Today is my birthday! So not sure how much "work" I will actually do today but I was thinking about going to some stores and getting inspiration from the organizational items. I LOVE boxes and bins and organizers of all sort. I am a dork. This is my Virgo side for sure. The want and need to be organized shows from my Virgo traits but the Leo in me supersedes that all. :) Time for house of Virgo to emerge.
I was reading my horoscope fun facts about Virgos and it said "They are exceptionally methodical and do well in jobs that require organization. If there's anything out of order, set a Virgo to the task!" I had to laugh. Because it is so true - I do love jobs where I can take a mess and make it clean. It is just too funny how I can't do that with my own stuff. That is going to change I tell ya!
I was talking to my friend Georgeann (aka George) last night and she had an excellent idea. Well several of them actually. Along with the challenges I give myself to get out from under the pile, I should give my followers a challenge as well. I loved that idea so I am going to use it. And she suggested that I ask my followers (all 2 or 3 of you) what you need help with. I am great with coming up with ideas and would love to help my fellow clutter bugs.
So with that said - here is Week 1 Challenge to my followers: Find an area in your house that needs some de-cluttering help. Pull 20 things from this pile and discard them. Either donate them or sell them or trash them. Tell me all about it too...I want to hear about your successes too.
If you have questions about particular ways to organize something let me know and I will post the question and answer so everyone can benefit and contribute ideas they may have. You can post it on here or email me at mcbates@okstate.edu. I look forward to hearing from you all!
As for my challenge this week: I am going to continue working on the clothes, both mine and my son's and donating everything we don't need to the DVIS shelter here in Tulsa. I will take pictures of my progress from HUGE MESS to hopefully bags of clothes that will benefit someone else.
If I get done with all of that before end of week (wait, there is no "if" - it will get done) I will start to work on putting together some bookcases I bought months ago for my craft room. After I get those put together and my work tables together, I can start organizing my craft room! That will be fun!
Enjoy the beautiful day, wherever you are and come back tomorrow for more saga from my life under the pile.
