NEW YEARS ORGINAZATION

I LOVE ME SOME ORGINAZATION!

Sometimes I think I could go into business helping

organize people. I love my little consignment shoppe

called FANCY FINDINGS and when I go there I see

so much I could do to organize and increase their sales.

They laugh when I tell them this and say,

"Come anytime"

On the first of the year I run into this article

RULES OF BALANCED ORGANIZING

some I could have written myself, others

give me good ideas…

1) ONE IN, ONE OUT:

WHENEVER SOMETHING ENTERS YOUR HOME,

GIVE ANOTHER ITEM A BOOT.

HOBL has that down packed. If he buys

a new shirt, one is going out.

2) THOUGH SHALT NOT TRANSFER CLUTTER

Don't bury the den to save the dining room.

I hate clutter. I will clean a drawer, straighten

up constantly to keep clutter gone.

3) DOUBLES ARE TROUBLES

You don't need two can openers or 5 pairs

of tweezers. Toss duplicates.

I can check this off my list, unless

it's one for upstairs, one for downstairs,

no duplicates allowed.

4) KEEP IT WHERE YOU USE IT

Stash the toner with the printer, etc.

Another check off my list, done.

5) HAVE A PLACE FOR NOTHING

Create one empty cabinet, shelf or drawer

in each room. it's backup for when the balance tips.

Going to do this as I have the space but I 

don't think it will be needed. Instead,

want to make a cabinet to put gifts I buy

on sale for those unexpected parties, etc.

I have a wrapping station in my laundry room for 

all my wrapping papers, tape, ribbons, cards,

it is one of the spaces I am most proud of 

so going to put that gift cabinet in there somewhere.

6) A TO Z.

FIX ONE SPOT START TO- FINISH RATHER

THAN JUMPING AROUND FROM MESS 

TO MESS.

Hoping these help you in the new year for

organizing. The only room that is never 

always organized is my scrap room as it should

be. Creation is being made there. If it is clean,

then I am not creating and that is not good.

HaPPY ORGANIZING!
