Tackle It Tuesday

Another stack of paper…

Last week I was only half way through this tackle and so I decided to save the rest of it for this week. Well the good news is that I finished the tackle and I have the after photo. The bad news is that the before picture is on my computer in Italy!

Susan and I switched computers while she is away (I needed hers to manage her work) and I tried to move all the stuff I would need over here. But I forgot to move my photos! So all my recent shots are in Italy!

So you will need to use your imagination. Picture a big stack of unsorted papers and mail. Got it? Okay, now here is the after shot:

Other than that tackle, I am trying to answer hundreds of emails and tend to an enormous to do list.

(For those of you wondering, Susan has safely arrived in Italy. I am hoping she will be sending us a picture for Wordless Wednesday this week!)

Link up and show off your tackle. 🙂

    It’s easy to picture what the “before” would have looked like as my desk looks like that most of the time!

    Glad Susan made it to Italy ok!

    :O it’s Tuesday already?

    Well I will be posting my TIT later today – I have spent the day in the car, traveling from store to store, tomorrow my Aubrey is going to be 8 – I am in shock!!!

    So we are having a HUGE party on Sat – actually 2, one from 12 to 3 (for the adults) and one from 4 to Sunday at 11 (for 13 of her closest friends)

    Am I nuts?

    OH, how clean isn’t that! Well done!

    I had a lot of different, both fun and not so fun. The shopping might have been the best one 😉

    Oooh – nice clean table top! My favourite sort of tackle is clearing paper – I LOVE throwing paper away. I suppose that’s why it’s my speciality, isn’t it? LOL

    Glad Susan made it to Italy safely.

    The place was such a mess last week that I just couldn’t tackle a thing. So last week my task for “Tackle It Tuesday”, was to actually sit back and do nothing. 🙂 It was wonderful.

    I hate sorting through mails and paperwork. I really believe it takes longer than cleaning the house because you have to read through things to make sure you’re not throwing away something of importance.

    This will be my very first Tackle it Tuesday! But, why did I decide to do it? Because I literally *just* finished my chore. LOL
