Don't get me wrong, I'm not always organized. But it took me 5 years to get things "decrapified" and on to neater things. It even helps my students!ChicBijouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15153653983000066324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-74397426778112268652010-01-26T13:30:09.735-05:002010-01-26T13:30:09.735-05:00decrapification . . . brilliant !

It definitely denotes that we don't need to take the clutter (or the process) so seriously. Thanks for sharing the word...and the ice cube trick.

We just use it as a place to throw all our papers and mail that need to be dealt with (but not immediately). We started de-cluttering it last weekend actually, and we still have a ways to go, but it's looking better. I'm looking forward to actually being able to utilize it without cringing at the mess!Amanda @ Little House on the Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14831185629452575774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-69054297320367703402010-01-17T08:27:20.756-05:002010-01-17T08:27:20.756-05:00Thanx for all the great ideas and inspiration, but...Thanx for all the great ideas and inspiration, but especially for the ice on the carpet idea - we just moved and I really was frustrated with it.

Also, I have a tip for you - instead of saving BUB's stuff, take a digital picture of it. I have three kids and the paper is OUT OF CONTROL in our house. Of course I still save my favorites, but it has definitely helped keep the kid's projects down to a minimum.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14083343448931474981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-8317962476209654302010-01-16T20:55:43.119-05:002010-01-16T20:55:43.119-05:00So I read this post a couple of days ago via cell ...So I read this post a couple of days ago via cell phone (which meant no pictures) and I was completely inspired. The addition of your pictures make it that much more real/funny/inspiring. You have a beautiful home. I think I have been reading your blog for a year now.
