I’m so excited to tell you that the monthly organizing challenge is coming back to I’m an Organizing Junkie! Many of you asked for it and I’m happy to say that this one will take place during the month of February. There will be two categories again…small space and whole room…and participants are more than welcome to enter in one or both. You’ll have the whole month to complete your organizing project and at the end of February you’ll come on back and link up your success story. I know you can do this!
I’m currently finalizing the prizes for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners which are going to be just awesome. I’ll also have some guest judges helping me out and I’ll let you know all those details on February 1st. Just wanted to give you the heads up that this will be coming soon and I hope you’ll consider participating. And no worries if you want to get a head start, just don’t forget to take before and after pictures to include in your post.
I’m also happy to share this fabulous button created for me by Jackie of Memories By Design. I just love how it turned out!
Stay tuned for more details coming soon! So what do you say, will you join me?

i’m in…again! i started last year and never finished. my project? our bedroom-turned-paperwork-dumping-ground! i have to get a handle on the paper clutter. it’s completely robbed us of the joy of having a beautiful refuge to rest in each night! the best part is i’ve already gotten a head start as of last week…i took the time to unearth my desk, so i’ve already taken care of a small portion of the big picture!
I’m yet to be involved in an organising challenge so I am very excited and I can’t wait!
Now to start thinking about what to do….
I’m so excited. I always loved the challenges. It’s such good incentive. You are fabulous and keep up the good work!
Hugs
Kim
I love this and will definitely take part! Thank you!
BTW, your button is not working on my page for this challenge. I tried different things and it just is not working!
I’m in! I need to clean out/organize my craft room anyway, this is the perfect motivation that I need.
You bet I will! This will go perfectly with my Declutter Challenge: http://amysfinerthings.com/declutter-challenge
Yay! I am super excited! I only did two last year and then there were no more so I am ready to go! Thanks for doing them!
I’m in. We are looking at selling our house soon, relocating due to hubby’s job so I NEED to be in!!! lol
YAY!!! I have LOTS of purging and organizing and possibly creative space making to do before this baby comes and/or we move.
I love challenges! I look forward to seeing how this all works.
Thanks for letting me know about the button Chele. I’m working on getting that fixed. Sorry about that!
I am in! I have a guest room that needs to be totally made into a guest room. Right now it has more clothes than anything and I have been using it as a dressing room/catch all room. I want it to be a restful, relaxing guest room where I am proud to leave the door open.
This will be my first time, but I’m in! :)
I am in…but I am nervous! Will I really end up with a clean and organized spot in my house? I just don’t know what I am going to do with that…hehehe!
Just discovered you site, and I’m hooked! This is just what I need…… I’m in!!!
Of course I’m in! :) I do it every time.
I absolutely need to sign up for this one…and I know just the room that’s gonna get organized! :o)
I’m in. It will be my first time but my garage needs serious help.
I actually really want to be involved. I have some rooms that I just can’t ever seem to get organized … but having something like this might help motivate me – which I really need with baby #1 on the way I gotta things organized while I still have time!
I want to be in.. it will be great for my house.
I’m totally in!
Perfect! I’ve been hoping for this–it motivates me to tackle stuff. Count me in for the hall closet and the master bedroom!
Awesome idea! I just re-organized my daughter’s toys & books and I felt SO great when it was done. I’m looking forward to tackling more spaces around the house.
Dang!!! I just cleaned and organized my office/scraproom and didn’t take before pictures!!!
Guess I need to find another area.
I am new with you..but I am IN. I have a home office that I have been walking past for the past (embarrased to say) couple of months. Just getting organized (with three kids is that possible)…is on my major hitlist.
I might just have to participate! Sounds like the kind of push I need to get some of this chaotic mess under control! :)
I can’t wait! !!
Glad it’s back
Sounds exciting!
I think I’m in on this….is there somewhere to go to read details about what we need to do?
Stay tuned for more details Teresa. I’ll announce it all on Feb 1st. Basically it just means taking the month to organize a small space or a whole room in your home.
I’m in! I have to decide what room and/or small space to use. I tried to decide so I could take before pictures, but wound up photographing the whole house. We’ll see what I can manage to do before the end of February. :)
I am totally in! Does it have to be a particular room or area?
Christa, no you can pick whichever room or space you’d like.
Oh, I am so in for this! Even know what space to do which of course is great procrastination to not do anything with it yet til the challenge starts! ;-)
I have a large family with 5 children. I’m IN. Maybe I can finally begin to get rid of stuff that’s been around from my 21 year old.
This will be fun…except the housecleaning part! Buwahahaha…I’m kidding…I’m totally in the mood for organizing my whole house….
A little bit every day will make a big change! I’m already seeing the difference!
Woohoo!
Organizing Again in 2010!

I am on it! My son leaves for the Air Force Feb. 8. I don’t drink, so I will clean! Yippee for the challenge!
I’m in. The last challenge I participated in was very motivating.
I’m in…was planning on doing some decluttering and organising this year…so could do with the incentive
I have baby girl #3 on the way. She will be here March 3rd so I have been organizing like crazy with help from my mom and sister. It has been so refreshing so thank you for all of your ideas and support!
Great idea.
My husband and I are hoping we will be moving into our new house at the start of Feb. I really need to take all of our junk, sort through it, re-organise it at this end and then organise it in the new house. If you see what I mean?
So I shall hopefully take part and let you know how I get on sometime in Feb.
Good luck to everyone else.
I need to join in on the February fun! I posted today about your challenge on my blog.

