Simplify

In the AEzine, Ali talks about picking a word and reflecting on that word for a whole year...wow...one word for a whole year. I think that would get boring, don't you? On the Katie the Scrapbook Lady blog she talks about a word a month. I'm going to follow Katie and go for one a month. I chose the word simplify because everything seems to be hectic and chaotic around here. Especially this house! I feel like it is all coming in on me...we need to "simplify" the house. I started today...I reorganized my scrapping room. I even threw stuff out...gasp...and there are a few things to be donated and other stuff to go on ebay if I cannot find a good home for them. It felt GREAT getting that done today...now I need to carry this on to the rest of the house! Tomorrow I am going to start in a small section of the bedroom and work from there...I am not expecting it to be done tomorrow but in time my simplification process will be complete. So for today "simplify" means clean and uncluttered.

Family Sampler Update

By
I was hoping to get more done on this this past week but another trip to the ER on Wednesday night did not leave much time for stitching.  I was very dehydrated and my potassium was low and I found out that I have a UTI.  I was really surprised about the UTI because I did not have the normal symptoms.  The antibiotic has really been helping.  I was not feeling well and just laying on the couch but then I got dizzy and fell so Jason had to come home from work and take me to the ER.  Yesterday was the first that I really spent any time stitching but I did get a lot done. 
I switched to my HAED Nature’s Mourning for this week.  So far today I have gotten a lot done.  Hopefully this week I will stay healthy and want to cross stitch.
Enjoy your week!
Happy Stitching!!

How I Use Evernote for My Genealogy.

NOTE: 2 Feb 2014 -- Link updated to shared notebook

Today I did a Google+ hangout on air about Evernote for Genealogy.   Once I watched the video I saw that I was not a very good cameraman!

Hopefully this will clear up any questions you may have.





How I use Evernote for my genealogy.

I use Evernote to store everything including my genealogy research.
You want to use Evernote in a way that makes sense to you.  Tags, notebooks, no tags or no notebooks; do whatever works the best for you.
Notebooks (the blue box)
Notebooks are sorted alphabetically so if there are notebooks you want at the top of your list you can use ! or @ or ~ in front of your notebook title.  In my image, for example, I have my INBOX notebook with an ! in front to keep this notebook at the top of the list.  I use a ~ to keep my GENEALOGY notebook stacks together.  I have an ARCHIVE notebook and in front of that I put an x to keep it at the bottom of …
