ammonium obsessive: Organizing Craft Supplies

Every year as soon as Christmas is over I get anxious to start simplifying our home. Organizing craft supplies in my craft hutch was at the top of my list. This month with gift wrapping, handmade gift making, and lack of time its become total chaos in my craft space. We dedicated a corner in our master bedroom for my craft supplies so that I didn?t have to use the kitchen counter anymore. I thought it would be easier to keep track of everything but that?s not always the case. I?d show you the entire craft space but I?m not done organizing and decorating it yet, so that will have to wait for another post. But I will show you my craft hutch beautifully organized just the way I imagined it would be when I bought it last summer.

Its simple with neutral colors, definitely my ideal craft space!

Here is the before?

As you can see nothing matched and it was so disorganized that I had a hard time keeping track of what supplies were in which bin. These are only my most used craft supplies, half of our master bedroom closet is used for craft supplies as well-yikes! That?s a whole new project to work on in 2013, but for now I needed something to help me organize my craft space. I found a 4 pack of baskets on clearance for $13 at Lowes this week and was thrilled that they were exactly what I?ve been looking for.

The tags remind me of faux chalkboard tags. To make them I used my Brother P-touch labeler, die cutting machine, Core?dinations Black Magic cardstock and sand-it set. Once my labels were cut I used the paper sander to lightly sand the edges and front of the tags. The black magic cardstock has a color on the backside that appears when you sand or cut it (for these tags I used the black and white paper). Then I created labels for each basket. The deco modes on the P-Touch Labeler are SO cute and there are a large variety of icons for any theme you?re looking for.

I?ve been using my Brother P-Touch labeler to organize the baskets as well as various other projects around the house. This little tool is a lifesaver! I?m a visual person, I like to see where everything is neatly put away and have some sort of organization system going on with everything in the house. We are in the process of tackling the kids rooms this weekend. Target has some pretty cute plastic bins for kids. We bought heart patterned containers for my daughters toys and we started labeling them by toy group. Santa brought her toys with way too many small pieces this year, so we need to make sure we don?t lose them!

How will you stay organized in 2013?

Three New Jersey police officers shot; gunman reported dead

(Reuters) - Three New Jersey police officers were shot early on Friday at their police station, and one was in surgery for his wounds, a hospital official said.

The suspected gunman, who had been brought to the Gloucester Township Police station for a domestic incident, was killed in the exchange of gunfire, local TV reported, citing police officials. Gloucester is in central New Jersey about 16 miles outside of Philadelphia.

"A violent struggle occurred while the suspect was being processed," Gloucester Deputy Police Chief David Harkins said, according to Philadelphia TV station NBC10. The man was able to grab a gun and then opened fire.

The gunman was killed by police during the confrontation, Gloucester Police Chief W. Harry Earle said, according to the NBC10 report.

Gloucester Township Police declined to comment on the incident or to confirm the NBC10 report. An officer answering the phone said a press statement would be issued later in the day and a press conference was scheduled for Friday afternoon.

The three wounded police officers, two men and a woman, were brought to Cooper University Hospital shortly after 6 a.m. EST (1100 GMT), hospital spokeswoman Lori Shaffer said.

Two of the officers suffered minor wounds, but one of the three, a male, required surgery, Shaffer said. She had no more information on the extent of the officer's wounds.

The incident follows several recent multiple shootings in the United States, and comes two weeks after a gunman killed 26 people, including 20 children, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

One week ago in western Pennsylvania, a man with a pistol fatally shot three people and then opened fire on police. Three officers were injured in that incident, one in a collision from a car chase with the gunman, another from bullet fragments to the face and a third who was struck with gunfire to the chest but survived because he was wearing a bulletproof vest.

Mother to Legislators: Do Not Deny Mental Health Services to Most ...

Editor's Note: This speech was presented at a legislative breakfast to local legislators because nonprofit mental health services in Connecticut have been cut dramatically with the most recent budget cuts.?

I?m Fran, and I?m the parent of two wonderful children: a 22-year-old daughter and a 24-year-old son, Josh.? Josh is funny, he?s smart, he?s very affectionate, we love him to death ... and he lives with developmental disabilities and mental illness. He operates within a pretty small world and does best when there is a lot of predictability in his routine and in his environment. He faces enormous obstacles in his life, but has the same needs for dignity and a satisfying quality of life that you and I share.?

He is fortunate to qualify for support through the state Department of Mental Health and Human Services, and extremely fortunate to receive that support through Gilead Community Services.?

I also have the privilege of serving on Gilead?s board of directors. This gives me the rare opportunity to see the delivery of services not only from Josh?s perspective, but also from an administrative point of view. What I see is an organization with enlightened administrators, and an extremely dedicated staff that has done heroic work to find creative ways to stretch dollars without compromising client services.?

But because of chronic underfunding, Gilead has reached the point where the dollars available simply won?t stretch any further. With the governor?s latest recissions, (see attached pdf) Gilead will have to cut four staff and 40 clients.? As a parent I worry.? Will Josh be one of those?? If so, where will he go???

Even if he?s one of the lucky ones who isn?t cut, his program staff?already stretched too thin?will be reduced again.? This will inevitably reduce the number of case managers who are available to maintain the security and predictability of his world, and respond to crises when they occur.? He will experience more stress, which increases his anxiety.?

If the source of his anxiety isn?t addressed, his behavior escalates, which often leads to threats and aggressive behavior. This sets in motion a whole cascade of events:? Mobile Crisis has to be called, police are involved, an ambulance is sent, he?s taken to the ER, and may be admitted to a psych ward for several days.? This is not only traumatic for Josh and for us, but it all takes place at great expense to the state.? I can guarantee you that as community supports continue to crumble, a similar scenario will be playing out with increasing frequency for many of Gilead?s clients.

I know that you will be leaving here to go make some very difficult budget decisions. As a parent, a Gilead board member, and a member of this community, I?m asking you to do three things:

• Find your heart:?There is a children?s book called The Little Prince, in which a wise fox tells the Little Prince that ?It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.?? Our hearts tell us the truth.? When we look at any situation with our hearts, we know what needs to be done.?
• Find your courage:?Have the courage to stand up and say ?We are better than this.? We do not turn our backs on our most vulnerable constituents because they do not have a voice, or a powerful lobby.??
• Find a way:?Find a way to make our agencies whole.? Adequate funding creates jobs, it saves money, it saves lives, and it preserves our human dignity ? and Josh?s.? Find a way.? We can?t afford not to.?

Kupa X15 Windows 8 tablet gets production ready, now on sale starting at $1,100

When we first saw the Kupa UltraNote back at MobileCon 2012, the convertible Windows 8 slate had all the markings of a reference design: NFC, fingerprint scanner, LTE, digitizer and Intel Core i7 processor. But production realities change things some, and now that this particular tab is finally on sale, a few of its specs have been swapped out. Starting at $1,100 and rebadged as the X15, this 10.1-inch slate still reps a 1,920 x 1,200 IPS display, dual 1.3-megapixel front-facing / 5-megapixel rear cameras, support for WiFi a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, as well as up to 128GB SSD, but now comes in four configurations. Most notably, its allotment of DDR3 RAM's been doubled to 8GB across the board, although users seeking that previously announced Ivy Bridge Core i7 will have to opt for the high-end Ultra model as the lesser Elite, Pro and Lux builds all feature an Intel Core i5. LTE support seems to have been dropped altogether in favor of HSPA+ connectivity on the Ultra and Lux units. If you're interested in what Kupa's selling here, you'll need to contact the company directly -- there's no easy link on its site to simply purchase the X15 tablet outright.
