Project Of The Day | Clean Up This Office

*happy sigh* I'm not alone.... ;)

such a happy space ~ love the piles for organising and it has such a creative vibe. a clear up and a refreshing start ~ such a 1st September feeling ~ don't you just love this time of the year?

your piles look so much more interesting than mine.

Good luck! We're planning to put our apartment on the market and I face a similar daunting task of getting everything tidy.

Thanks for sharing a REAL slice of life....my office looks like this on most days. Although my kids are old enough not to step on things, I now have 4 month old puppy who is like a toddler and thinks everything is his toy for chewing...so I spent yesterday clearing piles off the floor! Guess we will be cleaning together!
Very cool looking kits - I read in above comments they are for an event in Italy ~ how fun! Enjoy

I know this is going to sound incredibly wrong but I love seeing your piles because it makes me feel SO much better about mine, LOL

Great post - love to see other creative spaces...good Luck!! Doesn't it feel great to go through and organize. i love the process when I can reflect on how cathartic it can be. Those kits look very interesting...have fun in that class too. Italy is a place I want to visit one day soon. all the best Ali and thanks for sharing your process of storytelling with all of us.

Ali, thank you for posting this. I don't feel so bad now because my scraproom looks like that. Hurricane Irene just went through our area and as I was looking at the room I thought if anyone saw my scraproom they would think we were hit by the hurricane - so I better get busy cleaning it up.

I always pictured your office as neat and clean based on the way your scrapbook layouts are. Glad to see you are just like most of us. You must receive a lot of products from companies to test and promote or you have an addiction to scrapbook products. :P

I'm VERY happy to see that there are so many of us who have messes.....no matter how hard I work to put new things away and clean up after each event. I too have to clean my space again since I walk by the door (to my 10x10 scrap/office area) now and think I can't do anything in this mess! So, I close the door and keep walking. It doesn't help that I live in FL, am single, work 40plus hours and on weekends I have to do household chores, mow the lawn (push mower - need the exercise), clean the pool and spend time with my 32 year old son who has Down syndrome and other family members we can fit in. Oh! and my oldest grandson plays football on Saturday's! I spend most of my time taking pictures and saving them.
Don't know how everyone finds time to scrap sometimes........any secrets? (I'm usually too tired after work then cooking and cleaning.)

Thank you for sharing that! Would love to see the after or even the in process pictures!

Next inspire us with an after picture :) (I'm happy I don't have the only mess in town, but that still doesn't get mine organized :)

With this post you're collecting a million plus points for all real women which are working and having kids.

It looks REAL and not like Miss Superwoman :-)

I agree with Molly.

Big job.
Can we see the after picture?
Tomorrow?
:)

I agree. Looking at this makes me feel a whole lot better about the room that I call a disaster. I guess "disaster" is a relative word.

WOW--just looked at the pics of your room and I don't feel so bad. I plan to show these pics to my husband. he thinks my craft room should always be neat. Now I know even the best have rooms that get "messed up". I tell my husband it is "organized confusion". I know where everything is and certain piles mean I am working on a special project. Love that you posted them

I love seeing your space!!!! Mess and all, it looks just like mine!!! hee hee

I feel so much better now, thanks for sharing
