Talk About A Scrapbooking Giveaway

Talk About TuesdayThis contest is now closed. Congratulations Marne for being the winner!

Welcome to Talk About Tuesday! If you are new, check out the Guidelines before posting. Thanks for joining us!

For Talk About Tuesday this week I have a fun gift to give away and you scrapbookers/organizers are going to love it! Some of you may already know Abby from Creative Organizing and the fabulous book that she and Wendy Smedley came out with last year, The Organized and Inspired Scrapbooker. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it and Abby was sweet enough to offer one for me to give away as well.

The Organized and Inspired ScrapbookerAnyone who does scrapbooking or any kind of crafting knows how difficult it is to create in a cluttered unorganized space. We would all like to be more organized but it can be so overwhelming that it's difficult to know where to start. If only you had someone to hold your hand through each step it might be possible. That's exactly what The Organized Inspired Scrapbooker will do for you. Don't wait any longer to spend time doing what you love. Get organized now!

In my opinion this book is not just for scrapbookers. It is a wonderful resource for getting any creative space organized. It will help you explore fun container options, organizing methods and design systems. I love the colorful, detailed photos of Wendy and Aby's work rooms along with several other spaces all the way from whole room studios to a craft closet in a dining room. There is nothing like having an organized and inspiring space to get your creative juices flowing. You'll find something for everyone and any budget in The Organized and Inspired Scrapbooker.

This book is too scrumptious to forget on a shelf somewhere. I have been looking through it over and over as I figure out how I want to organize my own studio and I can't wait to share it with you!

Just leave a comment on this post (don't forget to leave an email address) and I will pick a winner on Friday. As long as the comments are open it's not too late to enter!

What are you talking about this week?

Lara, I want this book. Seriously. No, really. You have to pick ME!

I'm moving to a bigger house in a few weeks where I will actually have MY OWN SCRAPBOOKING SPACE! I can hardly even believe it. The book would be perfect to get me orgainized from the start.

*keeping my fingers crossed*

This sounds like a fantastic book. I have had such an organizing "itch" lately! I am getting rid of so many things we don't need and it feels so good! Are we going to see some photos of your newly organized space? If you have already please forgive my "mommy brain". Your blog truly inspires me! Valerie

 
At April 08, 2008, Blogger JujuBean said...

I've seen this book before and seriously coveted that big, organized space! I think I don't craft as much a I could because I can't stand to do it in a disorganized space! Thanks for your fabulous ideas!
