paper sorting

It took 3 days off & on to sort thru my new box of patterned paper. I sort it by size & color.I have them sorted by floral,geometric etc in color families. While I was @ it,I mended my 12x12 box w/glue & duct tape. I reorganized the paper in there before I added the new paper. Now I have Vellum paper up front, my Easter & spring next so I won't forget to use it,floral,geometric ,western,patriotic paper @ the back of the box. I found some paper I used on my new project that had gotten buried in my stash.
I dumped out my box of colored card stock on the table. It had been in a box laying flat. I had it organized but I hate rummaging thru it looking for a size I wanted.I have 2 JoAnn C-mas card boxes that now have mat sized pieces in it. I have it in color order, white .red,orange ,yellow pink,green,blue,brown grey & black, This paid off Fri. while s/booking. All I had to do was just flip to the color I wanted for a mat. My L/O's worked up so quick this way.
The problem is w/the bigger pieces.I used a tall priority mail box for these. the tall skinny pieces are in color bundles w/a rubber band around it. I was afraid if I just put the bigger pieces in loose even in color families I still have a mess finding them I 1st started using the big black clamps w/ 1 color family. I ran out of them. I tried using smaller paper clips since I out of the bigger paper clips. I noticed later when I was thru the box,the paper clips were coming off.
I have ATC size pieces sorted out & put in my drawers w/rubber bands. Some of them are going to a Swap-bot buddy
I have a flat box on the floor w/odd sizes of patterned paper sort by sizes.

4 candle pours this week.

I poured candles,Wed. being my last day. I won't be making candles a/more. I'm on 0-2,Allen had to melt the big kettle of wax. It has to be watched & melted on low heat so wax doesn't catch on fire. He also had to spray the candle release into the molds o/side for me since it's smell bothers me. I don't have the patience or the fine dexitry to thread the wicks into the molds or to set up the votive molds(6 in a set.) I lost the Midas touch,my candles had pit marks on them which means I didn't get the melting temp. right
I made 3 container,12 molded & 24 votive candles. I also made green & red candle chunks to put into 1 pour of my candles.. I whipped some wax for 2 of the container candles. I made Laura a ice cream float using a Braums mug. She used to work there in H.S. It has a straw in it& the whipped wax looks like whipped cream on top.
Last night I got out the wax addtive for paints. I have 4 candles I poured clear for this purpose .
One has red & blue stripes,1 side left white,for July themed candle.Another multi-sided one has pink,purple blue& green colors w/ polka dots later added. The round pillar one I painted bright green. I later put a floral sticker border on it. I found some animated bug stickers on it. These will be fun for spring decorating in my L.rm. for small places. The last one I had some gold floral o/line stickers I put on Modge Podge to make sure they stay on. I added Diamond Stickles to the floral centers & a l/over blue jewel on a blossom.
All of my stuff is now packed up & ready to put up for sale. I want to sell it as a bundle,3 boxes of items. I need the money for supplies for my Iraq card project.
