If Your Life had a Theme Song ~ What would it Be?
My theme song would be “What a Feeling” from the movie Flashdance~
What’s your life’s theme song?
In the Quiet of the Morning…….
Good Morning Connecticut~
Please – Everyone, take it easy today shoveling out of this lovely snow~
1. Take plenty of breaks – it’s not going anywhere!
2. If you have a child old enough to shovel – we should not find you out there!
3. Dress Appropriately – layering is the best, although my husband has been known to shovel in shorts & winter coat!
4. Stay Hydrated – Take a bottle of water or Wine (just kidding) that’s for after!
5. Watch for Slippery Areas – canvass before collide!
6. Remove Icicles from Your Home – when falling they could cause injuries, they can also be used for the wine (just kidding) again this happens after your work is done!
On a serious note: Please be extra careful when shoveling your driveways, sidewalks, etc!

Winter Projects!
I am not a fan of the Winter Season ~ Except for Christmas!
Envision-Designs is going to be posting some winter project ideas to help myself and others out there, to get through the dark, grey days of Winter. I am going to be – Shhhh….stealing or I like to call it ……copying, the idea from HGTV Flea Market Flip. Each month I will post a Flip List ~ to take with you to flea markets, tag sales, thrift stores, antique stores – wherever you like to hunt for treasures. Once you find an item that is on the Flip List, you think about how you can fix and flip: re-purpose, re-finish, re-make, re-design, etc. to resell at a profit. Here is an opportunity to work alone or as a team to show off your skills or to try out your creative side! You never know this could be your calling…..take the challenge!
Come Back for Flip Lists & Remember to post pictures!!!!!

What can a Professional Organizer do for you?
I can help you reduce clutter, organize your space, find storage solutions. Envision-Designs specializes in finding organizational functions throughout your home, finding the purpose in every room!
“Organizing is a skill, it’s a remarkable simple skill that anyone can learn”
Working as a Team we can:
~Tackle a closet packed to the ceiling with questionable clothing and other items
~Address a playroom littered with toys that never seem to find a home of their own
~Sort through paperwork pileups scattered across desks, counter-tops, stairs, sofas and chairs. Whether that’s a heap of unsorted bills, daunting tax forms or complicated estate planning
~Attack a jam-packed attic, basement or garage
~Help out in life-changing situations like downsizing a home, relocation and blending of households
Learning the skills it takes to have a Organized and Well-functioning home will help when it comes to putting your house on the market. When your real estate agent calls to say there will be a showing today~you and your family will be ready to showcase the home.
Another great place to find Staging items & accessories
My favorite thing to do on Sunday mornings is visit the Jewitt City Flea Market. http://www.collegemartfleamarket.com/
This place is full of items to use for the home, the yard and anything else you could envision for your house ~ at a great price!
The place smells musty and in some areas its dusty, but it speaks treasures to be found to me, I love going through all the junk ….oh sorry treasures, to discover something different every time I’m there. I usually walk out of there with something in hand.
Check it out one Sunday ~
