (by type of metal and gauge) and stays pretty well organized.
I haven’t found a good way to organize my jump rings yet – they are just in labeled baggies in a shoebox. At least they are contained. Sometimes I have to dig a little to find the right size, but it’s really not too bad.
So tomorrow I’ll attack the piles…maybe I’ll even find some “treasures” that I forgot about!
