Look at that.......what do you know...there was a desk there the whole time!! LOL
 
WOW! I've been silently watching (reading?) your struggle while I think about getting myself more organized. I'm impressed! You're on a roll! Keep it going.
 
GREAT JOB!!! That is SO inspiring!!!!!!!!!
 
Great Job Carolyn! Your hubby must be SO HAPPY!:D
 
Atta girl!! You're inspiring lots of us!!!
 
Go Carolyn! Go Carolyn!
 
Go girl. What a great job. Very impressive. Now just remember - handle everything once & file it where it belongs immediately and your desk could stay this way.
 
Way to go Carolyn! I love tackling something like that (only after I'm completely motivated...before that I just cringe when I think about doing it)...and the feeling that comes from having a handle on it. If you need any specific hints/tips about certain papers, tidbits, etc., let us know and maybe we can help you solve your problem. Yippee!
 
we are all in your picture too! your computer is on cs!
 
Wow Carolyn. I am so happy for you and it looks great. Things have been so out of control this week. I had every intention of some girl time and helping you. I soooooooo apologize. I was sick Monday, played catch up on Tuesday, then audits on Wednedsay and Today. Lawyers today...too. Then trying to stay up late to work on PC and all the Leadship News.....I am so glad you are staying motivated and doing it on your own. GOOD FOR YOU. I can't wait to come see it finished. I am sure I can still help with labeling or whatever you need. It LOOKS SOOOOOOOOO GOOD. You GO GIRL!! How do you FEEL?
 
How awesome Carolyn! I was noticing you haven't posted much in the last couple days....now we know why! And, the chocolate milk is even gone;)

It feels SO good...I am a bit nervous about finding places for al teh crap in teh box (most is gettin gpitched - LOL). Now I just need to work on KEEPING it this way and making better use of the closet space. I still have the upper shelf of the desk & the two littel cabinets of the desk to contend with - but this sure is a good start!! Jill, whenever yo ufeel like coming over you're welcome to!! I have a show Friday night and am otherwise available!
 
I so wish I had a desk. There is literally NO room for it here though.

Oops - missed that - LOL
Of course the nilk has not yet made it down to the kitchen sink but it is out of the office at least - LOL I wil lbring it (an dall the other dishes) down in a little while and wash them all (ack)
 
You are sooo freakin cute...Seriously make me smile. I do want to go to another show of yours tooo. We'll figure it out. I think we may just need to move a fridge and sink up to your office to we can make sure the milk gets taken care of daily. That may be a better solution...BAHAHAHAHAHHA!
I am going to take more pictures tonight of my postcards and my drawers to people can see my organization. They have me organizing work stations at the office today and process audits....its and organization frenzy in January.
 
Something we use here at the office for people that have room. Their products are great and most are very nice.

www.ultraoffice.com They have some VERY nice pieces that can make any office look EXTRORDINARE!!!! I ordered a couple wood pieces ..rolling pieces for my laptop..LOVE THEM.

I thought about asking if you "missed the 8-day-old cup of chocolate milk" but thought that might be too snarky. :rolleyes:

Oh, and yes, I do miss it - LOL
Guess I'll hafta have a new one tomorrow...see how many days it'll last -- but given my new organized persoanlity, it may not last too long. Stray hairs on my desk are annoying me today - LOL
 
I will take a picture tonight when I get home and you will laugh your HINEY off....tooo funny. Too much to do..tooo much to read...why would I walk down stairs for something to drink. I have my kitchen and living room downstairs and a big family room upstairs with all the bed rooms. NO TIME to go down there. At first, I thought it was an eye soar and it BUGGED the CRRRRAAAPPPP out of me. UGHHH, and UGLY white FRIDGE, but now....as I turn around in a BLINK of an eye and grap a pierre with hint of cran.... BAHAHAHA.....no as i grap a damn water...it is very nice. I am ignoring the eye soar part....................and I keep reading all your threads.

Paint it pink & glue sparkles on it? Or cover it partly with a pink sheet that you decorate up.
