There are a few other organizers I have met in this great town of Athens. I love that we can support one another. I had the pleasure of having coffee with a new organizer just getting her feet wet in this business, Lisa Lewis. She has some great ideas and has been working on her own home and friends spaces for some time and is now available to help others.

Someone asked me the other day what were some common things I tell my clients. I thought about it some and these are some things I try to teach all my clients. If we have worked together before you'll probably be nodding your head along the way. I hope these help spark some ideas for you and help you get started on your journey to having a Neat & Pretty space to enjoy! 1.
