Little by Little

Well, today it was baby steps but still an accomplishment. I cleaned off the top of my chest. It was so cluttered before that it was hard to find the top! I found several little post-it notes that Bob had written and when I showed them to him, he had no idea what they meant! They were probably there for over a year I am guessing!

I can't do much more today because I am so busy getting ready for my luncheon for my book club in 2 days.  It is supposed to be a Christmas luncheon so I am trying to get the house decorated. I don't want to do too much because we will be one right after Christmas but I still want it to look festive. I am busy swapping out Thanksgiving decorations for Christmas decorations! At least we have the tree done!

A Little Progress

Today I concentrated on my desk top, which was horrific. I have a wooden desk top sorter box that was jus overflowing with papers. I sorted through that and moved to all of the papers on top of my lap top. It is amazing how easily I can discard stuff when I am in the mood. Many days I just wind up moving papers around without really dealing with them. I wish I could spend more time each day but I am also trying to get ready for Christmas!

Here I am again!

Well, here it is December two years after my last post and my spare room is in disarray again! Last week, I had a great conversation with my good friend Barb Carr who described in detail how she de-cluttered and re-organized her craft room.  I listened most attentively because I needed a fresh outlook and an incentive to tackle my room.  Barb works full-time ( and I don't) so she gave herself an hour or two each day and actually set a timer.  She was fully organized in one week! What an inspiration!

So I am posting pictures of the room as it is currently and will try Barb's technique. I plan to begin today and do at least an hour or two each day to get this room back in order!  Wish me luck!
