    My “office” could use some organizing since it is looking like a department store dressing room that nobody looks after. I’d like to not have to shut the door when we have guests over! :)

    Wow, I could use either one of these workshops. I definitely need some help decluttering at home (particularly the bedroom), but then once I’m all tidy and organized, a little direction for making and sticking to future goals would be fantastic!

    KEEP IT SIMPLE! Right now we have so many projects going on it’s hard to believe things will ever be together again! Hopefuly in the end with more storage and fresh floors instead of wall to wall stinky carpet, it will be much easier to keep things simple!

    My purse is probably the most complicated thing in my life. I’m pretty certain it weighs as much as toddler and I can never find anything in it when I need something.

    KEEP IT SIMPLE! My spare bedroom – which used to be my room before I got married. I have yet to move any clothes or furniture out and the bed serves as the staging area folding table. This room will soon need to be coverted to a nursery and I have yet to figure out how to tackle this one.

    Really, my whole house needs to be simplified. We’re about to move and one of my goals for our new place is to cut down on the junk and only keep stuff around that is meaningful or useful. This goes from the art on the walls to the stuff that fills our closets.

      Hmmm, I’d try clearing your cache or checking if there’s any ad-blocking or anti-virus software running (sometimes a day or two later they just pop back up after something like Norton decides to stop blocking them). Wish it was something we could fix on our end!

    Hi John and Sherry!

    I’m so excited to have won! I love your blog and always look forward to reading updates daily! You’ve inspired me to take on some extra projects around my condo(which is a rental) to make it feel more like home. And you’ve also opened my eyes to different places to find some spicy decor like west elm and 20×200! So thanks a lot!

    I’m currently working full time and in grad school. It’s hard to find time to keep up with work-work and school-work, let alone my condo and personal life! I’m super excited to take the Organizing 101 course over the next few months. Hopefully, this will give me the gumption to really stay on top of everything in 2012!

    Thanks again!
    Katie
