Transforming a cluttered craft room for a woman with PTSD and lupus
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ธ.ค. 2023
- The woman I am helping in this video has PTSD after being kidnapped and held captive as a teenager. She is extremely lucky to be alive after her traumatic ordeal. She also was recently diagnosed with lupus, an autoimmune disorder, that causes her to be fatigued and have tremors among other things. I will be organizing her craft room and creating a space for her to use her Cricut and other things she uses for her online business. She deserves a beautiful and clean space for her crafting as it brings her a lot of joy.
Thank you to all of my awesome viewers who have donated through PayPal and through SuperThanks to help purchase items for the homeowners I help. If you would like to donate to help me buy a dishwasher for the homeowner I am currently helping as her 34-year-old dishwasher was kicked by her soon-to-be-ex-husband and has not worked properly since, you can donate through this link: th-cam.com/users/redirect?even...
Any extra funds will go towards helping other homeowners with things that they need. Thank you so much!!

Wait. You are out there cleaning and organizing for free and the only thing someone can say is that leggings are not pants or jogging pants are out? good grief. Some people just find things to complain about. You do an amazing job no matter what you have on.
Exactly Bonnie is in good shape it’s a jealousy thing you want to wear comfy clothes to clean in not jeans everyone wears these workout pants
So sad that someone would post a comment like that. I've come to realize that human nature does have it pits! You can do two things: if commenting on a channel: Delete ... if you encounter someone with comments like that: say nothing that would give them the opportunity to put you down. I know an 85 YO woman who contradicts every thing I say so I no longer add lib bcuz this will give her the opportunity to contradict me. I change the subject even before she has the breath in her to say something! She was mentally and emotionally abused by her husband so I know that's her way of getting the upper hand...unfortunately, it came too late for her. So, I let her be.🙏
Right, she could show up in a chicken costume for all we care! Actually that would be another good challenge for MMC...
Omgeesh! Really ! People! I just can't! Anywho! Bonnie I think you're doing a great great job! So they can just shut their face as someone else we know would say! Love you sis! Keep on giving and serving!
I think she looks ready to clean! I mean do people not see all the work, the bending, getting down on to the floor, scrubbing, twisting, lifting, seriously gym clothes are SO appropriate because it's a work out!
I love that my nightmare kitchen is bringing more people to you. I noticed that it has more than 200K views now. 🥳 I love all that you did to help this woman. I find it so funny how offended people get about leggings. Just don't look at them if you don't like them. Love you!
?? Who cares about the leggings? I wish I looked as good as she does in them! People are probably jealous.
I know. It's crazy amazing! I'm so grateful. And, yeah, people are funny. 😊
I thought this was interesting. I myself prefer these videos over the other ones.
I loved your collaboration. You guys are my two top cleaners/organizers to watch. And let me say that we should all just wear what makes us happiest and dog dookies to those who find fault.
@@lsheffield6205 my thoughts exactly 😊
I was raised with the idea of if you can’t say anything nice to not say anything at all.
Great job again. The fact that you need to put a disclaimer up tells us that some people are idiots and you are a wonderful person.
Thanks! I live on Okinawa Japan and wish to donate 😊
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!❤️🙏
I was born in Okinawa. Have always wanted to visit. Blessings to you! 😊
I really think a tutu would be so darling on Mac. Cleaning Ballerinas are so cute! 👌 🩰
Yes exactly That woud be wonderfull Lipstick and eyes is colour👗🥿🎶🪠🎄🥂💃👄💅😂😍
Omg... a tutu perfect! Great one!
I’m all in for the chicken suit on Mack!🐓🥚
It is wonderful that your daughter is willing to help you, especially when it is for someone else. You are an awesome person and a fantastic mom.
Thank you so much! I feel very blessed to have great kids.😊💜
Hi Bonnie. It isn’t your leggings that bother her it’s your smoking hot figure! Haters gonna hate! You look great and incredibly fit, she’s jealous. You do you! As far as Mack goes, he’s been a really big slacker IMO since the big collaboration with you and Barbie. I personally liked it when he cleaned and talked his nonsense throughout the video and threw in a spin kick here and there. I hope he gets back to that soon. Preferably in a skirt. I agree with the other commenters, I hope you help Mira with her craft room. You guys have a great rapport and she could surely benefit from your organizational skills. I love watching both of you girls! I hope you have a wonderful week and enjoy the holidays!
