Project Life - Getting Organized

I'm preparing to start my baby books for my two little monsters.

I've know for quite some time that I wanted to use the 

Project life syste

So I've spent the last year organizing my supplies

so that when I do find the time

it will be easy to find what I want relatively quickly.

We were given some puzzles a few years back for Christmas.

The boxes were clever but super impractical for storing the puzzle pieces.

Not only would the pieces get mixed up, 

but if you didn't have them all laying horizontal

you couldn't shut the lid. It was frustrating to say the least. 

So the puzzles found a new home,

and the boxes came to my rescue in the form of the "perfect"

organizing system for my Project Life supplies.

Here is an example of what type of boxes I'm talking about

in case you haven't seen them before.

But I'd keep an eye out at thrift store... 'cuz they're a little pricey.

I'm sure the boxes come in a variety of sizes but mine are the exact perfect

dimensions for the 3x4 and 4x6 standard Project Life cards. 

Couldn't be more perfect in fact! 

I could probably use a couple more boxes 

so that my system would be even easier.

But for now I have a section for words, letters and numbers, 

people, animals, and inadament objects.

You could have your paper organized by colors, and your objects by themes,

the possibilities are endless. 

I'm not exactly a world-class organizer so this system is sufficient enough for me. 

I save everything! 

I even find myself cutting up words from junk mail, 

or patches off my kiddos clothing, and of coarse old well loved books.

I also have purchased a handful of digital files just ready to print. 

(in fact you can snag a free set of 4 from my Springtime collection - here)

Anytime the camera comes out in this house

Bill dog is right there. I mean literally right in the middle of the action. 

It's pretty comical really although it drives me absolutely mad at the moment. 

Here are a few groupings I put together just playing around

with colors and such.

Then I played around with different concepts using some of the same elements.

Just like children playing with a puzzle

I could loose myself for hours just arranging different groupings. 

It's kind of therapeutic - at least for me. 

design without the sticky glue and clean up.

But of coarse the glue will find it's way out of the drawer

just as soon as I get some pictures printed,

and if I'm lucky get a little someone to start taking naps.

Do you have a Project Life scrapbook?

If so, have you come up with any clever storage/organizing solutions?
