Sponsor Giveaway | Mary Ann Moss

GIVEAWAY | Three people will receive spots in Mary Ann Moss's online class Remains Of The Day.

Remains Of The Day is the antidote for all of those paper scraps that keep multiplying in your favorite scrap box and clogging up your artistic super highway. In this process AND project oriented class we’ll be constructing a shabby but sturdy journal (like this one) using all of that paper you’ve been hoarding. Ordinary life never looked better than seen through the pages of this stitched up journal of scraps.


TO BE ENTERED into this giveaway please leave a comment below sharing your favorite spring cleaning tip (if you are reading this post on Facebook please come to my blog to leave a comment). Comments will be closed at 8pm Pacific on Sunday and the winners posted shortly after.

    I do a bit every week rather than a seasonal clean - 20 mins a day keeps it ticking over. and i agree about fresh air and using baking soda and vinegar

    Spring Cleaning is a family event at our home. I've found that by getting my husband and daughter involved refreshes and renews us as well as the house.

    Since we still have snow on the ground, I haven't done it yet. But my one and only tip is to open the windows and air everything out. Nothing like fresh air to make a house feel better.

    What a great giveaway, I have SO many scraps in my drawer that I don't know what to do with, this would be a great class for me! My Spring cleaning tip: I go through each room and make a list of all the things that need to be done, break it down by room instead of an overall mess. Take a room each day and don't be afraid to get rid of stuff that you aren't in love with anymore, donate it! One mans trash is another man's treasure! Oh, and open the windows...let that fresh air in, it's amazing how big of a difference that alone makes!

    As much as I hate any type of cleaning, my tip is that one really does have to move the furniture every now and again to clean under and behind it. My home seems fresher after getting all that out-of-sight dust out of it. Thank you for the chance to win.

    I do a serious cleaning out of our materialistic things before our church garage sale which is always in early Spring. Feels good to see that giveaway pile growing!

    If I haven't seen it or used it since last spring (and by "it"
    I by no means mean crafting supplies LOL) it's gone-when it comes to crafting I'm a hoarder! ; )

    My favourite tips is to tackle something everyday, a drawer, a cupboard an area of a room. Its always easier to lots of little things than trying to do a whole room. This way I always get my usual things done and within a couple of weeks Ive gone through the rest of the house.

    Beautiful project!
    I think keeping a box in the car with things to move out of the house and get rid of is helpful--it's hard to clean clutter! It just keeps getting moved from one spot to another if we don't get it out of the house.

    I love how there are a lot of scrap-bookers on here with a spring cleaning block, it shows we have our priority's right, and hey I am a busy working woman and would prefer to be scrapbooking/card making in my free time then thinking about boring old cleaning. So my tip is pay for some spring cleaners to come in and do it for you freeing us up so we get to concentrate on the important thinks like scrapbooking, card making and playing around on photoshop.

    My spring cleaning tip is to do one room at a time. I always do the living room first since it's the room we spend the most time in. It makes me feel much better to sit in a room that is wonderfully cleaned!

    my fav is to share the abundance, Hebrews 13:16...inspire a spiritual journal making adventure with all the creative ones you can find and supply all the supplies! that way i've stirred my stuff (organized) AND cleaned out (simplified) AND sparked yet another creative monster!! :)

    My spring cleaning tip is to do one room at a time, and do everything in that room...everything! The only item this doesn't apply to is windows...I take a day that's cloudy and do all the windows on one day. This year, I'm going to try and use a squeegee instead of rags and see how it goes... Would love the class thanks!!

    My best tip? One room (or one cabinet in one room!) at a time. It can be so overwhelming if you try to tackle the entire project at once!

    ANother vote for open windows and vinegar. I actually try to deep clean one room monthly all year long so that spring cleaning is not overwhelming

    Don't dump out an entire closet unless you know you have time to finish it :0.

    My favorite Spring cleaning tip is to open windows and let the house "air out." Nothing like fresh air to let you know that Spring is here.

    Fabulous giveaway!
    Spring cleaning tip? Use what you have on hand...For instance, use vinegar to clean windows..and wipe dry with newspapers.
    Love me some clean windows!

    My spring cleaning tip is one room at a time--haven't used it, give it away! It's very hard for me to get rid of stuff so if
    I get stuck, my dh pitches in and helps. Love the journal!
    Thank you for the chance to win!

      I have to percolate on it a bit- noticing the trouble spots and getting myself psyched for it! I have been looking at the dust on my counters and scattered jewelry on my dresser- so I think I'll start in my bedroom since those are the 2 things that jump out at me.
