I am going to get married next September and are planning to have a somewhat traditional Mexican wedding with some minor differences. My fiancee and I plan to buy our wedding rings and have the “padrinos de anillos” present the rings at the alter. We were planning on asking his brother and sister-in-law. My godmother called my mom saying they way want to give me the wedding rings. I want to say no but my parents insist that it wouldn’t be right to say no because their feelings would be hurt. There’s another catch to the story, back in the 80’s my godfather “mishandled” some of my dad’s money. We think he stole it but since no one wants to bring it up its always been an issue. I don’t know if they really want to give me the rings because I am their goddaughter or because they want to “pay back” some of that money in a sense. I really don’t know what to do. I just want to be able to pick my own rings. I wouldn’t want to look at them knowing there’s that story behind it…
Another thing is that my godparents live in Mexico and I live in California….they would be the ones that are going to decide what they look like.

Having your scrapbooking supplies organised properly can mean the difference between motivation to finish your projects and total lack of interest because it takes too much time to find the materials you need to finish your project. There is a storage solution for just about any area you can think of so let’s have a look at our scrapbooking materials and how we can store them.
Photos, Newspaper Clippings
Photos and newspaper clippings are ruined easily and are affected by temperature, humidity and direct sunlight. As a general rule try to keep them in an area that is not subjected to extremes such as can be found in your ceiling space, damp cellars and on window ledges. Having said this, your precious collection can be stored cheaply in cardboard boxes, such as shoe boxes or in elaborate containers made specifically for photos. These stackable containers can be purchased in dimensions to match your photo sizes.
An alternative to the traditional hard copy of photos and clippings is the digital product, that can be stored easily on your hard drive, USB stick, DVD or CD. Do not overlook these options as they save space and your photos are easily searched and retrieved. The latter two methods lend themselves to be packaged in stackable containers or shelf-mounted storage units.
Paper and Cardstock
There are so many variations of paper and cardstock that some planning needs to be done before they are stored otherwise they become an absolute mess. Perhaps the easiest solution is to organise them by color. Where you have paper that has a number of colors on it, organise the paper by its dominant color. Where this is not possible, organising the sheets by themes can also work. You may have sheets that have a holiday feel about them or perhaps a wedding or Christmas theme - placing them all together makes it so much easier when you are theming your pages in your scrapbook.
If you have a large amount of paper or cardstock they can be stored in an inexpensive large rectangular clear bin as the colors can be seen easily. If you are doing the organisation by themes, then you will need to keep each theme in a separate container and labelled. For smaller amounts of paper you can manage them in a ring binder with plastic inserts or in an accordian file.
If you like to take your scrapbook paper with you on holidays or to crops, then there are some great paper totes on wheels that not only take paper but all your tools and goodies as well. Whilst these items are not cheap, they should be viewed more as an investment in your craft. Totes save valuable space and time (each item is organised) and are indispensable for the serious cropper.
Embellishments
Quite often these come in single use bags or jackets that can not be closed and reused easily. They by nature come in every possible design, size and color and can be difficult to store. The easiest way to store them is to categorise each embellishment. For instance brads and eyelets could go into a single container but with multiple compartments to separate the colors and sizes.
Wool, String, Ribbon, Braid
The best way to keep craft items that can be wound, is to wind them into figures of eight, and keep them in small containers such as tins. Having tins of identical sizes will enable them to be stacked when stored. You can leave a tail hanging outside the tin so the contents can be easily identified.
Stamps
Stamps can be acrylic or wooden. The acrylic type can be stored in insert sheets and kept in three ring binders. They can also be kept in multi-compartment containers. Both of these will allow you to easily see the contents plus allow easy access. For the wooden variety, again multi-compartment containers seem to work really well and you can stamp what is inside them on the lid or side of the container. Each container could be broken down into a theme to allow easy identification.
Stickers
Stickers are ruined if they are damaged or mistreated. To keep them perfect they need to be stored in binder refills and placed into three ring binders. Each binder can be a separate theme, and each page can separated into colors and designs. Because they are so visible it is easy to see how much you have of each sticker type allowing you to only order what you need and not purchase stickers you already have.
Leftovers
This is unavoidable if you crop your items to make them fit into a space on your scrapbook page. There is no need to throw away these smaller pieces as they can come in handy. To store them easily place them into three ring binder refill pages. They’re great to use for covering up mistakes.
In Closing
Don’t let disorganisation get the better of you. There are many types of fixed and portable storage solutions catering for all budgets. Don’t be afraid to invest wisely in such items as totes, they are well worth the money. Why not have a look at what you can do to improve your scrapbooking space, it’s your hobby, so enjoy it.

my boyfriend and i were shopping around for some nice, but cheap wedding rings and need some more ideas. i wear a size 3 1/2 and i was set on getting one from walmart, but they don’t make them smaller than a 5. (that’s what the lady at the counter said.)
it seems like everywhere else i checked they are so expensive. i don’t have much money to use for the rings right now, and i don’t even like rings that much anyway, so i don’t want to spend so much money on them that i will get buyers remorse…
we have a small budget and want to have more money for a honeymoon and trip to visit our families in Michigan.(we live in florida)
i tried ebay, but that is just a mess. there is too much on there to even find anything…
so…what worked for you?

I thought Elijah, main actor of Lord of the rings, was the same who played the rol of Spider Man, but…he was not! It was Tobey Maguire !!!!
Are they so alike for me to get confused?
Thanks god I checked in IMDB, but a little late…
Sorry I didn’t see the posters, I don’t live in the US.

Taken by a Texan asked:
So, I’m designing the ring tomorrow (with a jeweler that my family has used for years). I bought a wooden ring box online today (I don’t like the black velvet boxes you get on most occasions) and I had it inscribed with a quote from a song we want to be our wedding song. It’s going to say “What are you doing for the rest of forever?” when she opens it with the ring.
Also, I was thinking of proposing at home, once we get all dressed up, with a glass of wine or something, and then taking her out for a romantic dinner. Is that too cliche? I don’t want a lot of people around when I propose b/c I know I won’t be myself.
I’ve posted a few of these questions, but now it’s getting close!!!