You're so cute! That's a very sweet of you to say. Yeah, Mack does need to get back to his spinkicks, and I think they would look amazing with a frilly skirt twirling around him as he does them. 😁❤️
And I'm not sure if you knew, but I am actually going to be helping Mira in her scrapbook room. I can't wait until she gets to that! It will be even more fun because she can be there with me to actually give me some direction on where she wants things so I can organize it the way that she wants and also talk a little bit more about how and why I'm doing certain things where usually I'm not able to show the final result because, to keep the homeowner anonymous, I can only organize it so much and then they have to go through and pare down what they have and get it a bit more organized how they want.
What a wonderful transformation. Collect the money for this lady's dishwasher but advise her not to purchase it until abusive husband is ex-husband or he could wreck it just to be an a-hole! Thanks, Bonnie.
He is actually not allowed to come back to the house unsupervised, so that shouldn't be a problem. I'm so excited to get this for her so she doesn't have to be reminded of him every time she uses the dishwasher. 🤗❤️
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp oh, that's okay then! x
Hello , you don't have to show disclaimer at the beginning of the video. Your cleaning is awesome.
I know, I just want to fight all the people who have left nasty comments to make her add the disclaimer 😅
That looks so much better! Thank you so much for helping my sweet friend and getting that space so much more organized. The kitchen and the craft room both look amazing now! So grateful for you!
Well, thank YOU for being the one to reach out and help her first, and I'm so glad I was close enough that it worked out I could come help you to help her.💜❤️💜💙
Look at you putting so much good into the world and creating safe spaces for that to be shared. Imagine how much you are inspiring others to do what they can in their own worlds. Love this energy!
Thank you.❤️🙏
I totally agree!!!😊
I saw where Mac is now painting a home for some people and plans on even more serious renovations, that man has a lot of talent. I hope you and your family have a nice holiday, enjoy watching your videos!
Isn't that awesome that he painted pretty much an entire house for free?! He has mad painting skills for sure. Even if they were about the most hideous colors... haha! At least the homeowner is happy with it.😅
Oh, Wow! Let's all get Mack. This is going to be fun. I really enjoy watching the organizing. That is harder than cleaning sometimes.
I just have to say, what you are doing is amazing. As someone who suffers from a lot of autoimmune issues and deals with the chronic fatigue and pain, I can totally understand what a relief it is to the people you help. Also, love that you are open about your Autism. My daughter is ten and diagnosed two years ago and I love seeing examples of females especially adults on the spectrum. It helps me understand her more. Love it, thank you so much.
Thank you! I'm sorry you deal with autoimmune issues. That can be a tough road. 😪I'm glad, though, that I can be an example of an adult autistic female for your daughter. I'm so happy that there is more knowledge about autism now, and that it's something that is more talked about. It definitely makes me feel a lot less alone because for the longest time I just felt like something was wrong with me when, in fact, my brain is just wired a little differently. Not good or bad, just atypical. 😊❤️
“Curiosity killed the cleaner” 😂 11:26
😁❤️
What you wear is no ones business. If your comfortable then that's all that matters. Your doing a great job.
You are amazing. The only way I can organize in my small home is to get rid of things. Which I don't want to do! lol But when I do, my dear husband is my cheerleader, so it helps... a little.
As a crafter and though OCD neat, clean and organized in most areas of my life, the craft room is by far the hardest to do. Most projects don’t get done within an hour or two, meals to make, laundry, family, etc so it doesn’t make sense to put everything away each time you’re in there and can appear messy but we know where things are…usually 😂. I keep my supplies in clear shoe boxes with labels and stack them. That way I can easily see what I need. So nice to see your daughter and she’s so much fun like her mom. Bonnie, you are an amazing organizer and love your videos, awesome teamwork ❤. This crafter will love this!
OMGOSH! Thank you for being so open with projects not getting done. I am in the middle of finishing the second part of a crochet top that was suppose to be completed in Spring 2023...Hopefully, I can finish it this Winter and wear it in Spring 2024.
@@mariwillalwaysgivethanks I’m the same way. I have several projects that I’d like to finish. I am disabled, care for my mom with Alzheimer’s and can’t just finish things like I used to. Hopefully this winter I can get some finished too
Yes, I hope with reorganizing this room the woman will be able to find her stuff.
