Summer Vacation Give Away


I'm on summer vacation or is that temporarily unemployed? Yipeee.

To help me celebrate I want to give to someone a book that I got at the thrift store, only the cover has been well loved, the rest has just been paged through.

It is a Victoria book from 1996, it's got several patterns in it. I leafed through it, and just know I won't get any of it done this summer, I've got to give my house a little TLC.

So will you please help me, leave me a comment and your favorite organizing tip, and on Sunday June 17th, I will pick a random name, and send you the book....That's all there is to it. Enjoy and please help me organize.
With time permitting, I will put together all of the organizing tips and make them one post here on my blog.

Ooooo, a Victoria book that I don't have!
Hmmm..... my favorite organizing tip is.....
If you are feeling overwhelmed, spend just 15 minutes in a room, and you'll be amazed what you can accomplish in that short time -- and it makes it seem more manageable that way.

My favorite organizing tip is to stash things in pretty decorative boxes...you can leave them out without everything looking like a mess.

My organising tip is to put back everything you took out to use when making your crafting projects as soon as you've finished the project.

Hi Mary, Hmmm a favorite organizng tip...oh, I use those clear plastic totes from say, Target or Walmart. You can put things in them to get out of the way but still see what you have in there at the same time. Just a hint, they are stacked in my garage!!! Have a wonderful weekend. Jamie

Hi Mary,
My favorite organizing tip is to not collect so much STUFF...and I find that impossible! So I'm really not organized.

Don't send me the book. I'd love to have it, but I'll just lose it among all my other stuff, LOL.

My favorite organizing tips is to keep all like things together. I used some casserole baskets from the dollar store and have all my punches in them, on cheap microwave carts at my scrapbook desk, so all I have to do is pull a basket out and voila-I have them and it's easy to put them back.

Mary:
I have 3 boxes; Keep, Maybe and
Give Away. It works and I feel so good having friends to send things to and my daughters come by and choose out of any of the 3.
I hope your charm swap is super and can't wait to see photos of the charms.
My best to you and your sister Linda!!!
