Project Of The Day | Clean Up This Office

even messy it's lovely, creative. Although I know the reality of trying to work with piles around.

Too funny! It does let you see what you've got, though! Good luck - I recommend LOTS of coffee first...and then a beer after :D

Thank you for showing me this! It makes me happy to see that i'm not the only one. My desk is such a mess, I cannot create anything! I look at it, feel ashamed and crawl behind the computer. There is one good thing about it and that is that my digi projects are almost finished!! LOL

Good luck today!

i can so relate to this! btw - those kits look intriguing;)

Thank you, makes me feel so much better to see your scrap space in a mess, thought I might be on my own there! I'm curious Ali - what is the kit you've got piled up on your floor?

I shook my head this morning as I passed by the craft room on my way to work and thought - well, the summer project of cleaning this place up will now be a fantastic autumn project ;)

And, did I spy possible scrapbook on the road kits for Italy all lined up? Hooray! Can't wait :) I just finished putting together a SBOTR album for Italy two weeks ago when I was on vacation. No worries, though - I had a lot of fun doing it and will use it anyway. I'm excited to work on another with you all - and who knows, maybe I'll need two. . .

I wish I had a craft room like that! Mine is currently my desk in a little corner of my bedroom.

I totally know how you feel. MIne is like that all the time. I am constantly organizing. At this point I have to wonder when that is going to stop and when the creating is going to happen?

Hi Ali - I hope it helps to know that I found your 'mess' super inspiring! I'm a neat freak normally but when it comes to crafting I find I'm much more creative when I can see all my stuff. It seems the same applies to seeing other people's stash... so thank you! :D

good luck with the cleaning. although I think I'd be quite at home in your craft room just as is!

Oh.My.Gosh, oh your Office pics are amazing but I think my OCD head would explode if I worked in there lol - love it though, what I wouldn't give to have a rummage in those lovely piles :)

Thank you for posting these pictures. It's like looking behind the curtain on the Wizard of Oz. I don't feel so bad about the mountain of mess in my studioffice now.

Hee! Have fun! My room looks very similar except that it's also the craft area for my two and four year old kiddos. I have to pick up their hurricane of paper madness before I can even start on mine. Fortunately, the room has doors and we have fun so it's all good. :)

Thank goodness i am not the only one! I can't even see my crafty desk ... seriously.

I would not know what to do without my piles! They are my life ;)
How do you keep little bity fingers out of them?? My 19 month old thinks my drawers are full of treasures for him! I have plenty of toys in the craft room for them (he has a 3 yr old brother!), but that still does not deter.
Thank you for keeping things real and honest. You are truly an inspiration.

ohhhhhh I feel so much better now...hahaha
I feel like I walked into a disaster zone when I go into my craft room - but at least I am not working in disaster alone...hehe

oh look at all that creative goodness!!! mess or no mess...LOVE it! and love all those Creative Escape goodies i see here and there! i had to get my hands on that Lost & Found pink sparkly damask paper too...LOVE! Words cannot even begin to express how blessed and lucky I feel to have taken your class and met you! Meeting you in the onsite store was truly one of my "bucket list" moments. You have influenced my heart and soul more than you will ever know. xoxo Happy Cleaning! :)

Good luck! It's one of my favorite things to do. I love making a mess and then cleaning it up, so I can make another mess. :)

i am doing the same thing right now--- it's an overwhelming project but so WONDERFUL when completed! good luck!!!

Muah to all that S.P.A.C.E.
