Cleaning TIME!

Submitted by Krisann Blair on Sat, 09/16/2006 - 14:33.

I am getting excited about the upcoming Christmas season but I have got to clean, declutter more and get things in order to make Christmas gifts and things to sell at the Christmas craft fair I do every year.

 This morning (Saturday) I am going to get my dining room back in order!  So this morning is going to be devoted to working in the dining room.  I am going to start cleaning for 30 minutes this morning and see how far I get.  That is my plan for the next week - I am selecting one room each day to work 30 minutes everyday except Sunday (I am trying to honor the sabath more - that is another story for another day)

So anyone else with me???  Join me on the Message Board and report in your success!

Cleaning the kitchen....

I wasn't as successful as I would have liked. Yes, I did accomplish 30 minutes, but it wasn't enough. I'm not feeling up to par this weekend unfortunately. I haven't accomplished anything today (Sunday). Krisann, I agree with you about the Sabath, but I do work outside the house, and when I get home from work, I rarely have the energy to do much. I do accomplish some during the week, but I do accomplish more (usually) on the weekends. The only difference for me, is that I have no children. I do have 3 dogs though, and even though they don't take up as much time as a child(ren), they to are work. I hope to make up for lost time during the week this week. Wish me luck. I did accomplish some though on my Christmas planning. :)I went through the catalogs I do have at this time, (I've only saved the ones that I decided had something in it for someone), I marked the appropriate pages with the items I do intend to buy for other people, and I marked the items that I hope I may have money to buy for myself, such as decorating items for the house. Has anyone ever MADE a 70" round table cloth? If you have, do you have any tips for me? I haven't been able to find in a store, something that works for me, so I'm entertaining the idea of making my own. I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas for me? Thanks
