STT120110 

it's a great issue. i love anything to do with organizing. even though my supplies are pretty organized, i still love seeing new ideas that maybe i didn't think of before. there are some really fun ideas for crop parties. it almost has me wanting to host a crop party, just to make the cute ideas. and i NEVER crop with anyone. lol! there's also a great article on organizing to create an album in an evening. i really love this article, and not just because i was a part of it ;) 

want to get 20% off the purchase price? use the promo code TIPSB at checkout, which is good until february 15th. do you want to get it FREE? i have two extra copies to give away to two of my lucky blog readers. so just leave me a comment, and i'll draw two names on friday morning.
