Remains Of The Day is the antidote for all of those paper scraps that keep multiplying in your favorite scrap box and clogging up your artistic super highway. In this process AND project oriented class we’ll be constructing a shabby but sturdy journal (like this one) using all of that paper you’ve been hoarding. Ordinary life never looked better than seen through the pages of this stitched up journal of scraps.

As my 'One little word' this year is organise I chose to organise my wardrobe - once I'd started I found I wanted to organise the whole bedroom and I then moved on to another etc. So my tip it just set yourself a small job and see how it grows. The hardest part is getting started so pick a small job that is not too daunting and once complete it will inspire you to do more. honest! If that fails - loud boppy music can help get you motivated.
So love the class - it would be a great start to organising my ever growing scraps.

My spring cleaning tip is to put on some good music and dance while you clean! Don't make it boring...

For me, I make sure to keep my recycling bins going year round. I like to change over my decor from winter to Spring in little ways. Open up the windows let the fresh air in. This whole year for me is about clearing out the clutter. I have boxes set aside for Goodwill and those antiques that I need to put on consignment. Plus a wedding to get ready for at my house. I don't know that I have tips, but more of a lifelong goal to simplify.

I love scrapbooking but could never find the time to really get going and now that I blog and do the bookkeeping for my boyfriend's business, I doubt that I'd keep it up.
What would be fun is to turn some of my blog posts into a scrapbooking page weekly. I wish I still had Elements (I upgraded to W7 and my E7 didn't upgrade with me).
If you have any suggestions on sites that will allow me to create a scrapbooking page for my blog, I'm all ears! Thanks

I like to break down my spring cleaning into small bits. I take 15-20 minutes a day and tackle a job. It doesn't seem so overwhelming by doing it that way. Also, I use Mrs. Meyers cleaning products - makes the house smell soooo refreshing!

Turn the tv off. Leaving the tv on while I clean gets me sidetracked. So I put my shoes on, turn the tv off and hit the carept running and start my spring cleaning
!

I keep a perpetual "give away" bag right next to my driver side door in the garage. Every single time I come across something my kids won't wear anymore, or it's an item I keep moving around, but not using...it goes in the bag.
Then every month when the "donation truck organizations" call, out the bags go.

I use a timer to get me moving and motivated. The idea comes from Flylady's website which I have gratefully followed off and on for many years!

Spring is a great time to remove clutter or donate stuff we collected over the winter months. Old magazines, old clothes (donate what don't fit or don't use anymore). I make a pile of these items by the door for donation pick-up/drop-off. My biggest problem is the kids' papers from school.

Looks like a fun class! I love to open up all the windows and air out the house after a long winter. Thank you for the offer.

My favorite tip is: start early!! It is still too cold in MN to tackle windows and other biggies. But we're cleaning our porch this weekend, and repainting & purging in the kitchen over the past two weekends. (yay!) Once our too-short spring arrives, we want to be ready to those last big chores done & get outside as quickly as possible.
Happy (almost) spring!

I like to go through my clothes and some of my belongings and donate it to goodwill every spring. Makes me feel lighter and helps me declutter.

My best tip would be to call "Molly Maid"! hee hee I always do one room at a time. Start at the top, dusting walls, ceiling fans/lights, window treatments and work your way down.

With five people in the household, things multiply quickly. Luckily there are two organizations that deliver bags and then pick them up outside my door for charity. Whenever I receive one, we go around the house picking up things we no longer need and donate it.

My spring cleaning tip? Taking the vacuum with the wand attachment and going around all the corners of the ceiling. I know - exciting isn't it. I'm no Martha... :P
