the start:)

this is my expedit bookcase in the basement. we will be converting this room into an office/guestroom in the next few months. the color will be the first to go:)

BUT, in the meantime:

the bottom binders are in categories: florida, new york, christmas, etc. those books are all nice and organized so they will stay as is. i still have a few maps so i can get another maybe 4 binders?

mini-albums in baskets. it is full to the brim:) 

more mini-albums. nice and organized:)

basket of 8.5x11 pages i still need to fill. some will be re-done to save space, others will stay as is.
and that my friends, is what it is all about:)

minimize:)

this is what is left of my once HUGE stash that filled up a whole room.

it all fits on one side of the living room  cabinets.

whenever i get the need to paper scrap i can just do it on the table :).

the start of my library of memories. still filing under the four big categories: all about us, things we do, places we go and people we love.

some of my 12x12 albums that will be slowly converted to a 3 ring system
also i have 5 3-up albums that are staying as is:)
