resolutions...early! Finished crawl space update!

Okay, so its only October but I think I am hitting a point in my life that I need to get serious about some areas of my life. Life just keeps getting busier, its still great, and loving it, but the next stage with the kids is going to require ME to be more self-disciplined, planned and organized! 

I also need to make some decisions about my hobbies.  My hobbies...

• scrapbooking
• sewing
• decorating

I love them all, BUT I am also not feeling on top of them or at free will to do what I need to do when I can.  Mainly the scrapbooking part of my life.  I sew when I do need to for gifts; little fixes and things for myself don't get done right away, but eventually they seem to get done.  Decoration requires so much more than just me and my time, so I am okay with that area.  But oh, the scrapbooking and photo area of my life needs some intervention and order soon or I might quit=which I do NOT want to do.

So, Lord, help me figure out the Best (by this I mean best for ME, not anyone else, and my family's life and schedule, as well as my creative outlet needs.) way to bring order and joy to this hobby of mine.  Fulfill its purpose in my life and help me take productive steps towards reaching goals of order, a system, organization, and time to create.  Thank you for making me the way that I am-a photo loving, creative wife and mom.

Amen

Now, the pictures of the finished crawl space! It took many hours of cleaning and ripping out the carpet. As well as lots of organizing and gutting that lead to areas not in the crawl space! But I am happy to show the results.

I wish the pictures gave it justice as much as I feel, but hopefully you get the idea.  Reality of life is that we are truly constantly organizing, but the mold is cleaned off and we are able to check off this area, for a while at least!
