Spring Cleaning - It's a Good Thing

It's that time of year—time for spring cleaning. You know that I am by no means a minimalist. I like my vintage finds (aka someone else's junk), and I like my spaces cozy. BUT, there's something amazing about clearing out and turning loose of the things that are cluttering your life. You know how to clean closets and cabinets, but do you do the same for your creative space? Do you take the time to make it a place you want to be?
Spring Cleaning Tips for your Create Space:

• Get rid of the clutter! My craft room can be  the catch-all. Put those things in the rooms where they belong.
• Take everything off the shelves and wipe them with something that smells refreshing. I like a Pinesol/water mix, but make sure you know your surfaces.
• Throw away old, dry paints. No, you are not going to use them. No.
• Reorganize by color or media. Try something new if you dare!
• Purge old magazines. Am I the only one with stacks of Farmhouse Style and Where Women Create???
• Treat yourself to a new (or vintage) organizational piece.
• Shop your own stash! Pull out and organize supplies for a new project.
• Create something amazing!

Now that we've got that cleaned up, what about your spiritual life? Could you use some spring cleaning there?

• Ask yourself: Is my time with God cluttered or overshadowed by... you fill in the blank--social media, busyness, work, the world's junk...
• Start a new Bible study.
• Set time for prayer. Keep it.
• Journal as you walk with God.
• Be a Holy Spirit Secret Agent. If you look and listen for Holy Spirit nudges, you'd be amazed at how many opportunities to work for God will pop up.
• Ask God what clutter you need to shed. Then do it!
