A Project a Week

I have been trying to be ambitious in getting some projects done around the house, but still fell short, mostly because of time. So, I have decided that if I blog it, I will have to get a project done a week. There have been many things I've wanted to get done, or organized throughout my house. One, being clear off my computer desk. Today it got done!!!!!!! I don't know why I didn't get a before and after picture, but it sure looks good (to me anyway). I put books that didn't belong elsewhere (another one of my projects, organize book shelf). My stacks of color copy paper I put away in a cupboard close by (and organized that as well). I threw tons of stuff away that I did not need sitting there. I put loose cd's that were scattered and stacked around the desk in a nice box and put away. Wires galore, tangled, and who knows what they go to, got put in a clear tote so when we are looking for that special wire, we know where to look. I filed my "file later stack" and got rid of all the dust bunnies that have been building up behind and underneath everything. It only took 2 hours to do.

Next week I will tackle the many fake plants that have 2 inches of dust on them. Or should I wait until mom comes to help me like last time? Just kidding mom, I'll get it done before you come.

Good for you. I'm sorry we never got your kitchen done when I was their. I sure enjoyed Donna's massage though! My goal is to get my office done this month, oops it's May already, didn't happen, maybe this month. I bet your room feels so nice and clean, I still want to see an after picture!

Way to Go!!! There is no better feeling as a homemaker than getting some area cleaned and organized. I am the fake plant geru when it comes to cleaning. I do Joy's and have done this for other children. It's O.K. and perfect to set a goal for these projects. It really works!!
