The Back To School Clean Up Challenge

O.k., I realize I dropped the ball on this challenge. Please forgive me. It's been a long month and I've not had a chance to check everyone's blogs to see who actually participated. So if you have posted your cleaning challenge on your blog, please leave a comment on this post so that I can check out what you've done. On FRIDAY, I will hand the kids your names and they will randomly pick the winner of a $10 Amazon.com e-gift certificate. If you haven't joined in and would like to be considered, just post a photo of your challenge on your blog, link back here, AND leave a comment so I know you've joined. The deadline is FRIDAY!!!

The only person I know who completed their challenge is....

DOROTHY!

Blessings,

The Back To School Clean Up Challenge...

Here is the first cabinet...

I will still be switching things around as I reorganize the other monstrosity over the next week or so. I bought some more bins to keep things in and hopefully it will help keep the art supplies under control.

The Back To School Clean Up Challenge

I have picked my clean-up challenge. It was hard to pick just one thing since many things need my attention BUT I wanted to pick a room or area that directly affected our homeschooling experience. So without further ado...

This is one of my supply cabinets...it contains old preschool stuff, a few appliances, and some very old snacks and drinks...

This just plain is the bane of my existence. I clean it, organize it and it looks like this in a week's time.

I'll try to do the other two cabinets also but these need it the most. I have my work cut out for me. I not only need to clean and organize. I need to find a way to keep it that way!

Blessings,

The Back To School Clean Up Challenge

Here is the new challenge...clean something!LOL What I'd like to see this time is for the focus to be on getting ready for the new school year. Pick a room; declutter, organize, and use that space the best you can. Now that doesn't mean that it has to be a room that you will use for school but this new focus will be to make your home clean and organized for the school year. If your bathroom is so dirty that you keep losing a kid during each bathtime, then that's the room for you. If the dining room is in a state of perpetual disorder, then clean it! If your kids can't find their way out of their rooms before dinner time, well, either clean it or consider yourself lucky.LOL I'll be sending out a $10 gift certificate from Amazon.com to whoever makes whatever space they choose, to their best advantage.

Rules:

1. Take a before photo

2. Save the Graphic to your computer

3. Write a comment to me on this post, saying that you are going to participate

4. Post your before photo with my graphic at the top of your post and link back to this post so others can find out about it and post these rules in your post (*snort* clear as mud, right?)

5. Clean target area (LOL)

6. Post an after photo and tell me when you're done so I can keep up with your progress

On the last day of August, I'll have my dd, Allison, pick the best cleaning job and I'll personally send you a $10 Amazon.com gift certificate.

Blessings,

Lisa

PS. You are welcome to use any of the graphics that my kids made last month! I just thought it'd be easier to keep track if I named this month's challenge differently.
