Old sign playroom Sign went for $115 When I came home from Hawaii this past summer, while the holiday blues didn’t hit, one thing sure did. I noticed I flat out had too. much. stuff. I knew this of course before the trip. You know how you keep replaying the same thing in your head, “I […]
A funny thing happens when you go raid a neighbour’s broken down fence. First, it sits in your own front driveway for your neighbour’s viewing pleasure for WEEKS on end. Then you finally take it apart with this handy dandy idea. Then most of it got cleaned and stored. But there was a massive pile that never […]
On my continued Crap to Clean before Spring quest, today I’m taking you downstairs to my paint studio. Confession… I have not been reading my KonMari book (post HERE) like I should. But that’s because I haven’t caught up to her suggestions yet. Goodness… I need a year off of life to do this thing […]
Me – “Could you lead me to the cleaning book?” Bookstore – “Ah. The KonMari method? The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo?” “That’s the one…” I first heard about the book from Colleen, at 58 Water Street, who is also cleaning with this method. If you haven’t yet heard of this […]
Hello, hello, friends! Ohhh I have missed you. This. Us! I feel like I’ve been away for so long! I’ve actually been ‘attempting to write’ for the past few days, but it just. wasn’t. working. Can I admit something? I’m struggling to find my way back after the Christmas break. This has of course nothing to do with […]
Happy New Year! There will be no link party this weekend. Please save up your awesomeness for next weekend! See you then! ~ Donna You know when you take a before picture, and it’s so bad you cringe because you don’t want to show the world ‘that photo?’ Because they may all run from the […]
With all the Christmas going up everywhere, I looked around my own place today, shook my head, tripped over the junk on the floor on my way to the paint brush, and started painting again. I’m behind, Christmas wise. BUT, the uphill effort IS paying off! This tired hallway I talked about HERE seems like weeks ago and it […]
Dear house, It’s about time we had a little chit chat. You already know I’ve been battling to clean you up but good. We’re coming along nicely. But you’ve been continuing to taunt me in ways that have had me a little scared, and playing safe. Safe isn’t very exciting, is it? No. It’s not. In fact, […]
I’m a zone person. When I focus on a task, I lock myself in that zone, and see nothing around me until the deed is a done deal. Only trouble is, zone people often don’t realize the path of destruction they leave in their quake. Can you relate? Breaking out of that zone mentality is […]
Vision watching a cartoon. All these looney tune characters are trying to stuff an itty bitty building full with heaps of reclaimed wood. So they toss huge bundles over their shoulders, and darting at road runner speed, they huff and they puff and they PUSH the stuff in. Upon impact, the wildly bulging building separates at the seams for just […]
