Special Spring Cleaning Challenge

BEFORE by Wendy






Guest Design Team Member Wendy has submitted the following pictures for the March Special Spring Cleaning Challenge.
This is her description: Right now my scrapbook room is at it's worst. The kids have been doing projects for the Science Fair with friends and their area has become a disaster. The only cleaning I've done in here lately was getting the paint out of the carpet!
I love having my scrapbook room on the main level because I can go in there any time I have a few free minutes but it also means that it has become a catchall area. I need my room to be clean before I can get creative which would explain why I haven't finished many pages the past month!
I love to organize and my room desperately needs a few adjustments and a thorough cleaning so I am all over this challenge! I can't wait to have things neat and back in order and I am looking forward to seeing everyone else's progress!
Now it's your turn. Stop what your doing right now - and go take a picture of your area. See all the details in the Spring Cleaning Challenge below.

  1. Thanks for sharing your room with us Wendy. I moved my room to the main floor and it also became a catch all, mostly for me. lol I also have Emma's clothes in the closet with alot of my scrapping stuff that I don't use as much. Can't wait to see it all cleaned up.

  5. I must say I'm a teensy bit jealous of all of your nifty storage in the closet...ok, I'm just jealous of the closet! :) But I am glad to see that I'm not the only one who stores my cutter on the floor!

  7. I Can so relate to the catch all! The sad part is - it's usually me putting the stuff in there with the idea I'll put it away later! Seems like later never comes. I am determined to keep my room in order once I get it there! We'll see!

  9. Since so many of you like my desk I have to share it's story. I found it on a rummage sale with a "make offer" sign on it. My MIL recently bought a similar one for over $1000 so that gave me an idea of it's value but I didn't NEED it... I got it for $50!!! It's been my best find ever and I have definitely gotten my use out of it. You should have seen us make it fit in the back of my van. My motto is if you want it bad enough it will fit! As well as offering more table space the extra piece on the end holds 12x12 albums inside.

  10. You are so lucky to have a room for it all! I am the same though, if it's too messy I can't work! Can't wait to see your after pictures!
