Like Mother Like Daughter Layout

For my wedding my Aunt Rosie gave me one of the best gifts. Photos of my Mom when she was young. You know for a scrapper how big that was. Especially since she passed on three years ago. I never seen most of these pictures she had. It was a great gift!

Well as I'm skimming through them I see this picture of my Mother (the one on left) I almost fell out of my chair, literally. I knew I looked like my Mom but holy smokes batman! I immediately remembered the picture taken of me. (the one on right) When I put them next to each other the resemblance was uncanny. The tilt of the head, the hair, the eyes...one is shaped different then the other, the shape of the face...just so much alike!

When I was printing this picture out last night, for fun I superimposed them on one another....Wow!

I now understand why my Aunts & Uncles look at me that way sometimes.

Miss you so much Mama xoxoxo I'm a lucky girl to look just like you!

Just for fun....this is the superimposed photo :) Can you see it?

Badge, button, flair, whatchamacallits storage on my Harbor Freight spinner

Took a little trip to Staples today & picked up a few things...But what I was really excited to get was some magnetic tape. Look what I did with it. 

Be sure to read at the bottom for a couple of tips.

I wrapped it around my Harbor Freight spinner for all my buttons or badges or whatever you like to call them! Can't tell you how excited this made me LOL. I have soooo many of them & I always forget what I have. Now when I think my page can use one I'll just spin to find the right one. (Going to buy another roll because I will run out of room on the 2 tiers I put it on. An added plus it that they are so darn cute to be hidden away in a drawer, now I can enjoy them!

A little tip... when you first get the roll unroll it in the opposite direction & secure it for about a half hour or more. Then it will wrap around the tier easier. Also I had to secure the very edges of the tape with some washi. The tape I bought doesn't go completely around. I strategically placed it so the tape starts & ends on the part of the spinners I always keep in back. But that's my wackiness.... you may not be as OCD as I am.

*One of the edges of tape was lifting a little so make sure you secure it well. I wound up putting the washi from one end of the tape to the other... like this:

Or you can glue it if you like.

Picked up an organizer for my desk & a magnetic To Do list too.

I guess today was a shopping trip made of things to help me remember what I have so I use them. 

The desk organizer is for the paper & embellies I want to remember to use. I belong to a lot of kit clubs & I was just  grabbing a kit & adding from my stash....but for some reason I wasn't "digging" through my stash to find the real geams! My plan is to periodically go through my stash & put it in the organizer. Then as I'm working I'll just look through it.

I think I'm going to be getting another to keep empty & put the supplies of the layout I'm working on right in there. Then put away everything I didn't use as soon as I'm done with the layout. Hoping to give me some extra space on my desk.

The purchase of the To Do list is an obvious one ;)

So there you have it!
