Spaced Out Organizing Solutions

Getting your photos organized (whether prints or digital) you have to get started somewhere. Set a goal, and get started. Don't risk losing your photos due to a flood or computer crash.

In the age of the social media and smartphones, everyone’s a photographer. We snap, share, filter and tag photos every day, but we rarely stop to organize the shots that stack up on our devices, let alone the prints that are stuffed in envelopes, in drawers, in boxes… just waiting for you to take th...

Don't know where to start? Here's a challenge for you for this week. 1) Pick a drawer. 2) Empty it completely. 3) Give it a wipe. 4) Only put back stuff you use or love. And it you don't use that itme in that space, find a more appropriate home for it. Ahhh...doesn't that feel better? Now repeat. Don't bite off more than you can chew by emptying every drawer in your house. Stay focused. Have fun!

I'm thinking of offering personal mini computer training sessions helping you learn how to manage your photos. Scanning strategies, file organization, photo gift creations. Tell me what you want to learn and we'll work at your computer together and make it happen. Not too late to get those photo gifts ordered before the holidays. Message me if you're interested.

I've designated a few drawers in a dresser for everything that is leaving the house. When I find something to donate or pass along to a friend or family member, I tuck it away in the dresser drawer. When someone is leaving our house I run to the dresser and make sure there isn't something for them...a book they might enjoy, some hand-me-down clothing for their kids, tupperware they've left behind. When the drawer starts to burst, I fill up a donation bag. Now I don't put that too small shirt back in my drawer because I haven't got a donation bag started yet.

Got the organizing bug today but feeling creative too. Think I might scrapbook with the boys. They were looking at my school days scrapbook yesterday and started begging to makes ones of their own. We'll sort through their school stuff to see what treatures we find...and then I'll try to make some of it disappear into the recycling :)

Tip from Hellen Buttigieg: Request that family members and friends give your children the gift of an experience instead of a toy. This includes taking them to an amusement park, a movie, a concert, or paying for some music or sports lessons.

In my last post, we talked about organizing a toy room. Now that you have put the time and energy into creating order in the playroom, you’ll want to make sure it stays that way.

Some good organizing tips for back-to-school from Hellen Buttigieg.

Every summer around this time, I get transported back to when I was a schoolgirl, getting ready for the new school year to begin. Being an organized kid, I would start cutting out wardrobe ideas from the new fall magazines, buying school supplies and getting a fresh new haircut. Now, I know a lot o...
