Chapter 14 in Organize Now by Jennifer Ford Berry is “Organize Your Crafts”.  This one has me in a quandary… I think the work I’ve been doing on my office is addressing the craft organization, but I am intentionally ignoring the closet full of sewing supplies.  To be really faithful to this process, I should set that closet up before I can say I’m truly done with this chapter.

But, guess what? We’re in the process of buying a house!  We’ll be moving at the end of August!  I am not going to set up the sewing closet just to pack it up and have to do it over again.  AND – all the craft stuff that we put in the attic this summer will be coming out.  So I am going to put Chapter 14 on hold and do it at the new house where I will either have a whole room devoted to my crafts, or the whole two-car garage!  Woo-hoo!

Chapter 15 is “Organize Your Photographs”.  I am considering this part of my crafting process and will do once I set up the new craft room – so, it’s also being postponed.

Chapter 16: “Organize Your Purse”.  I feel like I’m cheating a little bit.  When I started college, I got my first purse. I had been using a man’s wallet in my pants until then, but I started wanting to carry other things around with me and I needed a really big bag for it all.  I had everything I could possibly need at a minutes notice!  Chapstick, membership cards, screwdrivers, tape measures, books, colored pencils – whatever!   One day, with a great deal of asperity, my Mom said that I couldn’t carry a can of WD40 in my purse and I realized that she was right.  What I needed was a toolbox in my car and then I could quit carrying that heavy bag around!  PHEW!

I do have a purse now, but it’s very small and fits in Robin’s diaper bag.  I emptied it out and straightened it up so I can say I am done with Chapter 16! WooHoo!
