Stay Clutter-Free by Scrapbooking

I was becoming overwhelmed with the piles of paper on our counters, peeking out of drawers and taped to every inch of wall. I would save drawings and school work, stuffing it here or there for intended framing or scrapbooking. Then as I was looking for a box to stuff some more artwork into, it came to me. Now, I buy those photo albums that have the sticky cellophane sheet that you peel back, and I stick the little masterpiece right in. Movie tickets, little notes with original quotes from the kids, receipts for things like my daughters first pair of tap shoes, random pictures, stickers from the dentist, all that stuff you just can't bring yourself to throw out and just might serve as a memory. And if I ever do get around to framing something, I'll know just where to find it.
