In case you hadn't noticed, I have been absent from Kaboodle...
Things have been chaotic at work and home--good chaotic, but busy nonetheless.  I was promoted from Human Resources to Executive Assistant to the CEO of my company--this is a huge honor, but it has meant organizing a great many things in my office, which has only made the disorganization at my home seem all the more glaring--and given me less time to manage it!
I have never been the type of person to seek outside help in matters of home cleaning or maintenance (except in extreme cases of home repair which are beyond my expertise...even those I grit my teeth and think, "I could have fixed that with a wrench and some elbow grease...")
Stubborn strong will runs in my family.
I am on a campaign in my home to get organized or die trying!  Spring cleaning has hit me hard...With my rotary labeler in one hand and plastic bins and shoeboxes in the other I am a cleaning fool.  Anything I can't use or keep is going to Goodwill.

Do any of you have handy solutions for getting clutter in order?
I am always looking for clever, artistic ways to get my clutter tidy--I am sort of over the Container store variety of organizing...
