Ginny February 12, 2010 at 9:17 am: Hi Jamie,
This is such great timely advice for more reasons than one. As I look at my desk, I have such neat piles but only one pile is inspiring. So I am now going to try to change a few things and make this corner of the room alot more inspirational. Also, I am talking on this exact topic next week so not only did you give me something to think about today but all of the women I will be talking to next week. Thank you!!
Suzie Ridler February 12, 2010 at 9:26 am: Oh Jamie! It is just the coolest to hang out with you in your artistic office! Miss you so much. And just maybe you will inspire me to attend to my tall pile of papers that are repelling me from my creative space right now. Way to go getting all that done!
leah February 12, 2010 at 10:46 am: yay, i liked getting this peek into your space too, jamie! i’ve been doing some of that space clearing too and it feels great!
Karen D February 12, 2010 at 1:39 pm: Hi jamie,
How fun it was to see your cleared space with all it’s yummy creative joy in it.
I always feel happy when I do some de-cluttering also.
becky nielsen February 12, 2010 at 2:34 pm: I love it when I get something like that done. I just go back in and gaze lovingly at it from time to time and sigh – “How nice.” Am in the middle of doing a number of little cleanup/organize projects – must be the month for it. Unfortuately, when I clean up one area another gets even messier. I’m sure I’ll catch up ONE of these days!
amanda @ kind over matter February 12, 2010 at 2:35 pm: Love this little video Jamie! Very inspiring too!! My desk right now, ohman, need to declutter – it always feel soooo much better to “work”! xoxox

Nadia February 12, 2010 at 6:06 pm: I am in the process of going through art materials and books and getting rid of what is holding me back. happy weekend! ciao!
Lisa February 13, 2010 at 7:27 am: Isn’t it wonderful how something so simple can delight us? Yay! You’ve certainly inspired me do some of my own desk rearranging/ tidying…. what a pleasing sense of accomplishment!
Sara @SoulSpackle February 14, 2010 at 1:17 pm: I’m doing a little Chinese New Year decluttering so I’m right there with you! It does make me feel so happy and light to have clean spaces. Thanks for inspiring us to find happies every week! I feel I have so much happy now I can hardly contain it! It’s so true how you get more of whatever you focus on..
Helen February 14, 2010 at 4:29 pm: I just repainted the entryway to the apartment! It must be so satisfying to get that area organized and feeling inspirational. Hm, perhaps there’s some inspiration for my own working spaces…
Ellecubed February 15, 2010 at 10:07 pm: Thank you so much for sharing this video Jamie. It was full of inspiration.
