Organizing My Thrit Store Finds


This morning, I was organizing my DecoArt acrylic paints where I write down the color, color number and paint the color onto small cards. These cards are then put into a binder, using the clear baseball card sleeves I found at Walmart.

This way, when I need a paint color, I just check my binder to see if I have it.



I absolutely love to buy clothes from the thrift store. I look at the clothes as if they were fabric, so, of course, I have tons.










And my thrift store finds are all jammed into my fabric closet. Since they are so jumbled, I don't know what colors I have.










So, I was thinking, why not organize my fabrics like my paints.










So, I ventured into the fabric closet and cut a little piece off of each thrift store find. Then I took these small pieces, glued them onto blank cards and filed them into a binder, again using the clear baseball cards sleeves. And Voila! I am organized. :-)













Hmmmmm, my yarns need organization.

Peace,

Lydia
