Happy Hour and Belated Creative Space

I missed yet another Blogtober post!  Not very good at this commitment thing.

There is some new Friday fun taking place in Blogworld.  It's called Happy Hour and is being hosted by Dorothybills.  Basically post about something that has made you happy this week.

I have been busy organising and decluttering at home this week.  This has been inspired by my friend Samantha's new blog.

The above photo is my back door.  This is the door we use the most.  The kitchen bench used to collect all sorts of clutter as we came in the door, school notices, library books, mail, handbags, keys etc.  I was always losing important things.  Now each person in the family has a shelf where they put their things as they walk in the door.  There is even space for a couple of pairs of shoes so they can be put on in a hurry.  I really hope this helps with my family's organisation.  Fingers crossed.

Now whenever I am looking for the car keys I know where they are, this makes me smile.  My husband was able to get himself ready for work this morning at 4 am because I had put everything he needed on his shelf, this also makes me smile.  And I was able to send back several readers and a library book that had been floating around the house when I sent Monet off to school this morning, this will make her teacher smile.

So I have been creatively organising this week and I think it shall stretch into next week as I tackle the master bedroom.

For some cheap thrills check out Happy Hour at Dorothybills.

And for more creative ideas pop in to Kootoyoo.

P.S. Please excuse the colour of the back door, we haven't decided what colour to paint it yet, any suggestions?
