Day 23 - Dealing with Distractions
Day 24 – Organization
Day 25 -The High-Low Cycle
Day 26 – Laundry
In case you were wondering why I am posting so many days together it is because we don't technically have a home office and this series of days was devoted to that space so I've decided to use these days to work on my "craft" closet. Sounds simple enough, right?
These are the listed challenges:
Martha Challenge: Home Office – Wash inside of windows. Wash window treatments. Wash walls and dust ceilings.
Martha Challenge: Home Office – Steam-clean carpet or area rugs, wash hard -wood floors.
Martha Challenge: Home Office - Clean out your desk. Clean out and update files. Organize office supplies and drawers.
Martha Challenge: Home Office – Clean off and organize shelves. Shine and protect wood furniture.
Martha Challenge: Home Office – Carefully wash computer and printer (and any electronics) with a damp cloth. Use cotton swabs to clean out the crevices in keyboards. Clean screens with soft cloth.
but this closet has no windows, the floor had already been mopped when the bathroom was done, has no desk (the desk we have is in our bedroom and was cleaned during that challenge), the files were cleaned out and updated when we "closed out" Dec 2010 and started Jan 2011. So for the Martha challenges I skipped straight to the office supplies, drawers, shelves, computer, and general organization.
Ok, I started this project on a Thursday while my preschooler was as "Nanna Day" and the toddler and babe were taking their naps~ 10am
The Befores...I know- GROSS!
Yes...that is a floor under that pile of stuff I like to chunk in the closet behind the door.

I am hoping to finish these 2 scrapbooks by the end of summer, become disciplined at making more quality bows and paci clips to market, sale most of the sb tower, and find homes for all of the random pics so the hanging basket is obsolete.
warning: If you have ever made a single memory with me that happened to be photographed, you may have pictures coming your way, hehehe
