I’ve been neglectful. Well, really only of the blog… I’ve been totally rocking it in life and at work! Mike, Phoebe and I went camping this weekend with his friends and their two insanely smart kids, while Gus went to play with his friends at Camp Bow Wow (he was on his best behavior there, unlike last time!). It was so nice to have some time to de-stress, which is exactly what I did amongst all the corn. Seriously, there was corn for miles!
And because I’ve been so busy this week at my new job, I’ve missed blogging. So I’m jumping in with both feet this weekend to tackle a huge organization project… an org-travaganza, if you will. But first, let me introduce you to the project at hand. My craft room/closet. My Achilles heel…
Please don’t judge me on the sheer craziness happening in this room. I figured that cleaning before taking pictures and a video would constitute cheating. So I snapped the room as/is. Since I’ve kept this shame of mine hidden for so long, you might only recognize the dresser. If you can’t watch the video above, just take a quick gander at the train wreck in picture form below:
What we have here is a catch-all room. As in, anything that looks like it could be mine and doesn’t have a home just gets thrown in. But it never gets viewed by friends, since it’s upstairs and the door is always kept closed. So why bother fixing it up? Well, it’s reached the point where it’s making me absolutely crazy. I have no real designated place in the house to do schoolwork, craft/sewing projects, or to just get ready for the day. And since we’ll be staying in the good ol’ Greater Akron area for the long weekend, now seems like the perfect time to get started!
I will update you this weekend on everything that goes down. Whether I post 5 times a day, 1 time a day, or only once this weekend is still to be determined… I predict it’ll be based on how crazy this project ends up making me. But either way, the big reveal will be on Monday, and I personally cannot wait to see how it’s going to turn out!
Anyone out there tackling organization projects this weekend? I want to see some pics (bonus points if your “before” pictures are even more disorganized than mine!)!
Xo, Laura
