Organization II

Do you organize your crafting supplies? Do you sometimes buy something you already have? We've all done this. I now keep a list on Evernote. It's an app that I can use in both my personal computer and my phone. I keep separate file folders for:

• Stamps
• Dies
• Paint (like embossing paste)
• Embossing Folders
• Punches
• Stencils
• Sequins (yes!)
• Techniques and Tutorials

Each item I purchase gets a new note in one of the folders. I number them, tag them and add a photo.

For instance, I just bought the Barn Door bundle.

In the stamping folder I made a new note:

• 978 SU Barn Door <- title of note, "SU" means Stampin' Up!
• 2018 Occasions 145865 <- catalog and number
• MATCHING DIE D234 SU Sliding Door <- note that it has a matching die and the Evernote number for it.
• (picture goes here, cut and pasted from the web)
• hello  <- I then type in a list of all the words and sentiments so I can search on them.I'm so happy to know you
• may your troubles be less and your blessings be more
• and nothing but happiness come through your door

And for tags, I put items that help me search on the pictures or sentiments. For this note, I put in "barn", "wreath", "door", "hello". For others I might put in "Happy Birthday" or "Congratulations" or "Valentine".


I hope this helps get your 2018 in order!
