have you seen the new scrapbooking tips & tricks premier issue, from creating keepsakes magazine? this is a special issue that will come out 4 times a year. and this first one is all about organization. there are over 200 easy ideas to help organize your supplies, layouts, albums, and more.

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.

    Congrats on working on this book. I love the school albums you made. Is the article kind of like that project?
    Thanks for the chance to win. I am in the middle of organizing. Thirty two days in and lots of progress has been made. I have the walk-in closet finished now I am working on the room one shelf, one draw at a time. I have found something funny all the counter space I have I still work off the queen bed.
