I am in the midst of the very same process...however, I've not been brave enough to share my pics w/anyone except one person (who I've not met in person yet) who is also in the same process...we decided to become accountability partners on this "organizing" process....I may decide,when I'm finished the process,to post the pics on my blog but I've not committed to that yet!<BR/>As a decorator, who's been in many homes, I have found that most people struggle with clutter in one way or another....and creative, right brain types, especially! Afterall...we can't be great at everything! I've also found that it is much easier to help my clients with their clutter than to manage my own in certain areas such as my work space....it's just so much more fun to be creative than to file!<BR/><BR/>I came across your blog via "eye-dillic"...I think...and am so glad I did! It's lovely....I will be back!

If everything has a place where it can be stored then it's easy to put it away when it's not in use, but if not, it's really hard. So it's not your fault -- you're not overly cluttered, you're just storage-challenged. <BR/><BR/>I love my Canon scanner too. It's part of a printer scanner, which I put off buying for way too long because I liked my old Canon printer so much. But my neighbor kids are now enjoying my old computer and printer, I gave my old scanner to Goodwill and the combined unit saves a lot of desk space. <BR/><BR/>P.S. Thanks for the link to my studio organization project. It's working out very well, though at the moment it's not looking all that organized!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-69484245113526336862008-01-31T00:05:00.000-05:002008-01-31T00:05:00.000-05:00your paint set looks great.

I file finished and unfinished sketches not in journals in plastic sleeves in white 3 ring binders categorized by place, etc, anything that helps me locate a sketch. I don't have a separate studio space so I work as if I'm traveling, putting tools away daily. Not easy, constantly dealing with the neverending mail and papers we collect. Good luck in rehab!<BR/>aikoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
