Creatively Organized Spaces
This week’s FUN DIY Organizing project that may (or may not) help you stay organized.
Recycled Handlebar Bike Rack! Instructions HERE.
These may not always be the most practical projects but that’s not the point here, this is about FUN folks, it’s FRIDAY!
For the past month, maybe 6 weeks even, I’ve had this very strong desire to purge things. I’ve come to recognize this “Great Purge Urge” and I seize the opportunity when it strikes!
Sometimes this urge just comes out of the blue, maybe it’s an astrological event or some other outside influence I’m unaware of but I don’t generally care why it’s happening.
What I know from experience is that getting started, making quick choices and continuing eagerly creates momentum.
This type of action and the momentum generated can be LIFE CHANGING! It’s for this exact reason that I work the way I do, in 3 hr (or longer) time slots and with appointments scheduled frequently (multiple days in a week or month).
Things get DONE, progress happens quickly, SPACE EMERGES where there was none.
I know I’ve got the bug, do you? If it strikes and you would like some help, get in touch and let’s schedule some time so I can help you to get started!
I’m testing out a few new ideas for the blog and I love a good DIY project. I’m always coming across great stuff on Pinterest and various blogs but I rarely share them. Today I couldn’t resist sharing a couple really FUN DIY organizing projects that may (or may not) help you stay organized. These may not be the most practical projects but that’s not the point here, this is about FUN folks, it’s FRIDAY!
Check out this ADVENTURE TRUCK! This is totally great and even if you didn’t keep a bed in the back of your truck you could adapt this idea for tool storage or whatever! There are complete instructions for this project over at Handimania.
And one more for you today…because I know I am constantly looking for a good place to store my pets!
The Coffee Table Pet Bed is the perfect place! Instructions HERE.
I’d would be lying if I said I love Christmas. I don’t, I didn’t grow up with it, it’s not a tradition I feel strongly connected to for family, cultural or spiritual reasons. I could easily skip MOST of Christmas and be quite content but I play along…at least a little.
Things I LOVE about the season are expressions of gratitude, thoughtful generosity, great food, beautiful festive decorations and the time spent with family and friends.
Here’s my Un-Gift Guide, things I could do without this holiday season. Maybe you can too?
When gifting, please consider giving Experiences such as gift certificates for services at favorite restaurants, spas, classes and consumables like food, candles, beverages and personal care products such as lotions, soaps and perfumes. This probably means you need to know the person you are giving the experience to well enough to know what they like. If you’re not sure, include a gift receipt too.
Why not just ask what people want? I’m not sure why or when this became taboo but I think it’s much more generous to give someone something someone will love than to give someone clutter.
PS…I’m not Scrooge!
