I do love office supplies though. Going shopping for things like a mileage ledger, a balance book (to log my receipts) and other stuff was quite fun. After the training stuff, I am inspired to really get more proactive and try to grow my business
After my little cleaning party, I have about 2 feet by 1ft of desk space, and my file cabinet. My sewing machine moved to on top of the file cabinet thus clearing the desk. The sad thing is, that if fiance were in this situation, we would have had a desk for him last year. Me, it's been years since I've had a desk space for myself. So having this little space is a bit of a victory, although not much of one.
Up until now for the most part, I never really needed desk space so it was never a big deal not having one--the whole using a laptop thing usually negates the need for a formal desk. But with wedding planning stuff, Women of Today stuff, P.C. stuff AND school stuff, I'm beginning to need it. All this stuff just collected in the dining room and living room and cluttered that up. 1800 SF and I still live like I'm in an apartment of 1/2 that space. I'm hoping over the next few months, we redo our office set up to somehow involve me getting a real desk space.....

i LOVED shopping for studio supplies when i had my piano studio in appleton. of course, that often involved stickers, so how could it NOT be fun? but i loved each year when i got my lesson planning book, and i liked doing my bookkeeping at the beginning of each month too!
ReplyDeleteand i also totally relate to the "lots of space but doesn't feel like it"...our house has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a finished basement with a laundry room...but we still have yet to utilize it wisely, lol! we're going to downsize in july as it is, i think that will be better. :)