Yes I have to join in with this, I need some incentive and motivation
I think I need to be in on this! We are drowning in our clutter, unhappy, grumpy … I want to step up to the challenge! Now .. to decide which space/room to free! LOL
I just found your blog and I WANT IN!!!
I was already on a mission to declutter (hence the reason I found your blog) but this challenge is just going to add icing to my cake!
I’m glad I found you :)
I can’t wait to participate. I have an area in mind that needs a total “de-clutter”!!
I just found your blog and am loving it! I am so in on this challenge. It will be even more interesting as I won’t really be decluttering but unpacking. You see we are moving from Alaska to Indiana (as in the packers are putting the last of the stuff in the moving truck right now.) Our new house will be much smaller so if I ever needed an organizational challenge… LOL The biggest part of the challenge will be seeing how long it takes our stuff to get down there (2-6 weeks delivery time!)
I need to organize and declutter! We are expecting our third child this summer and my house is not getting any bigger. Space is becoming a premium in my home. I have never participated before but I have never needed to as much as I do now.
Count me in! Looking forward to (hopefully) being able to find things a little easier around here!
I’m in! I really want my bedroom to be a haven for my husband and I. Right now it is out of control. If I don’t know where to put something it goes in my room. That needs to stop.
This could be just the incentive I need to tackle our basement play area. I’m in. I could use the support.
What a great challenge! I’ve been meaning to tackle our large laundry room which also acts as storage since we have a carport and not a garage. It is also filled with bins of ‘garage-sale’ items we want to get rid of soon. I would love to participate, thanks for the heads up!
BTW-I love your blog header (the pic is cute) and I love storage bins! I’ll have to put your button on my blog. :)
Also, for you and your readers I have a $50 DECOR GIVEAWAY taking place on my blog, so you can visit here to enter to win:

I’ve already decided what I’m gonna do this year. I’ve already taken b4 photos. I will start a bit this weekend cuz I’m tired of the mess.
I have shipped the quilt to NY as of Monday and brother-in-law emailed me Wednesday that they got it. Believe it or not, it goes well with Kathy’s recliner he got her for Christmas!! What a coincidence!!! I feel so relieved it’s gone. My daughter-in-law wanted to know when I was going to make one for little Melody? I’m not sure if I’m gonna tackle a project like that again. I have some thoughts for fabric that I bought for her….a pillowcase made out of flannel? Will see. Will post soon of the project that’s COMPLETE!!! :0) Thanks for your inspiration!
I’m in! I used to be a very organized person and then I had a baby this summer and my organizational skills went out the window! So excited about this!
I am definitely in! We just moved into a new house and I’d love to get it organized!
I so need to be a part of this!! :)
I am so, so glad you are bringing this back! I can’t wait to get in on it!
I’m in! I want to get our furnace room organized and turn it into a pantry, which is much needed! I’ve already posted before pictures on my blog and can’t wait to get started! I can’t wait to see what the prizes are!
Just what I need to get motivated!! Our “guest” bedroom is playing host to piles of out-of-season clothes, wrapping paper, hodgepodge furniture and whatever else we don’t have a place for. I would love to have a space for family and friends stay. Thanks for providing the inspiration and resources needed to accomplish my task! :)
I’m SCARED… but okay, I’m in! Can I borrow your button for my blog so friends can cheer me on???
We moved into our house in 2008 and my sewing room/office has been the dumping ground for many of items. This is the motivation I need! Thanks for giving us the challenge!
This is perfect because we just moved and I have not had the motivation to deal with it. Can’t wait and thanks for the motivation!
How fun! I love to tackle projects with the support of others who are doing the same. Can’t wait for it to start! :)
Count me in……Hubby will hopefully get to retire in a few more years, and then we are REALLY going to downsize. I’d like to get started now!
I’m so in! I need to tackle my craft closet and well lets face it & the rest of my bedroom!
Oooh. Can’t wait to hear more! … I’ll put my organizing on hold, and wait for the challenge! :)
I love it. This is just what I need. I have one room we really need to finish, from walls to then organizing. What a perfect challenge. Thank you!
What a great challenge! I just updated my blog and resolved to one and only one thing this new year . . . organizing EVERYTHING in my life. I can’t think of a better way to start off my organization journey than your challenge. See you all back here in a week!
What a challange. I’m definetly going to join. Just don’t know in what space of my house, have it all messed up still after the moving. By the way, I live in Brasil, can I participate and recieve the prize? Thank you for some great tips! Starting the Menu Planner in my life. Hugz
this is exactly the type of challenge i’ve been looking for. i’ve been wanting to clean out & organize our office since we painted it back in august. i’m excited to make february my month of action thanks to your challenge! yay!
I am cleaning my garage. This is the extra motivation I needed. Too bad I didn’t get a picture a week ago, when I started hauling out junk.
Is it too late to get in on this?? Just moved to a smaller place and determined to be organized in here! :-)
