I’m up to my eyeballs in organizing euphoria. I’m working on trying to pick me some winners for the 30 Day Challenge. I’ve been through every participant at least once, only 1768 more times to go. The problem I seem to be having is that looking at all the before and afters makes me want to drop everything and go dump a drawer and have me some fun. I’m trying to refrain and focus on the task at hand but oh there are some mighty fine containers at work there in them links and I’m getting the shakes just looking at them.
So in the mean time, so as not to leave you hanging as I check myself into organizers anonymous, I want you to be having some organizing fun of your own. Since I’ve got nothing for you I’m going to send you on over to Meckmom to check out her Christmas planning files designed to help you and your family manage your holiday to-dos, expenses, and gifts. The best part? Downloads and lots of em! I love me some downloads and when I get my act together I’m going to do just that here on this blog too. However don’t hold your breath, I may be in rehab for awhile.
Oh I kid.
On second thought, it might not be a bad idea to pray for me anyway just in case.

Laura, I don’t envy you your task at all. I went through a few of the before and afters a couple of days ago and wondered how in the world you would choose!
I thought about joining the fun, but my “before” pix wouldn’t be that impressive–I’ve been a de-clutterer for years–and most people wouldn’t get excited that I traded out one set of OCD organizers of a different one!

Melanie says
I don’t envy you either. There are some great before and afters out there. 😀
joyful says
You are so funny! Maybe you can give yourself a 15 minute break to do one small organizing task…set the timer!
Barb says
I’ll save you a seat at the looney bin – I’ve been there for weeks now. LOL
Mercy says
Did you mean to say looney “bin” or was that just a slip from your organizing haze? lol!
Laura says
Mercy I hadn’t even thought of that! Now all of a sudden the looney “bin” doesn’t seem all that bad and I might never leave….he he!
Susanne says
I don’t envy you your job of picking a winner. I must say, though, that no matter how many pics I look at I do not desire to dump a drawer to have fun. LOL. *Sigh* How you put up with me, I’ll never know. But I do know what you mean because when I go through Katrina’s reading list links, I start to salivate at all the books to be read. Now that would be fun! ;v)
Lindsey says
Yes, I totally thought that you were going to recommend a new organizing tool when I saw your post title, LOL! Good luck with all the choosing – there were some GREAT projects this time around!
Michelle says
Hi Laura! Um were you thinking of going to Tim’s for a coffee and using a loonie??lol…good luck deciding on a winner!!
Laura says
Okay you chickitas, I’ve fixed my title, you got me…lol!
Twisted Cinderella says
I don’t envy you your task, but I can’t wait to hear the results!
Sandra says
You know Laura, I’m already at the Loony Bin so feel free to come join me anytime LOL
I have to agree with Susanne though, no matter how many pics I see of before and after it doesn’t make me want to clean or reorganize anything LOL
Mrs. Wilson says
Any time you get the urge, come to my place and clean out my I-moved-and-went-on-a-trip-and-started-work-all-in-the-same-week room!
Forgetfulone says
Take a break! You need one. Well-deserved. We won’t be in too much of a hurry for you to decide. We’ve looked at all the pictures, too, and it’s a tough job!
Debi says
Oh Laura, you never fail to make me laugh aloud! I never really considered how torturous that must be for you to have to look at all the glorious organizing and all the fabulous containerizing that gets done during your challenges. I hope they’ll let you post from inside “the facility”!
Melissa says
Thanks for sending me to this web page it was great I enjoyed reading it a lot.

I am about to start checking out the before and after’s of those who signed your Mr. Linky. TY for doing so much to inspire we who are organizationally challenged but so want to be just like you! 🙂
You have an award to pick up at my blog!
Jen B says
LOL, I guess this is your candy shop isn’t it?
I do not envy you having to choose. Everyone did a great job!
