Conquering the Final Frontiers

We did it. The dirty task is finally done. WE HAVE CLEANED UP MY CRAFT ROOM!!!! Not an easy task, not pretty, or done perfectly, but after spending 6 or 7 hours in there, it is good enough for me! It is actually a huge relief to have it done. It is nice to know where to find things that I need to use. I bought a 8 ft long table at DI which made it easier to get things put away and get it finished. I was down there for about 3 hours or so, and I hit my what do I do next wall. I do fine until I get to the point where I have to find homes for things that don't have a home. I asked Kent to come help me. He is so patient. He has organized my JUNK so many times, and he was still kind to me about it. He made me find placed for everything, and helped me finish that job. HOORAY! He is just as excited as I am. He never cared before, but now that he is the "Launderer" he was having to look at it all that time when he was doing the wash. So he is just as happy as I am that it is done. AHHH! Now the task is to keep it that way. Not an easy thing for me, it seems. People can change, right? Here's to a clean craft room!







We also finished cleaning the office as well. Mom wanted to see the finished product. So here you go. With both of these, I think it will be years before they are actually REALLY finished, but I guess I mean cleaned up, kind of organized, and functional.

Hey, that looks familiar! Thanks Maria and Kent for hosting us. I finished a few loads in your laundry room and had a pile of clothes ready to go, um..., I guess I needed Kent to organize. Thanks again for hosting such a fun visit. -Jason, Joy

Don't you just love the feeling after organizing a mess? I love it, but you're right about keeping it organized. I'm usually good for a week or so, then I start setting papers on tables, etc. Good luck!

The rooms look awesome! Having rooms organized like that make me think I can conquer anything.
