Too Much Paper

My current messiness is paper. I haven't met a paper pad I didn't like. I tend to gravitate towards ephemera paper for some reason, even though I own nothing that has to do with ephemera. Which means I have a lot of it, and it's totally unorganized. I've tried organizing by style, color, theme, you name it! I've tried storing the paper in a organizer that hangs on your door. That was a fail. Then I tried organizing in some plastic boxes. That sort of worked, until it became too overwhelming. I bought some portable paper storage with handles. That is the current storage solution, but only if I put the paper away once I'm done using it. Sometimes, those little scraps of paper find their way out to other parts of my house. I'm pretty sure my dog has eaten some of them.

I have a lot of ephemera embellishments. I have no idea why. They were probably on sale. I've been making some junk journal beginner bundle kits to get rid of them. I don't junk journal or do any kind of journaling, in fact. I just like making them. I've tried journaling, but when I read back what I wrote I a) can't read my handwriting, b) I ramble, and c) I end up shredding what I wrote because I wouldn't want anyone reading what I wrote after I croak! Ha! Ha! But, I'm getting off topic here.

I'm in the process of making another junk journal bundle kit. I was looking for that lace ribbon in the picture, but couldn't find it. I know it's in that room somewhere! Unfortunately, not in the spot where I keep all my other ribbons. What a surprise! I'm sure it's right in front of me. Le sigh...
