Design break

I have been taking a design break this summer.  Sorry I have been MIA but I really needed a break.  I will be coming back toward the end of September and will be back in full swing by October.  Thank you so much for understanding.  I will be keeping up with this blog more often when I get back. 
For now you can still buy from my store at GingerScraps.  Don't forget to grab my freebies while you are there!  Also as a please forgive me for my absence here is a coupon for you!  It's good for 45% off anything in my store!  Sabbatical_SbyJ exp. Sept 20th. 

Keeping it real...Shoes!

Julie over at My Crazy Life..As Mom and Wife has challenged us!  I took that challenge lol.  My keeping it real topic is shoes.  I have a family of 4, we have ALOT of shoes!  Our shoe pile is so massive I didn't know what to do with them all.  So I started throwing them into an empty Tupperware tub.  That's right, they are all throw together into one huge box.  We seem to do well with this system until it's time to go somewhere and the tub ends up being emptied looking for a specific shoe lol.  The shoes don't always make their way to the tub either.  I still find shoes all over the house, in the kids room, in the kitchen, even in the bathroom!  I guess my system is flawed.  Oh well, the kids don't mind!  They love playing in it!

 

 

 I have many, many more issues than just our shoes but this is a good start lol.
