I have learned to be quite diligent in cleaning up after every project. If I'm in a serious last minute rush, and have to run out with my project before tidying, (I am often making cards or gifts hours/minutes before a party!
) I make a point to clean up when I get home. Having a specific place for everything makes this so much easier. With that said, I still always have a little pile of leftover odds and ends on my table. Often, they find their way into my art journal. When I get tired of looking at the pile, I sort everything into its appropriate box.
Penny and Gigi should start a traveling organization business. I think lots of people could use it!
