steadily we plough

I am making progress on the computer room clearing, finishing my box of memories last night.

Over the years I have been accumulating DVD's, photo CD's etc of our own and some that others have given us.

I now have them all in a big bright blue box ... wedding videos, wedding photos, wedding placecards, wedding invitations, photos from kt's year at kindy on cd, bellydancing video on DVD etc.

I also have other odds and ends that I want to remember in here in a small flip photo album. These are things like ticket stubs from movies or theatre shows, clippings from newspapers etc.

The next stage in sorting things out is to continue with Kt's artworks ... such a daunting task when you look at the pile of them!

I look at it, have no idea where to start and instantly USED TO jump on the computer and head to farmtown or farmville.

Now I prefer to use something else more productive like sweeping the kitchen floor or cleaning the bathroom basin or doing a load of washing ... or LOL writing a blog entry :-D. Now you know what I have been up to this morning :-P

I just have to remember to break up my big unmanageable jobs into much smaller doable parts. It is so easy to do in theory and once I get started there is no stopping me ... but starting is difficult.

I also need to make space for the cupboard arriving on Tuesday ... another daunting task.

I will be playing musical boxes, with my stuff for the next week ... moving things from one room to the next to make room and then rearrange and make room elsewhere...

Ok time to stop procrastinating now ....

  1. Can't remember where I saw it but read a good idea about making artwork photos books. Essentially, take photos of pictures, models, collages etc before turfing them. Then compile and publish a photo book. Saves space and there will always be evidence that they were made and loved. :-) Think I might do that some day down the track. lol!

  2. I have been taking pictures and I will be putting them onto a blog site that mum has prepared for me.

    I will also keep some artworks in folders... and of course save anything that ends up on the computer onto disk too.

    I didn't think of the photobook idea ... that would be another good physical record.

    Hmmmmmm will keep it in mind! Thanks
