i'm a happy basket case

<-- Oscar helped me with this entry. For some it's spring cleaning, but I've been obsessed with organizing for days. The garage & basement worthy Ikea shelves I got last year were a good start, but now I have little piles of things that fall over. Some of that was helped by the bookends my mom gave me for Xmas. I saw that Michael's was having a 40% of all basket sale, so I grabbed Mom & went. I had a list of 5-6 containers I needed for miscellaneous things, bits, collections, and projects. I got the 4 most important- everything fits perfectly, and was on sale- whoopee! I scored an extra one- long, shallow & narrow- a beautiful green, 70% off because it was "Christmas." I'll have that thing overloaded in no time. Now that I have twice as much horizontal space as I did last week, I can get my butt in gear & paint something for the CAP Art (For Life) Evening & Auction. I'm pretty pleased- I got a letter not long ago basically saying "gee, we really hope you can donate again this year." Freakin' rad. I'm so happy to have my work accepted by them for 2 years, and that both pieces sold for more than the value I place on them- now they're back for more because my works sells! How do ya like them apples!?
