Spring cleaning accountability!

This swap focuses on our studio/craft room area...

We all spend so much time on our swaps, maybe our cleaning and organizing has fallen a bit behind? This swap will help you get some cleaning done!! If you feel a little overwhelmed, this swap is for you. You will end up feeling like you accomplished something for yourself!

For this swap we photograph, we clean, we photograph, we plan! Easy, right? (Except, of course, the cleaning part.) you'll be surprised at how much accountability helps you get into the cleaning spirit. And how much knowing you will be rated for doing/not doing it spurs you into action!!

Photograph at least three areas of your craft room. I am not concerned about the swap being even. it actually doesn't matter as long as your studio/craft room improves. Clean/organize the area!! Put some elbow grease into it! Now, enjoy a cup of tea or hot cocoa. (because I said so) Take pictures again of the cleaned up area. E-mail these pictures to your partners, along with a plan for keeping the area better organized in 2015. (It doesn't matter what... a detailed 12 step plan, or 'I hope I won't dump junk in here anymore'... but try to be realistic with your goal while also thinking about what will make it easier to clean up next time, or to keep clean)

You may complete the requirements before partners are assigned if you like. Get to work!

Rate your partner a 5 (or 5and a heart) if they email you before/after photos of their studio/craft area before swap deadline. Do not base the rating on your opinions of their choices or their success. Next month, maybe we will do it all again! (Hopefully it will be easier then!)
