Get Ready – It’s Spring Cleaning Season!

I consider myself to be the resident organizational expert here on the “Out of Office” blogger team. Just ask anyone who knows me about my love for zip top bags and my label-making machine! As a neat freak, I am always anxiously awaiting the arrival of spring as that harkens to mind spring cleaning. And, if you’re like me, you may have been bitten by the spring cleaning bug already. So, I thought I’d post a great round-up with quick, easy and fun organizing ideas I’ve seen online. Take a look at the sites and projects below, and be sure to add some of yours to the comments section.
