organized and calm

well sort of calm...as calm as i ever get anyhow. *slightly hysterical giggle and hair tugging*
i took all of your good advise and came up with this plan to keep track of my swaps and gifts to be made and stuff like that. i made a folder and put tabs in it each swap or gift has a tab. inside each tab area are sheets that say stuff like "rules" and "spoilee" where i can put all the things i know about the swap and my swap partner. i also put in sheets for ideas (because usually i doodle out my ideas and make lists of all the possible things i COULD make till i decide on the best ones) and a sheet for patterns (where i can keep any pertinint patterns.) each tab also has a check list with a hopefull date to finish each item. in the front i printed some calendars so that i can see what hard deadlines are comming up for mailing etc. i also set up my phone to do reminders a day before the actuall mailing date. yay! i really do feel much better now and have no fear that anything will get forgotten even durring my big move to california. :0) how about a pic of my supper spiffy folder? ok.

Would you like to come to Wyoming and organize me lol! And I don't know if there is such a thing as too much coffee ;)

Well, I gotta say ... one cup of coffee is *way* too much! (You'd agree if your tummy immediately returned the coffee to you, too!) Now, tea, on the other hand ::grins::

Hey, Pren, darlin'? Would you like to come over here to Missouri and do a bit of organizing? You do seem to do a bang-up job of it once you decide how you want to organize!
