Okay -- I really don't like the slang word "rocks," but it was honestly the first word that popped in my head. I carried 5 boxes of books into this store the other day, and he bought 4 boxes of them from me in return for store credit. No, I don't really need MORE books, but it was so much easier than trying to sell them myself. The owner is super friendly too! http://www.bookexchangenorfolk.com/

I have added a list of my favorite graphic organizer websites. Remember, my favorite links can be found on the left-hand column of my blog. I will be adding more.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've added a new category of links on the left-hand side of my blog. If you've noticed, I have other favorite sites grouped by type. You'll also now find "Free Literature Guides" with all of my favorite links.

States & Capitals Sequence I bought it at Target.

The other day, I was organizing my paper (which I keep in resealable bags from http://www.clearbags.com/ ), and I found some pictures and papers I had chosen for the pictures in one of these bags. I had forgotten to scrapbook these with the last batch of scrapping I did months ago. So, tonight I decided to just do it! It's very simple, but I'm all about simple scrapbooking these days.

Okay, so I bought my first Stampin Up! wheel (last weekend -- used), and I really didn't want to buy ink cartridges in so many different colors. I remembered reading somwhere that you can unmount them from the wheel. Here's a tutorial on it: http://inkydinkydoo.blogspot.com/2006/11/unmounting-your-wheels-tutorial.html It was so easy! It takes up so much less room now as well. Now, I can just temporarily mount to my acrylic block and go. I'm also considering unmounting my Stampin Up! stamps because I have very little storage space but too many stamps. Here is a great video tutorial to help with this: http://www.truveo.com/Ep190-Unmounting-Stampin-Up-Stamps/id/708508043
