The magic of tidying

Guess what?

Today I went to Officeworks and bought some cards and card holders to make my own version of a cleaning game.

You will have to give me some ideas for jobs to include. I think I have 100 cards.

So far I have written on about 39 cards to start. Next I will decorate them with pretty flowers in the corners. I will paint white flowers and then put a touch of colour on each petal.

Wow @Oaktree 39 different ideas for cleaning jobs!?

Re: The magic of tidying

@Oaktree I suggest: Take the Nick-Nack closest to you and throw it in the bin.

Nick-Nacks are a human pestilence.

A home needs space, flow and balance.

Re: The magic of tidying

@Glisten hahaha I'm so far along the opposite end of the scale, I LOVE me some knick-knacks! I actually hate minimalism so much, give me colour and complexity any day!! 

Re: The magic of tidying

@JynxI’m sorry I can never come to your house for dinner 😆

We can still be friends. Don’t talk about Nick-Nacks.

G lol

Re: The magic of tidying

@Glisten 🤣🤣 oh no are we gonna have to throw down? A knick-knack war? What if I told you about all the random lil bits on every flat surface of my home? Actually I won't do that, I don't wanna torture you 😝

 

Always friends! Never knick-knack pals. Got it!

Re: The magic of tidying

@Jynx  too funny 🤣 

Re: The magic of tidying

Knick-knacks are all I have, no heirlooms of value. I value their associations.

I got the gutters cleaned today. I had a blocked downpipe. Everything was full of leaves.

Tomorrow I'll get more boxes of books out of storage. I'm not sure I'll be able to deal with them.
