Umm break? We get a Christmas break? Where???? Oh, I'd do it in a heartbeat if I had one of those. After this past week...good Lord, a tornado came through here! I'm lucky I can find my computer. I'm gonna have to get me some new storage for all my new goodies! Woohoo! Maybe Santa will surprise me???

Ok, so Christmas break for me doesn't start until 11:30 a.m. (just one in kindergarten), but I started tonight. My husband and I installed the Lisa and Becky Rail System. I'm not going to lie, there was a lot of cursing (from him because of the screws), but in the end - it ROCKS.

BTW, if you are thinking about buying into this system, get your own 1-5/8 inch screws. You'll be a lot happier!

I ws planning to REALLY tear my area apart after we get back so I can't make the Jan. 5 deadline. Great challenge though. My area is a REAL wreck now with all the projects I have going on. This weekend is MAJOR clean up!!!


Hi Mary Lou!

I think a lot of us have a worse mess than usual this time of year, from all the cards, gifts, etc. we are making. I only did cards and an Advent calendar, but what a mess. Bummer that you have to work, but vacation is sure a good reason to miss a challenge, LOL! I hope you'll share your organizing results with us later on :D :D

Hi Liz! Copied your wonderful recipe and plan to make it with the kids over vacation ~ thanks! As for the Challenge, no worries, you'll get it done as you have time. This is such a busy time of year, it's hard. Today I posted about the (slow) progress I'm making, but it's progress!

Hi ~Jen~

I'm sorry you don't get a break! I know, I'm very blessed to have one. I feel like I'd better make great use of it, before I get back on the treadmill in January. I hope Santa brings you some organizational goodness...

Awwww, wish we lived closer too and I'd take you up on that kind offer! Got any inspiring pics of your organized space??


I have pics of my old scrap room that I miss so much! It was very organized, imho :) My current area is in my living room and there's not much more to it than the picture that was posted in the Reader Spotlight the other week, but I like to think that I've done a darn good job fitting a whole crafting room into my current living room ;)


Wow, if I had to fit all of my junk into a living room space, I would be in serious trouble. You have done a very nice job!

Hi Julie ~ I posted about you on my blog. That rail system looks very cool. Hope DH is still speaking to you, LOL! I've gotten a few things done already too, but can't wait to dig in. My vacation starts tomorrow after 6pm!

Hi Noel :D

No, you concentrate on your work, because we want to see lots more of it. Since you got your Expedit, have you found it easier to stay organized? (If the answer is no, please lie to me...).
