Great idea! I actually have thought about including promos in my shipments before, but never this detailed! Will definitely work on this for all my stores!

Comment on Five Steps to Transform Your Home Office into a Sanctuary on a Budget by Joyce Aldawood

I have always worked among organized chaos. But I am trying to put things on computer disks and dumping them into a safe deposit box. I have always worked in paper intensive businesses. I was an examiner for the feds for 14 years before they really started to organize everything on computers….we were awash in paper and everything was a priority.. Then I was a realtor for 20 years. Ha! Talk about paper! And multi-tasking!. Now, I do everything but actually make the jewelry at our custom jewelry design studio. And once again there is lots of paper. So, I have tried to make my home office comfortable and a refuge. I painted the room in a very soft pink toned beige which is warm and soothing in the sunlight. And I treated myself to a set of 3 large matching wooden bookcases. They each have 5 shelves and a center drawer. And I am refining my filing system. Candy helped me out by peeing on the large sofa sleeper- so that was removed from the home office/house. And in it’s place was put an oversized leather chair and ottoman. I have plans to create a wall of photos and drawings next to the wall where the computer is. And slowly, more paper is getting properly filed, thrown out or stored on disks. My home office is the smallest of our three bedrooms but it is slowly getting organized! And part of that comes from being inspired by people like Michelle.

I like inspiring things in front of me – like my goals, my ideal client profiles and my vision board.

Other than that I really LOVE a decluttered and organised space because I feel CRAZY if things are messy!
