Description:

I can not be the only person that has a craft room or area that needs improvement (or a complete overhaul if we are honest here lol), whether its a deep clean, a supplies purge, just some good organization, or all the above. So I am creating this swap to help make us all a bit more accountable in getting this "Spring" Cleaning done!

This will be a 2 part swap that lasts 5 weeks:

PART 1 (THE PLAN / BEFORE) - During week 1 of the swap send your 4 partners an email with at least 3 pictures showing the BEFORE of your craft area/room. Tell them what tasks you hope to accomplish in your area...what things are most important that NEED to get done versus what are some things that would be nice to get done? Please be somewhat specific such as "i want to organize my craft papers" or "go through my giant stamp collection and catalogue it" instead of just a blanket "I hope to clean my room".

PART 1A (HALFWAY DONE) - Feel free to send your partners a midway done email letting them know how you are coming along on your list so far. THIS EMAIL IS OPTIONAL.

PART 2 (DONE / AFTER) - During week 5 (or when you are done your to-do list if you finish before the 5 weeks is up) please send your final email to your partners.

If you send your final email before the 5 week mark that means your list is done....congratulations! If you send your final email in week 5, but are not quite done, that is still ok too! I personally do not know that my craft area will ever be "finished" lol. This final email needs to include what you did get accomplished, what you didn't get to do, and at least 3 AFTER pictures of your craft area/room.

PART 1 & PART 2 EMAILS MUST BE SENT IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A 5. ONLY PART 1A EMAIL IS OPTIONAL!

You have read my mind lol! I had done this a couple years ago here, and was just thinking about it again, as it seems that doing a swap to clean up is the only incentive for me to actually attempt to organize haha! Definitely adding to my watch list :)

I do hope you join @sassafrass Even if all we manage to accomplish is a good deep clean or a few todo's then I would consider it a success :) At least it would be progress!

Thank you for your comment, Crystal - my very real fear for this was I wouldn't get it done, but I'm sure I can get SOMETHING done!

CrystalZ 05/ 2/2019 #

I am actually excited to get started on this, this coming weekend! I hope you watchers do decide to join us for this swap :)

Why not send our progress to everyone who signs up? I'd love to see what each person does.

sassafrass 05/ 4/2019 #

I'm in :D I honestly would much rather be crafting than cleaning, but I'm at a point now where I need this push or I will continue letting stuff pile up lol! Future partners: I apologize in advance. What you will see could possibly give you nightmares

CrystalZ 05/ 5/2019 #

I have changed the number of partners to 4 so everyone should be able to see the others progress!

user6937 05/ 5/2019 #

I'm still scared of the enormous work ahead, but I've taken more pics than necessary, just so ya know who you're dealing with (or what I'M dealing with)! :(

sassafrass 05/13/2019 #

Is anyone shocked by their pictures, or just shocked at mine? lol Seriously, the pictures bring it all to light. A very ugly light. I knew it was bad ... but the photos really made it all sink in. I'm making slow but kind of steady progress. Hope you ladies are off to a good start!

CrystalZ 05/15/2019 #

I am really feeling quite productive with this swap and I hope everyone has been making progress on their goals!

I have sent my midway check in email! Wishing everyone great success in the rest of this swap :)
