Time to Tidy Up!
I think you guys are going to like this challenge. Do you ever head to your scrap space and your table is too cluttered to work on? Or you've been making Christmas Cards like crazy, but you can't go any further until you take a break and clean up that table? Or how about whilst scrapping you can't find that silver striped washi tape because your washi tape drawer/bin/whatever is just too big of a mess?
For this challenge . . . . I want you to take 15 minutes to tidy up! To qualify take a before and after picture and post your link to the gallery. The best part is, you can participate in this challenge as many times as you would like through our entire crop! Yay!CHALLENGE RULES: = You must post photo of project in the 2peasrefugee flickrgroup and Named with the challenge (NC15- Challenge #) to count toward prizes. It would be great if you could also link to the challenge thread. = Projects must be of NEW work, not previously done. Honor system. = Please follow the specific description provided. Any questions, just ask away. = ALL projects MUST be submitted BEFORE Sunday, November 15, 2015 at 11:59pm EST. = Challenges CANNOT be combined UNLESS stated in challenge description. For this challenge, your participation will enter you into a random drawing by me. By participation in this challenge, you will not be entered for the group random drawing. This challenge CANNOT be combined, but enter as many times as you would like for chance to win 12 12x12 double sided papers from the Echo Park Reflections Christmas collection.
I'm excited about this one - probably because my scraproom needs it so badly! - Happy scrapping and tidying this week you guys!  |

Perfect challenge! I made a mess on my desk unpacking some old stuff, and need to put it all away before I can start with the scrapping. I can see myself doing this one more than once I make a mess just standing still in my scraproom. |

maryannscraps, Totally makes a difference. I should do this with the piles of clean but unfolded laundry. (where's that whistling while averting eyes icon?)

I am going to challenge myself to do this. I'm not sure I can figure out how to get a photo from my camera into this thread. But I'll try. My poor messy room needs several of these challenges. LOL! maryannscraps, I'm impressed! |

My. Desk is pretty neat well for me as I already cleaned it. I guess I better start scrapping and mess it up and then clean it again.

Okay, my first tidy up. There was more of a mess than in the photo, I couldn't get the entire room. Set my phone timer at 15:00 and I finished just before 8:00 minutes were left. Felt pretty good about that. I did not vacuum however. Off to dinner now, hoping mojo will stick with me and I can scrap some more this evening. Having a great time.

Since I'm still moving in to my room, the tidying challenge is right up my alley. Here are my newly installed shelves. They hold some wooden stamps, some of my kids' old artwork, and milk bottles from my grandfather's dairy farm. I guess they're my "happy shelves" or "inspiration shelves".  |

Well I ended up scrapping on the coffee table instead of my desk. I made multiple messes and cleaned up between sets of layouts. I can't post a picture The flicker account though unless I get approved.  . Happy to get some scrapping done and to have cleaned up as the coffee table was a mess before I started. |

Very hard to work and keep it messy for a photo, as I usually clean as I go since I have limited space. Layout is complete, so I cleaned off my 'work' space so my son and I could have some lunch, and now I am ready to scrap again.  Clean by sbartist, on Flickr |

sbartist I'm a clean as I go person too because I have limited desk space. I have discovered this week though that apparently I'm ok with covering the couch in my office/scrap space with piles of scrappy stuff.

Before we moved I had an office / scrap space. Now we don't even have a bedroom in our condo. So the kitchen peninsula it is. |

Way to go everybody! I really needed this one. My table was a hot mess. I barely had any space to work. Now it's all clean and ready for holiday projects. I posted to the Flickr gallery but can't figure out how to link, despite LisaDV 's detailed instruction video. Here is my before and after: |
