Simply Shoeboxes on Facebook

Because of time restraints I am still not able to post new content here on Simply Shoeboxes.  I have blogged here since the beginning of 2012 and have over 250 posts.  I have decided to begin sharing some of my old content on the Simply Shoe Boxes Facebook page.  So if you have not "liked" the page yet or clicked to follow or signed up to get notifications, be sure to do that now and you will have a front seat view to a variety of posts about shoe box packing--some you may have seen, many you probably missed.

Here is what you can expect:

• Monday Memories -- reminiscing of my shoebox packing from the past

Hopefully someday this fall I can begin posting new material, until then:  Happy Packing!

I've Joined Pinterest to Organize My Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Links

I had well over 100 sites bookmarked that I wanted to visit again for packing Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes.  From blogs about Operation Christmas Child to crochet patterns to free printables.  I knew if I wanted to ever be able to find what I wanted to do in an efficient manner I needed to get organized.  So I decided I'd try Pinterest.  I love it!

I am very visual, so having an image of the project right there in front of me I can just click on it and find my way to the instructions.  And because they offer the ability to sort by numerous "boards" I am able to "file" away the projects or information by topic.

So I joined on Friday and was sick all weekend and Monday, but when I had the strength to be on the computer at all I turned my bookmarks into pins--it was so simple it was mindless, which was great because with my head feeling like it would explode my  mind was not too with it.  I have made 16 boards and have pinned 188 items already--all to do with filling shoe boxes (or organizing my stuff I use).

I'd love to have you stop by my Simply Shoeboxes Pinterest board see what I've pinned--maybe you'll find some inspiration.

I know I have a lot to learn about Pinterest, but so far I am enjoying it while organizing my Operation Christmas Child shoebox ideas.  Are you on Pinterest?  Do you enjoy it?  Do you find it helpful?
