cathy I already have enough "STUFF" to fill 2 or 3 rooms lol. I have been collecting shelves and cabinets and tables and everything imaginable to organize for so long that I have a whole storage unit full. I will have to have a huge yard sale to get rid of all the extras lol. I make little drawings of what I want to do lol and I have enlisted the help of a friend who is willing to help me set it up and get it organized. I will have a whole area for sewing, another for scrapbooking, another for making the ribbons, and a small desk area for my laptop. I may even throw in an area for doing stained glass but probably only if I end up with the bigger room. I am glad it will all keep me busy so maybe I don't miss them as bad when they leave. Once I have it done I am going to throw a huge scrapping party and invite everyone i know lol, even all my N4M friends and I am sure some of them will make the trip lol. I will have to put together goodie bags of Navy Themed scrapbook stuff for each of them as a gift :-) I am so excited. Do you think my son would notice if I put his bed in storage? lol JK

catherine--i did something like that for my son's high school graduation present. i gave index cards for family to write messages and the took a picture of them eith my son. i put it in a8x8 scrapbook. it is a good size. not too big or too small. now is the time to plan and start. you will not be rushed to get it done quickly.

@Catherine Elizabeth - Great idea!  I had the same idea although I'm going to handle it differently.  I saved everything my son got during hid processing in(e.g. DEP card, papers)  I also took pictures of all the going away activities.  When he was ready to leave, I took pictures  of each person saying good-bye.  I will continue as he gets pictures along the way of his Naval career.  It should be great fun to document his progress.

@Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons - Get rid of a kid!  You need a craft room.  I got mine when my daughter got married.  When I took over the room I thought I would never fill it.  Twelve years later I am busting at the seams.  I keep finding more things that I absolutely must have.  I'm out of control.

Welcome to the group Cathy, I am a fanatic too only not borderline lol. Feel free to post pics of some of your creations. We love sharing ideas. I do all my work form my kitchen table and I cannot wait until I have a craft room. In fact I have a storage building full of shelves and cabinets and counter tops to make it all perfect. I also have 2 seniors in high school, one joining the Navy and one going away to college so I plan to make very good use of one of their rooms lol. I am hoping organizing it will keep the empty nest blues away :-)

Just found this group.  Got excited because I am a borderline fanatic.  You should see my craft room!  I have been doing more scrapping and card making since my son went off to BC.  It really helps to ease the loneliness.

Go to www.cricutmachine.com they have cheap cartridges and when I got mine free shipping. Also check eBay or amazon.com.

No, my sister-in-law has a cricut though.  She doesn't have the military cartridge, but maybe I'll buy it and she can let me use it.  Good idea!