@@GrandmaLM I’m sure she’ll love it or at least have an organized space to reorganize if she needs to
I love your shoes 😍 i will comment under Mac's video for cleaning in a skirt 😂 that would be so hilarious waaah haha . Thank you so much for cleaning the kitchen and for the craft room
When I worked for JoAnns we learned how to roll up fabric and slip a paper around it & tape shut. These were the remnant rolls. I found that for me this is a great way to organize my own smaller bits of fabric. You can see at a glance what you have.
Yes, I like the roll up method as well. That's actually how I do my leggings is I roll them and put them in a tote vertically so I can see at a glance what is there.😊
I think its very strange that someone would be focusing on what your wearing...instead of what your doing to make the world a better place...i feel sad for that person...
I thought that, but I think it was because Bonnie said something about only pants wearer's can subscribe not skirt wearer's, (or something like that). It was a joke that maybe some people didn't get 😆
Mac must be rubbing off on her!
This was actually before the pants-wearing comment from my last video. It was probably like 6 weeks ago on a video where I was cleaning a bathroom. I didn't even delete it because I actually found it funny. A lot of people responded to her, though, because they thought it was so rude. I have definitely had much ruder comments than that.🤷♀️😊
well i am insulted for you...its all fun and games behind the keyboard...i wonder how that person would feel if we saw how she lived and what she wore and chimed in...If everyone could be a little kinder instead of vomitting their opinions what a wonder place. @@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp
I used to have a lot more craft supplies than I do now. I’m 65 years old now and have a shoulder and knee surgery in my near future. I finally realized that my dollhouse(and making the scale miniatures for it) and making simple anniversary and thank you cards were my two favorite craft projects that I do. I sold all the rest (silk flower arrangements,decoupage,stencils,.) at my garage sale and donated what didn’t sell and am SO RELIEVED!!!!!! When you don’t have the time or energy that you used to have,those things seem to taunt and nag at you more than they bring you enjoyment. I hope that she can pick a few favorites like sewing or whatever and let the rest go. The benefit will be that she’ll have more space to enjoy doing the crafts that she loves the most.👏
I took have been focused on figuring out which crafts I actually DO. Not what my fantasy self might do. I left decluttering craft supplies till last - well, of a first round. Always getting rid of more. It is a relief! 🌻🍄
@@KlingonPrincess Fantasy Self,that’s it exactly! And for me (and this woman with Lupus) it’s not going to improve.
Yes! I couldn't agree more. I am also hopeful she will pick out those two or three things that actually still bring her Joy and keep that stuff, but purge the rest. Just gives more space for the things that you still enjoy and can physically do.🤗❤️
And if she does purge, it's nice and organized now for the next potential crafter
Another fantastic transformation. Well done to you all. You are giving this woman a fantastic reset. Wishing her safety, health and happiness. Mary, Joes wife 👏💪👍💐🙏
❤️🙏
That was a lot of stuff. You did a beautiful job of organization!
Thank you so much!
I love how you and the homeowner recognize themselves as empowered survivors now and that they are no longer victims. It takes a while for a survivor to witness this power within themselves.
I agree. She's absolutely amazing!
Love that you and your daughter have a fun relationship!
The problem with all people who go into intense crafting situations is that they don't realise that they can't do it with random home furniture. They need to line the walls on 3 sides with proper floor to ceiling racking that is secured to the walls for safety, to store everything on and have a work bench on the other wall. They get into this mess because there just isn't enough storage space.
Very true. I know she didn't want to put a ton of holes in the wall since she rents this place, but she was told that if she does put up shelves and things, she needs to leave them when she moves out, but I bet some Ikea shelves would work really nicely in this room for her.
Cydnie is so me. I'm so happy she is with you to help clean and learn how to clean. I'm getting the same help from just watching your videos.
I'm so glad!
OMG! When u say u didn't get to everything it kills me bcuz it always looks way more amazing than when u started. Cut urself some slack😅 I'm positive the homeowner is beyond grateful, I know I would b.👏
I love how the craft room turned out.
The before and after are my favorite shots of the videos! I get so invested in the process that I lose focus on how it started. Great job! ❤❤❤
What a lovely transformation! She will enjoy crafting there! Thank you for all you do for others!😊
Woah…I don’t think I would have known where to begin! You did awesome and so nice to see Ymir daughter helping you!
