Oh my goodness girlfriends, these past few days Tanna and I have been pouring over all the entries in the 28 Day Organizing Challenge. I have laughed and cried and rejoiced with each one of you as you shared your frustrations, trials and accomplishments. What an amazing job everyone has done! I’m so happy for each and everyone of you. It’s not easy to put yourself out there like that, exposing your spaces for what they were, but trust me when I say that by doing so you have inspired many others to organize their own spaces. And from what I have read, many of you are using the lessons learned during this PROCESS as motivation to tackle more areas in your home. Now that’s what I like to hear!!
Congratulations goes out to everyone for your determination, perseverance and the successful completion of your spaces. And even though time didn’t allow for Tanna and I to comment on each individual post as we would have liked, we took the time to read each and every entry and are honored that you opened up your homes to us. Here’s what Tanna had to say about the challenge:
“First I want to say thank you to Laura for letting me take this little journey with you all. It was tough to just pick three winners in each category because you all Rock! You are all winners in my book and you did a great job! I know it is hard to show off your clutter like that but I think we all learned a little bit from it. Each and every one of you were able to inspire someone else going through some of the same issues! Your transformations were amazing and you should all be giving yourselves a huge pat on the back! I am proud of you and keep up the good work!”
Okay so now the time we have been waiting for. Please take a moment to visit each of these ladies and congratulate them on a job well done.

Congrats winners! Although I’m sure we would all agree that every one of us who participated ended up winning in the end…

Congratulations to all the winners! And I ditto Jesse’s comments. I’m also getting ready to tackle some other areas in my home, starting with the pantry.
Peggy says
I finally got back here to see who won! I tell you, after beginning this challenge, things got even worse! HA! The month totally got the best of me and I never really got started. I have, however, been making a lot of headway cleaning out clutter which is a great start. Looking at all the winners inspires and encourages me. What a great site this is!
I use this blog as a source frequently. Thanks!
Peggy says
Oh, I forgot! Congratulations to all the winners! What a great job everyone did!
Joyce @ Keeping Up With The Moys says
Congrats to the winners! Great job on transforming your spaces. I wish I would have completed the challenge had I not had to deal with the yuckies (the kids took turns and they decided to share with me) for 3 of the 4 weeks. We’re still planning on finishing.
