an organized office

Organizing is just the best. Can I get an amen?

For years, I've put off organizing my office. I don't know why. Part of me was probably procrastinating. Another part had convinced the other parts that I had bought all of the stuff exploding from my closet and I needed to keep it all. And another weird part thought that I needed to have a full-time, thriving business in order to "reward" myself with a stellar office.

Finally, one day, for whatever reason, I realized that all of that stuff was stupid. And, it was time.

So, with the help of my slightly obsessively organized husband, I got to work. It took me a whole week, but we made it happen.

I threw away about 5 trash bags full of trash. Yes, trash. I can't believe I was working in that.

I also had 7 bags full of things to donate. Fabric and craft supplies and everything in between - all off to Goodwill. It felt like a weight lifted off of me as soon as I dropped off all those trash bags.

Then, my husband got me two 3'x3' peg boards and lots of hooks. I made a list of all the items that I regularly use and made two stations - a packing stations and a making station. The packing station has all of the supplies to ship out an order. And the making station has a little desk and my paints, brushes, etc. It's worked out so well so far.

Already, I'm seeing my creativity flourish. Not only do I feel like I can breathe in my own office, but I also know where everything is now. It's making photo shoots and shipping orders a breeze.

Now, I want to organize all the things!
