I'm getting organized! I like to think I am organized. My husband, family and my book keeper would tell you different. I keep everything, and I mean every single receipt, piece of paper in a big 'ol box and hand it off to my book keeper who has to try her best figuring it all out....and then the phone calls and emails come asking what is what. I don't like paperwork. I rather paint, quilt, sew or be elsewhere. Paperwork does not excite me one little bit.
And then my husband steps in! My husband gets me. He sees my pained face every time I have to staple receipts to an invoice. Yes, it is an easy thing to do, but I rather let them pile up....out of order...and then my chaos begins. So....while visiting my parents, he saw my mother scan her receipts and bills into NeatDesk. He was intrigued and I got pulled into the room to watch. (I wanted to pull my hair out). Mom has the smaller one and it works like a charm. He told me we were getting one. NO!!! Buy me fabric, paints or a pretty something to wear, but NOT an organizational machine!!! Reluctantly, I said okay, thinking he would be doing it.
The one my mom has:
OK...I adore it! Yes, you heard me right. I am a scanning fool....who woulda thought? I just load all the papers, the thingamajig scans multiple papers (50) at one time, back and front and the software is intuitive. I do nothing. It has a category and the name, the purchase, the sales tax AND the total are all there. Halleluiah!!!! It is the best thing I have ever owned in the business paperwork category. It does it all for me and I can find anything now. I even scan medical records, business cards, birth certificates and yes!!!!....recipes too.
Check it out, you will not be sorry.....promise!
The one we got:
Now for fun stuff! I took Mickey Depre's Pieced Hexies class on Craftsy. Lecturing and teaching workshops and writing books is my career....but quilting is also my hobby. I Hex! Yes, I hex as a way to relax and this is the class that got my attention. I still get to piece very super simple bloacks together and then I get to do some simple hexie handwork while relaxing, watching tv to take on the road with me. Mickey is a great teacher. Patient, loads of knowledge and sharing her super fun way to twist and turn the pieced hexies to create multitudes of different designs to stitch together. I am addictive. What's happening to me? NeatDesk and Pieced Hexies....new hobbies for me! :-)
If you are looking for something new, different and in the need for a legal addiction....go check out Mickey's class!
Pieced Hexies can be purchased at 33% off right now!

You pushed me over the edge.. of the desk.. I am going to get the neatDesk.. I have been on the fence about it for so long.. no longer.. here I go! :)
Congrats on the new book Linda! I'll be sure to keep my eyes open for it! I also like that you are offering your pattern as a pdf, I'm a big fan of downloadable patterns that i can carry with me on my iPad! I tend to lose paper patterns but i never lose my ipad... well, almost never lose it anyway!
OMG I am blown away! Congratulations on your publication, and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy -- the colors and designs just stunned me, what an inspiration!
It looks like finishing up the book has made a world of difference in your life!
So now I need to get the book Morna was talking about AND look into this NeatDesk thing?
Because one thing is becoming increasingly apparent to me: I NEED TO GET ORGANIZED.
I don't like being a grown up!
Waited with bated breath for the release of your book, missy!
Maddie, With hand on heart, this Neatdesk is a life saver to me! :-)
Let me know how it works for you.
Elizabeth, thanks for the comments about offering PDF's. I still need to get the paper patterns up on my website but wanted to get the PDF's up since people were asking for them!
Now don't be losing you Ipad! :-)
Victoria, thank you so much for your nice comments!Made my day!
Lisa.....I fight the organizing paperwork thing too! Neatdesk made a world of difference for me. You should get one. I didn't think I wanted to know where every nickle went, but now I am obsessed with tracking. And....you will get your book copy before everyone....I get sent a few to give to people to helped out and I would say my longarmers were more than help....they were my life savers!!! :-)
