So I woke up this morning and in that quiet few minutes where I was totally awake but kept laying there as if I were still sound asleep my mind turned to the new digital scrapbook kit I downloaded yesterday. Specifically I started thinking about organizing all my digi scrapping stuff.

And it occurred to me that this is going to be both easier and harder because it is HighTech.

First of all, I don’t need to buy any fancy organizing containers. Easier.
I can’t physically move stuff to put things together and see what I have. Harder.
I can put things in multiple places. Harder now, easier later.

Then I realized this is the best part of organizing things digitally. I can leave all my digital scrapbooking kits together in a folder so I can create quick, easy coordinated layouts. I can ALSO pull all the papers out and store them in a Paper folder. Also keep a copy of the embellishments in an Embellishments folder. Clearly, it will take much longer to do this up front, but later when I’m looking for things I will undoubtedly find what I’m looking for so much easier.

Of course all this fun digi organizing will have to wait until the festive holiday parties are done, the food all eaten and the wrapping paper thrown out. Oh well, it will wait.
