My MOM ROCKS!!!

Just hafta tell you that! She was here for 2 days, and we accomplished so much!! Her main goal was to organize and purge my laundry area, and maybe move into our office/ exercise room! But we did sooo much more. Her intentions were to do everything, but I couldn't let her do everything. So we worked together, she did the majority of organizing and moving things around, I cleaned my washer and dryer area and organized the shelves beside them, and vacuumed, and helped throw things away and worked on laundry all day. We came out of there with I think 6 garbage bags full. AND we moved the exercise equipment out of the office and made the office area my new stamp room!!! I have a room! It might not be all mine, half hubby's and his computer junk, but it is a room, and it has a door!! Now all I need is a locking door knob, and it will be all good! I want to go to Michaels tonight and Staples to look for a better paper storage system. I need one for my 12x12 paper and for my 81/2x11 stuff! I have grown out of my other storage compartment!

AND she also painted my entry way and stairwell!!! No more bright yellow, it is now a neutral gray, that looks different in different lighting, same colour as my living room and hallways! LOVE it!!

The basement looks amazing and has so much room now that it is organized and my stamp area is outta there!!! The whole reason we bought this house was the openness of the basement! The kids were playing football down there yesterday!

I will take pictures and share sometime, when my life settles down a bit!!

I still think you should send her to me!
Glad you got more accomplished than hoped for! It must feel amazing!

Ohhh - sounds heavenly! You probably feel like a weight has been lifted! I am SOOO bogged down & consumed by clutter! I am actually kind of an organized person, I like labels and baskets and orderly things - I just can't GET there! Not enough hours in a day & maybe a bit of procrastination in there too :(

GOOD FOR YOU!
