Well, it took me awhile, just doing a little at a time but I finally got my studio/office clean. So I thought I would show you the pictures:

And here is my desk:

Now, the desk drawers are a little open but that's not cos they are so full. It's because this is my dad's old desk and the drawers just won't close all the way.

And here's my laptop work station:

Of course, the room is not perfect. I wasn't able to take all the furniture out, purge all the things I don't use, etc. But I did get it clean and organized which is enough for now. At least I LIKE being in here again!

After my crazy, busy Fall craft season, I took a look at my office/studio and shuddered. How did I let it get this bad? Of course I say that every year after my craft season is over and I vow not to let it get like that again, but invariably….it does.

I know I need to clean and organize it. I spend more of my waking hours in here than I do in any other room. And let's face it, this room is just not conducive to work. I don't know if you are like me but I just don't function well in so much clutter. It just makes me feel nervous. I feel so much more peaceful  when my space is organized.

I am happy to report that the rest of my house is pretty organized. It's just THIS ROOM that haunts me. I had decided that I was going to get this room in order this month. But when I walk in here, I'm just completely overwhelmed by the mess. I almost feel like one of those people on that show "The Hoarders". Except I don't hoard.

I am a member of Lynn Terry's Self Starter's Weekly Tip's Forum. Our January challenge in the Elite forum is to take a before and after picture of our work spaces and to clean and organize them. How timely! So I am opening myself up to the embarrassment and humiliation of letting them…and you see my messy office/studio.

This is the wall where I hang my finished ornaments. It look ok, but the drawers below it are a wreck!

Here is my desk, and portable desk with both of my computers. Yikes!

And the worst of it….my craft table (you can't even see the table anymore!)

Ok, there you have it. Please be kind!
