Are you a minimalist or a clutter nutter?

I have craft stuff in every room of the house. My daughters boyfriend went into the bathroom one day and came out asking why there was glitter all over the bathroom. I had been making some Christmas ornaments in there and the bathroom shelf was the only place I could think of to put them to dry. My 8 year old got into my glitter and spilled it but said he cleaned it up (not really, but he tried). The boyfriend made the comment that there wasn't a room in my house that was immune to crafts, that the bathroom should at least be sacred. Oh well, you have to use what you have, right??

I'm a clutter nutter and a hoarder/packrat. 2 years ago, my hubby and I bought a new bigger house, and that gave me a room all my own for my craftiness....and I still spread it out over the entire house because that room is packed full. Luckily my hubby just goes with the flow...I do hope to someday get a bit more organized in my hoarding/clutter nutteriness......(sigh)

Count me as a clutter nutter. I just start to get organized and then I acquire more things. I need two houses, one for work space and one for living in.

Um. My name is Elizabeth and I am DEFINITELY a clutternutter. When I want to sew something, I clean off whatever area and tools I'll need, which makes me believe that I'm capable of cleaning the rest of my place. This theory has yet to be proven, though...

I'm a clutter queen!!! I don't have the space to put things!! I go through throwing away fits but still there is so much and no room to put it!
My husband promised to transform my closet in my office/ craft/sewing room. I want tons of shelves! I like organization but when you don't have the room ......

Im such a 'clutter nutter'...my rooms (i have one in the basement and one upstairs that i sleep in) are completely filled to the brim.
im the kind of person that will find a wrapper on the ground and think, well i know theres a good use for this (and i feel bad that no one wants it) and keep it.

Clutter nutter here!
Not just a room or rooms but the whole house, carport, storage shed and yard. Doesn't help that I am married to one also. Maybe that is why we get along so well?

So where do I sign up for the Clutter Nutter Anonymous meeting.

CLUTTER!

I keep anything I think has a use. What I don't realize is that keeping it around does cost me something.... SPACE.

I just cleaned out my bathroom cabinet and holy crap it looks so much better. I threw out a lot of old stuff and random receipts in there.

If you feel blah, clean up clutter. It's so freeing.
