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.

    Hi Laura,
    I would love to win a magazine to help me organize my SMALL scrapspace with LOTS of supplies. Thanks for giving us a chance.My husband loves the superbowl, can’t wait for Sunday. Our daughter’s 13 bday is on Feb.9 and that year he kept teasing me not to go into labor on that Sunday because I’d have to go to hospital by myself. Of course, he was kidding and she came after the superbowl that year. I would love to scrap all day on Sunday but will have to keep kids busy so my hubby can watch the game. Can’t wait to see more of your layouts.
