sunday afternoon project - organize cards

coming to you from pullman

most of sunday was spent organizing my papers (huge stacks have accumulated), art supplies, old class notes.  this involved buying a lot of Tupperware.  one project in particular was to organize my cards.  I have lots of unused cards and think that maybe if they were organized, i would actually use them instead of running to the store every time i need a card.  i have a card for probably every occasion...just hard to find.  so, had great idea to organize them.  set up camp on my bed so that i could watch a movie at the same time. 

 the "before" picture.  drawer of cards on the left
including a "happy boss's day to the top banana,
from one of the bunch" card that i think my boss
will appreciate (boss's day observed on Oct 17th
 this year - don't forget!); supplies on the right

 addy helped throughout the entire project

 dividers cut and ready to go; my labels were: thank you,

blank, Christmas, invitations, misc. holidays, misc.,

stamps 'n things, and envelopes

some of my favorite "misc." cards were an "I will miss

you" card that never made it to it's intended recipient -

unused, but I remember who I bought it for, and an "I'm

so happy you said yes" - well, to that effect anyway, and

they actually said "no," which is why I still have the card.

 this is where addy chose to spend a large

portion of her time during the project

finished!  very pleased with the final result.

watched no strings attached while i was organizing my cards.  the second movie in my weekend movie marathon (just go with it, no strings attached, and something borrowed).  it was more rom than com.  not a waste of a dollar, or whatever they are charging at red box these days.  some of my favorite moments were when he made her a period mix, when she said he gave her premature ventricular contractions (although i think what she meant to say, was he gives her an AV block; premature ventricular contractions feel like a skipped beat, but it's actually an extra beat that is initiated in the ventricles instead of the SA node; AV block is literally your heart skipping a beat...or two.  i'm sure she wasn't being literal.  As a side note, to this aside, i am having premature ventricular contractions as i write this from having too much coffee), and when he told her she eats like a baby dinosaur.  also, kevin kline was in it, which was awesome.

happy crafting!

countdown: 4 days until fall
