Aby, Aby, Aby... she's my creative organizing hero- hmm scratch hero, insert hipster. She's got it going on in the scrapbooking world and was our guest today on The O Myth.. the radio show I co-host w/ Brandie Kajino. We debated + debunked the organizing myth "creative people can't get organized"- which is a total + complete myth sister! Missed the Live show- no biggie, listen to the show here: The O Myth.
Brandie + I mentioned a couple of books for you creative, right brainers (takes one to know one) including Aby's book that we will be giving away!

As much as I try to stay organized I find it is a stuggle with how busy our lives are and trying to balance it all. I have visitied Aby's blog before and have found some really helpful ideas. I am pleased to have found your radio program and your blog. It would be great to win Aby's book.
My creative outle paper crafting.
Thanks,
Cheryl

I wish I would have caught the interview, but I will listen online as soon as I leave this comment. The book looks very inviting and her blog has lots of wonderful ideas.
Creative Outlet - which one? I love to take photographs and then make digital scrapbook pages as gifts and such. I also love to sew, quilt, make candles, bath/body products. I started writing a book awhile ago, at least I have the outline done, but haven't worked on it in awhile. I am still learning the blogging concept, but I do find it interesting - reading and writing!
This year, I have focused more of my time and energies on getting organized and staying organized so I can use my time more efficiently.
Would love to organize my craft room - hint, hint!!
