    Stopping over from Rhoda’s.

    Holy Moly – your blog is awesome. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the bookcase headboard – and I’m going to do that for my bed. I’ve NEVER had a headboard!LOL I found you by way of Today’s Creative Blog.

    ok I am eventually going to get around to being a copy cat on the sock board, since ours our in a pile in my bedroom looking sad.

    Also I have to ask what all you file? I am getting ready this week to do the annual filing cabinet purge and looking at your files you have for each room etc. So what do you file for those?

    As an organizer I know you have the what to keep bills stuff down (something I am not yet comfortable with and part of the reason I have yet to forge my own business in organizing) and I’m wondering if you would be willing to do a post on the files to keep and what to toss. I keep all utility and credit cards etc. For a years time incase I need to dispute something. Taxes forever, although I’m a little tired of all the excess taxable forms with them :( home improvemnt related stuff for the life of the home, cars until you sell them. BUT what about all the extra medical stuff from old insurance companies that are not tax related, should I keep all copies of life inusurance or only the renewals and what about copies of credit reports since they change so often?

    Your awesome by the way and if you ever decide to franchise out the organizing business put me first on the list ok! There aren’t many around here but the paperwork to get started seems daunting.

  13. jennibell on January 7, 2010 9:50 am

    Thanks for your recaps! I would need a WALL for all my socks-without-mates though!! You’ve had a busy year. . .love all the before-and-afters :)

  14. Angie @ The Shabby Chic Cottage on January 7, 2010 3:19 pm

    I love that lost socks sign!!! Thanks!

  15. Prior on January 7, 2010 7:26 pm

  16. Paula Grace on January 10, 2010 8:07 pm

    I love your organization ideas…and may steal a few of them! Thanks for the inspiration! And by the way, I’m pretty sure that a few of the matches for your socks are actually at MY house…

  22. Thankfully Thrifty on January 11, 2010 9:06 pm

    The Mom Agenda is wonderful! I have the smaller My Agenda version!

  23. Deborah on January 12, 2010 5:34 am

    Leanne,

    Thank you for sharing all your organization projects. One question. What time will you be here?! I love it all. Doesn’t it make life so much simpler? Great job!

    Deborah

  24. Aimee on January 12, 2010 8:30 pm

    Oh, I LOVE the lost sock clips! I think I’ll be stealing that one. ;)

  25. Kim@Twice Remembered on January 13, 2010 7:50 am

    Ok, you have to be the most organized person I’ve ever met! I’m a highly disorganized person, lol, so I’m always in awe over the genius behind great organizational methods – like the Lost Socks Board! That’s just so smart! Thank you for sharing!

  26. Stephanie on January 14, 2010 11:32 am

    I absolutely love that missing sock sign! I am going to feature it!

  27. Katherine @ Grass Stains on January 15, 2010 7:40 am

    OK, that bookshelf headboard is a GREAT idea! I love everything you recapped, but that one is my favorite. (The lost socks clips might have won, but I already have a good system for that at my house.) You are very creative and a wonderful inspiration!

  28. Kimm at Reinvented on January 17, 2010 7:14 pm

    Wow, I am so impressed! Can I just come and live with you for a few months to learn from you? :)
    Thanks for linking up!
