A TIME TO REFLECT
It seems to me that as 2014 draws to a close, it is time to reflect on all the positives in our life – our family, our friends, and to give thanks for the fact that we live in the best country in the world . HAPPY NEW YEAR !

SEASONS GREETINGS !
Wishing you and your loved ones a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year . I hope that you enjoy some beautiful quality time with family and friends over the Festive Season.
I also want to thank those of you who allowed me into your homes to work together with you to create functioning organised spaces; and I look forward to meeting more of you in 2015
Best wishes - Hannah

DAY 20 OF BIG SPRING CLEAN
TARGET REACHED !!! My goal was to discard/declutter 100 items through the month of September and I have reached my target with 10 days to go. Some of you have joined me on this journey and are no doubt feeling pleased with themselves. It is never too late to start – just walk around the house for 5 mins from time to time and you will find “stuff “ that is cluttering up your life and that can be discarded or donated.
If you need some help to just get started , feel free to contact me at www.organiseyou.net.au

DAY 19 OF BIG SPRING CLEAN
My bathroom cabinet hadn’t been looked at for many months so it was long overdue for a good clean. It didn’t surprise me that , after taking everything out , I discovered many pharmaceutical products that were well and truly out of date. I really recommend you do this from time to time.

DAY 18 OF BIG SPRING CLEAN
Today I ruthlessly went through my linen cupboard –found a few towels, teatowels, tablecloths that have had their day. Now the cupboard is much more organised and I can see exactly what I have, and I know that it is all in good condition.

DAY 16 OF BIG SPRING CLEAN
Somehow today disappeared without me having the time or the energy to do any decluttering – but I did manage to count up my discards and discovered that I am up to 80 !! Well on target to achieve my goal of 100 !
Tomorrow I resume the task!
