Do you have trouble with clutter?

I sure do!

I am surrounded by it!

and it's time to take back my space...

not just move it from one pile to another...

so...

I googled organizing ideas...

isn't this just grand?

and clean?

I love this small space used at it's mostest!

I could so do this to give it all a new look...

this is fun...

it's a piece from who knows what that someone found while garage saling...

not a lot of space taken up, but looks like it holds so much...

and it's all out of sight...

I love this but cannot afford baskets like that!

cute...

if my space was ever like this...

oh, it just wouldn't happen without a cat laying up there...

now this is useful...

things available...

cannot decide if I want it cute and visible...

or cute and hid...

are you fall house cleaning?

I am not getting very much done right now...

the more I dig the worse things look...

you know...

the storm before the calm...

that's how I operate...

up at 2am...

got a bug or something...

not fun...

going to grab a little something to eat...

and try to head back to bed...

have a great day...

I won!

I won a give away at Lulus Lovlies a little bit ago...

Marilou sent me an email and let me know that I had won...

but I had already seen my name on her blog...

because I keep a close eye on her...

well the package came today!

it's a journal...

in my colors!

inside the front cover is this little pocket...

with this little card...

and this is on the front...

and this is on the fronts...

and this is just so girlie...

with a fairy and ribbons and buttons and all...

I love it so much and can't wait to fill it with what inspires me...

thank you so much, Marilou!

I LOVE IT !

a perfect fall day...

and I know we should have been hanging ghosties and pirates...

but we made chili and brownies and the lads watched football...

aren't these photos fabulous?

all taken by Craig...

in about 5 minutes...

so, give him all the kind words for this post...

and tomorrow is his birthday...

# 26...

I remember 26...

it feels like yesterday...

and yet...

100 years ago...

 thinking about letting Craig do the decorating this year...

now that could be scary in itself...

sometimes his ideas are way out there...

where no one wants to go...

I will be keeping you posted...

Award time...

It's been awhile since I have passed this on...

so, I thought it was time...

Honey at 2805...

if you have never paid her a visit...

today might be a good day to stop by and say hi...

I know some of you have award free blogs...

but I didn't want you to go unmentioned...

there are no strings attached...

just snag it and go...

if you find a blog to pass it on to...

you can do that at anytime...

there are no questions to answer...

just post it with the blog you are passing it on to...

this award is for those who are unashamed to post about God, faith and his mercy in their lives...

it's really pretty simple...

as it is given freely to you...

pass it on freely to others...

my goal...

have a great day!
