I attended one of your courses; very helpful. And, I purchased 6 of your books; 1 for myself and the rest for for friends & family. We each find them useful in day-to-day home organizing.
Thank you so much for your suggestions and continuing advice. It’s a book to live with in addition to presenting a property for sale!
I live my life more organized which leads to less stress and a better feeling of success.
Kudos to you!
With much appreciation, Tammy

Clean under appliances. Six months ago (okay it was 18 months ago. Sigh! Make that 2 years) I broke a vase and did not take the time to clean the glass remains that had scuttled under the fridge, so when my favourite bracelet recently broke and the beads ran under the fridge I dragged out the fridge and the forgotten glass shards gouged deeply into my hardwood floor. Moral of the story is to atte...
In the middle of April I was contemplating a Garage Sale to downsize our increasing amount of stuff. I started going through a mountain of old books that had been taking up room in boxes for over 10 years. Keep. Chuck. Keep. Chuck. Then a tired green cover emerged; Story of the Wreck of the Titanic: The Ocean’s Greatest Disaster. Memorial Edition. Copyright 1912. This was an incredible find...
2011 TRENDS THAT FLOPPED
The prediction for colour going into 2011 was for a riot of clear colours as in acid yellows, vibrant purples, effervescent turquoises, lively blues and spring greens. These did not make the forecasted trend, at least not for long. Painting a wall acid yellow for example has adverse effects on even the most stalwart, be it known that yellow walls in an infant’s room make...
Well, I’m sure that’s not strictly true. In all the millions of colours that exist in the colour decks of thousands of paint brands the world over, I’m sure someone, somewhere has dubbed a colour “Eggshell” (after all, how many different words for “Off-White” can they really invent?) But I digress… the point is that the “Eggshell” you’v...
It was about 1963 when I was employed by British Railways at Euston Station, London England. I was in the typing pool. I earned four pounds a week.
Apart from changing the ribbon, I knew little about the typewriter’s internal workings, but that didn’t seem important. About once every couple of months we had to clean the keys – those little arms with a letter at the end that whacke...

Susan was on Rogers TV DaytimeThursday May 26th, 2011 talking about “Spring Colours”.
Accessorizing your space is the final step in decorating. This is the element that adds personality, colour and punch, whimsy and charm. Just like you wouldn’t wear the same clothes all year round, why would you display the same accessories all year round? Accessories can be an inexpensive updat...

QUESTION: How do I calculate the correct wattage to light a room?
ANSWER: Use some basic arithmetic. Room Length x Room Width x 1.5 = Proper Amount of Watts to Light a Room. For example, let’s take a 12×16-foot room: 12x16x1.5 = 288 watts of lighting. Therefore, a five-light chandelier using 60-watt bulbs will provide adequate light for the room.
