organization and an important update

 
hi! i am back, however, my visits will be infrequent i think until i am more organized.
 
i have learned not to be frantic over this process, no spending, all in due time, as the old saying goes.
 
so, for now, a new and amazing fact, that i probably thought was a lot of hooey, really, but it seems to be very true!
 
the key to no spending, you know, when you cannot find that certain something and you run out and go buy another one if you can afford it,
 
is really
 
ORGANIZATION!
 
there, i've said it!
 
i've had help, a tremendous amount, organizing my stuff, not buying anything, and organizing it in shelves, boxes, totes, you name it! and i can now say, with a ton of confidence, that for those of you
that didn't believe in organization, well, it is all that it's cracked up to be, said, and more!
 
i can now find a hammer, but i found 6!
i can now find the nails, enough to last my lifetime and 6 others! lol!
screws! omgoodness!
i can now find all my paints, crafts, gardening tools, tools, boxes from USPS!
 
amazing! just amazing!
 
who knew! really!!!!!
 
all my crafts and sewing are in one designated area, my fashion warehouse, garage turned into my working shop, and as i work through my home, i walk things to the proper area and file it away!
 
believe it or not, i've got empty boxes, that i keep rearranging to house the same product!
 
it is still a learning and work in process, but i cannot say enough about this!
 
i had help! from a friend and her hubby, who built, moved, pushed, laughed and cried with me while i took on this endeavour!
 
i couldn't have done it without them! i move forward daily!
 
and i couldn't leave you without letting you know i even have a container in my freezer for ice cubes, they are all lined up in rows! only kidding! lol (my friend? yes she does!) She and her hubby just organized her closet and it is to die for! wow, she is one smart cookie!
 
the lovely thing, she paid it forward to me, teaches me new everyday! i'm listening!
now i'm passing it forward to you.
 
have a great Sunday, peace to you and yours, i am working today as i type, just wanted to check in with the great news i've discovered!
 
is anyone listening? it's ok ! if anyone finds this post, do it, organize, ask for help! once you get the hang of it
 
you will save money, find what you already have so you can use it, your life will be so pleasantly surprising!
 
i've repaired, fixed, glued, hammered, moved, organized almost my whole shed, my doll house, out back now, so i can find all my tools!
 
good luck, and if you want or need any words of wisdom (my learning experience and ideas so far) please don't hesitate to ask or pop me an email!
 
i'm still learning but another key to helping yourself in this life changing project is brainstorming! :)
 
hugs to you,  kat =^.^=
 
ps. my home, probably like yours, will always be what i call "under construction" so don't fret when you start a new project or two while you are still in this organizing project!
 
organizing will help you move forward! wow is all i can say at this point! :)

a long time later.....

Well, who knew it would be this amount of time before I returned to this blog!

I now have something to say!

This endeavour was much harder than I anticipated and I am just now able to explain how apparently overwhelmed I was at the start of this blog.

What I have learned:

good intentions are hard

it takes a ton of baby steps

it takes time to grow and learn what is important and what is not

it takes time to do something by yourself

it takes time to accept you can get there, but it may take a while!

with that said, I have learned  much patience, most of the baby steps and most importantly how to ask for help!

I will be back soon, if you are out there, to let you know my progress!

To be honest, now that I am "not running away" from my issues and facing them head on, I have been making progress, slow but sure.

I have learned so very much over this past year and soon I will share, but for now, I am editing what inventory I have, releasing it, and hoping to move onto my most important project soon!

That project is a biggie, however, I am now ready to tackle it! Wish me luck, I will be back soon, hugs to all, =^.^=
