:GIVEAWAY: The Organized & Inspired Scrapbooker from CK Media [CONTEST CLOSED]

Scrapbookers rejoice!!

The Organized and Inspired Scrapbooker was an extremely popular book by Aby Garvey and Wendy Smedley that has been out of print and available for quite some time.

However, CK Media has given it a face lift and it is now again available to help the seriously unorganized scrapbookers among us!

While the content is EXACTLY the same as the original, there have been one change - the size and cover on the book. While the original was a square, hard-covered, spiral-bound book, this new edition is the more traditional among scrapbooking idea books in that it is rectangular and soft covered. Cost wise this can actually be a benefit as they were therefore able to lower the initial price.

I actually reviewed the original edition on my blog and you can read the review here. I have this original edition and love it. If you've followed my blog for awhile, you might remember that I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting Wendy at a crop a couple years ago and was gracious enough to even sign my copy! I will NEVER part with it!!!

You can also view a great sneak peak of what this wonderful edition has to offer below:





The Organized & Inspired Scrapbooker is currently available through the CK Media store for $16.95 or on Amazon.com for $11.16.

If you'd like to see more on organization from CK, they are actually currently hosting an organization week on their blog. Check it out!

GIVEAWAY:
I have one copy of The Organized & Inspired Scrapbooker to give away to one lucky reader! Simply leave a comment to this blog post answering the following question by 5 p.m. (CST) on Thursday, January 20th, 2011 and you'll be entered for your chance to win! Please include your letter answer and feel free to elaborate.

How organized is your scrapbook space/supplies?

D. a place for everything ... it's just that I tend to change that place often - I'm constantly looking for ideas to organize my supplies better and utilize my small room to it's maximum potential. I think I have a handle on almost everything except work flow - I find I'm reaching for key things so I need to work on that and also on how to 'pretty it up' a bit so it's not entirely about functionality! Thanks for chance to win!

All of the above-I will spend a couple of days going through everything I own and then sit down to work on something and my newly organized space is destroyed! Would love a copy of this book!

I would have to say B. I'm in the process of organizing! My paper is organized fairly well after my hubby built me a beautiful 81 slot 12 x 12 shelf, but my embellies could use some help as well as my paper scraps... Thanks for a chance to win!

I land between B and C. Some days I can see my flat surfaces but I have a place for some things. Of course when I lose things in the piles it gets frustrating. I could use the help in this book. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the contents page. So clean and wonderfully visual.

I'm somewhere be B and C. If I did clean up more after projects, but I tend to keep working until I have to ask where my computer mouse went..or I've lost my small pair of scissors more then 10 times.

I think I am between B and C also...I personally know my organization system, but someone looking from the outside (like my husband) may not....could use a little help!!! Thanks for the chance!

B - I'm not naturally an organized person, but I've been making an effort to put things away after each project, and I cleaned up last week, so my scrap space is better right now than it usually is.

B...I need to see the floor in order to vacuum it! I think I need some out of the box ideas on storage...I have piles of stuff and nothing is convenient. And maybe I should purge. Thanks so much!

B. Sure, it's a little messy, but I can still see most of my table top and floor.
I'm usually motivated to organize when you can't see any of the table anymore :-)

Thank you for the opportunity to win.

Sorry to say my answer is A but I'm trying. I really need to downsize my stuff but can't seem to do it. :o )

Right now I am dealing with C. If you had asked a month ago it would have been A. I spent Christmas break completely cleaning out my scrap area. It's not set up how I want it to be, but at least it's neat now and I know where things are!

I would say B. It's a mess, but I still have plenty of working space :) Could definitely use some organization inspiration.

my space is a hopeless mess.
We moved into a smaller place inSeptember, I have my own room, but everything is just thrown in. I'm over whelmed.

Thanks for the chance to win.

I'm probably between A and B. I have a space and have gotten it organized different times but have some projects out. It also becomes a dumping ground from time to time that needs cleaned up. I need help maintaining clean!

I would like to say I'm a C most of the time, only because I don't get to be creative all that much. But when I have time, I'm definately an A. Then it takes me 3-4 weeks to clean up so I can start all over again. And I'm probably don't have much time to be creative because I'm spending to much time cleaning up after myself. One big vicious circle.

I guess I would say I'm between C & D. I like to have a place for everything. I'm one of those scrappers that can't let everything pile up, even as I'm working on a project---I put away as I go. If it gets too cluttered, my creativity stops. But, I often have a little pile of stuff that I just can't figure out what to do with! That frustrates me!

I am between B and C. I am pretty organized, but I tend to always have a little mess on my scrapbooking desk. But most of the larger items are put back where they go. But I don't feel that my organized space is set up right. I am always still searching for things.

It was B, but since I'm changing rooms I hope I can get to C and keep it that way.
