It's funny how completely wrong gender stereotypes can be. You always hear of stories where the woman in a relationship is constantly picking up after the man. Not so in my house, definitely not so! I use to think that being messy comes along with the creativity gene but then I met Jim, quite possibly the cleanest and most creative man I've ever met. Damn, there goes my messy theory! I had one nickname growing up...Messy. It really has been a lifelong ailment.

One guess on how I'm going to try and better myself this year...that's right, picking up after myself. This really is at the heart of the problem. My bedroom and craft room aren't so much dirty as misplaced. I just need to get in the habit of putting things away, ugh.

So, I skipped out on classes yesterday and started putting our craft room in order. The shelves that replaced our closet are the worst but I am determined to get rid of some of the craft junk I have. Unfortunately, another one of my shortcomings happens to be that I'm easily distracted. So, while I'm de-cluttering my craft shelves I always come upon different things that I had totally forgotten about and since I'm not one to pass on a crafty moment or inspiration...there I am sitting in the middle of a mess making a Beaded Ring...



And here I am wasting more time by blogging but can blogging ever truly be time wasted? I think not!

I don't know how Jim deals with me?!
