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. Please be sure to check back or subscribe (click here to get posts delivered to your email box) to see if you are receiving one of the items this week.
In Spring, the crevice tool on my vacuum gets a good workout! Would love to do some spring cleaning in my craft room with this class. The book is adorable! Thanks for the chance.!

Brew a very large pot of coffee, grab my iPod and start cleaning! If I sit and plan it will never get done. Just gotta jump right into it.

That looks amazing, thanks for the chance to win!
Best tip? (Other than getting my husband to do it?! ;) ) Little and often. It's rare that I get the urge to spend a whole day cleaning and tidying (like, never) but I can handle doing a certain amount every day for as long as it takes :)

My favorite room to "freshen up" is the kitchen. I go through each cabinet and remove any outdated food items and toss. Then I donate to a local food drive any items I have not used in the past 6 months. It's amazing what you can find that has migrated to the back of the cabinets!

Spring Cleaning? That's a tough one! LOL My personal tip would be not to argue too much with the husband. When he says to clean the windows, just do it! If not, he's just going to hit the Repeat button!

One room at a time... I sell Norwex which is a chemical free cleaning company and it makes cleaning so easy. One step cleaning. Oh and purging... I try to use the rule if I have not used it in 6 months.. it goes.. Easier said then done sometimes.

I try to start small..either one room or one closet at a time. If I don't have time I'll even just start with one thing at a time. Shoes, clothes, toys, scrapbook supplies, the junk drawer in the kitchen...etc

Audio Books - the secret to any household task, especially those that would usually be avoided at all costs. Find the right book, with the right narrator and the time just flies. And if you're really lucky, once you finish one project, you'll jump right in and start another one just so you can continue listening to the story.

My favorite spring cleaning tip isn't really about cleaning things, it's about cleaning the winter air out of the house - I open the windows wide (even on a chilly day) to let in the fresh breezes of spring. Always makes me feel great!
I've always wanted to take Mary Ann's class!

Don't do it all yourself. Involve the whole family. Go out for pizza after it's over, reward good attitudes and going the extra mile. Make it fun.

I don't specifically do spring cleaning, but I do try to go through clothing and anything that hasn't been worn for a year goes to Goodwill. I currently have three big trash bags of items to go. And, don't forget to itemize them for tax write-off!

I love TOSSING! Get some great music in your ears. Get the right frame of mind and touch something 3 seconds and ask been a year, Need it?

If you can, do it on a day when you can open the windows...the fresh air and soft breeze is very invigorating!

I like to go through all my clothes and purge. Here are my guidelines:
1. If it doesn't fit right or I don't feel totally comfortable when I wear it or it just doesn't look good on me TOSS IT.
2. If I haven't worn it in a year TOSS IT.
3. If it has unrepairable damage or staining TOSS IT.
I used to have two closets of clothes and now everything fits in one closet. And no matter what I choose to wear, it's going to fit and look good and make me feel good. Gotta love that!
Thanks for the chance at a great giveaway.

Open up the windows, get a garbage bag, a bucket with warm water and an old cloth and just start. Oh and don't forget the music! Very very important.
