I have been talking about my Strategic Plan #1…..first I have to tell how I came to this.
While I was recuperating from the kidney removal surgery, I had LOTS of time to think. When thinking about my goals for 2010, I wanted something I could be accountable to weekly or monthly. So, when I read on Lisa Sonora Beam’s blog about making a Strategic Planner. I thought this was perfect! It just took me awhile to do it!!!
So on my Strategic Plan #1 is organize and simplify! The whole house, but mostly my studio as I was starting to be overwhelmed whenever I went into it. So, have been purging alot, sorting things to sell or giveaway and basically moving things around.
Already I can feel its better!!!
One of the things in my studio that was making me feel overwhelmed was my row of Iris carts that sit on top of old dressers. These are good for me to organize all LIKE things together but see the mess inside was not.
I read on Sharyn’s blog about what she did with her cupboard and thought I could do something like that with my drawers. I had saved all the white cardboards from all the packages of scrapbook paper and cut them the size to fit in each drawer.
It took many hours to get the old stickers completely off – some were very old as 2 sets, I have had for 9 years. LOVING Goo Gone!!!
No fancy pattern or anything just white with the black marker words! LOVE IT!!!
Soon, I will have the whole studio organized and will photograph it. I am doing this all between projects – SOON Strategic Plan #1 will be done and on to #2 which I will tell you about in the next month or so.

Wow! You did a great job. It looks fabulous. Funny how something like that can make a huge difference, eh?
Wonderful. GOOD for YOU!
It looks awesome Dale and inspires me to keep moving on my plans to purge and reorganize my studio. I hope to take it to the level of “black words on white background” no nonsense organization too and love the look and simplicity.
Thanks for sharing!
