Day five of the Spring Fling and it’s time to get crafty … and organize the office area (or your craft room).
Oh, you crafters. I appreciate your talents and gifts deeply. But your natural desire to stash and hoard has made it so you can barely pull out a project and enjoy your creativity.
And those of us with offices. How is it that we can crush the business world by day, but fear a giant pile of papers crashing down on us at night?
It’s time for both groups to reclaim our creative space!
It Gets Better: Organize the Office or Craft Area
While my office is not what I want it to be, I can function in there (and that’s a lot more than I could say ten years ago).
My mom, who is an amazing quilter, has taken her decluttering to a new level. She refuses to start a new project until she has completed five she already has. I’m so proud of her and the steps she’s taking to become Clutter Free.
Instructions:
- Set up your three boxes/totes and two bags.
- Start with one area at a time.
For offices and craft rooms, the questions are: “Will I use this?” and “If I want this, where would I look for it?”
Bonus:
Want to stay Clutter Free when it comes to projects? Commit to finishing five current projects before starting anything new.
Share Your Fling
After you fling, either tell us about it or share a picture in the comments. Remember, each day (at the end of the Fling) there will be one winner, randomly drawn from the comments, who will receive a copy of The Cure for the Perfect Life from Kathi Lipp and Cheri Gregory. So share below and tell us about your fling.
Aye, yi, yi… so this is the room to which I move my piles of papers from the kitchen after I get tired of moving them back and forth from the table to the counter so we can eat. A lot of unmade decisions. I’ve made it through one stack and am determining not to add anymore. This is also where I’ve been throwing things, ahem, I mean, sorting things, for baby books, which **very deep sigh** I’m on baby number four and my oldest is 11. No guilt there — ha, ha. I’d love to hear some wisdom on that one…
I am going through my file drawers today…there’s alot of shredding going on!!
Congratulations Shannon! You are the winner of today’s giveaway! I will email you for your mailing address. Thank you for participating and good luck with your Spring Fling!
