Organizing for 2011

Yesterday I worked on an installation for a retail frozen yogurt and coffee shop in Dahlonega, GA called Yummy Yogurt. It is going to be an amazing place and is coming together beautifully. There are, of course, a few snafu's so know that when you are working on projects we ALL have them. Work through it or get help and it will all come together. When the project is finished I will post pictures so be watching for them!

It appears I am behind many others in my personal organizing for the new year. I am beginning to get that amazing feeling of relief that comes from purging and cleaning (and I will get it done eventually!) Luckily when I get through I have many organizing systems in place already so it is pretty easy to get them back up and running. If you are like me and slow to get started, no worries it is still waiting for you!!! I found a great article to help you stay organized with your organizing.

Happy 2011.....

Ok so I am off to a slow start but that happens sometimes to all of us....right??? Yesterday I walked in with a chair to put in my space at Queen of Hearts and it was snatched out of my hands and purchased. I got a chance to chat with the very nice woman who purchased the chair, she is redoing a room while her husband is out of town....love that!! We talked about her ideas and she was so excited it made my day!! Then today I got the Christmas decorations put away....I feel like I am on a roll. I have made a decision to do some things different right now, they could be large or small things but it feels so renewing to step outside of the "usual." One of those things which I have been working on is reducing chemicals in the house. I found a great write up on some easy ideas I want to share with you. http://www.thisdishisvegetarian.com/2011/01/kick-chemicals-to-curb-with-these.html Another of those things I am going to change is being a more regular blogger so I hope you enjoy my thoughts, ideas, and general rants. Please let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions. Happy 2011 to you all! Michelle