Yes !! Where to start and NOT lose your mind,!!
What a transformation well done team
Your organizational abilities are phenomenal. Thank you for this video.🙂
A great job on the organizing of the craft room, I can imagine how tedious that was, but it came together nicely, wish I could help out on the dish washer but with it getting closer to Christmas, we are involved with doing some other donations to causes. I'm sure this lady appreciated all that you are doing for her.
Thank you! No worries about the dishwasher. We also have things that we try to donate to every year. Merry Christmas to you!
I have a fairly new rainbow, my last one lasted 20 years, I love it!! I also have a cordless shark, a cordless Tineco and a roborock wet/dry lol! Bought all the cordless since I started watching cleaning videos😂 this craft room causes me such anxiety, wow. Kudos to you for tackling this.
You are a wonderful person for helping people for free. I love your videos!
I absolutely love laughing with our two sons…..even if it is at my expense. If we can’t laugh at ourselves, we know others will! 🤷🏻♀️
I'm so with you on the chalk thing; HATE IT! I don't have an autism diagnosis and don't really need one, but the more I learn about it, the more I think I might have it.
Good plan with your helper. There is a 'muscle memory thing' that gets used. My house is clean and organized. My craft room, was not. Every time I do a project, I HAVE to reset the room or it gets completely out of control. I didn't walk in the room for almost a year because I couldn't stand the mess. When I finally braved the room, some days I only put 1 thing away, other days I would clear a foot. It took months to clean & organize. I learned my lesson and clean the room after each project now. I have enough things to last me a decade, but it's organized by type and behind doors so I don't have to look at it :)
The reason your elbow hurts when you use the drill is because of the squeezing motion so if you could tape the trigger up and didn’t have to squeeze it then it won’t hurt your elbow ❤
Love what you do !! I have subscribed to Miras channel, * Peeling away the Clutter * love her sense of humor... so much like mine and my helper/friend !!😁 Will you be helping Mira again ??
Luv Mira's channel
Thank you so much! Yes, I will definitely be helping Mira with her scrapbook room when she gets to that. I may also see if she needs help with anything else because it was so much fun working with her and I love helping people who are working so hard to make changes like she is.
Also, I noticed you are one of my new channel members. Yay! Thank you so much for your support!❤️❤️❤️
We buy and wear clothes that function for the season of life we are in. Keep up your awesome contributions to improving people’s lives. Thank you for discussing neurodiversity.
So fun to see you working with your daughter! Tell her she is a very pretty young woman 💙 X Coline
Hey hello Coline hope to see your next Video in Santa outfit love you .Merry christmas to you too
Thank you, Coline. I will definitely tell her!❤️💜💙
@@petralee8792 Hey!! Merry Christmas to you too!!! 🌲
Beautiful job! I don't do clutter. I would be overwhelmed but my daughter is great at organizing.
Clutter is so much fun to me. It's like a giant puzzle.😁❤️
*pulls sleeve over hand because wood is icky* *then proceeds to put skin irritant all over hands* lolol You're daughter is too cute! Love that you guys can work together so well. :)
It is not the fear that wood will do something to the skin, it is just the feeling. I'm understanding the girl. I have no problems with wood, but I have a deep adversion against silk. I'm grossed out by the clinging, hot, spiderweb-ish touch on my skin. My first and last blouse made of silk I teared apart to get it off from my body asap. I can wear the scratchiest rough wool on my bare skin, but silk - NO!
I love this comment so much!🤣❤️ It is pretty funny the things that people have aversions to and yet have no problems with other stuff that they probably should be more fearful of. We are all just wacky and wonderful!
I get this as well as an autistic person. I just think it's cute. I probably would have done the same thing. lol @@schnetzelschwester
Love watching mother and daughter interacting together! 😀...Kaylee and the wood, you and chalk (soooo with ya on that one)! Remember when we were kids, and the "ceiling" of the cars had this weird fleece-like material on it? Ugh! Giving me the weebie geebies just thinking about it!!!! 😬 I think we are all "dorks" with quirks. 😉🙃🤣 And yes, thanks to Bonnie's help and inspiration, I now have my own dremmel (that's hidden from both the hubs and kids -- haha). 👍 BTW... No such thing as too much fabric, nor too many cardigans! 😂
Don't you love that you get mentioned at least every other video. You're such an integral part of my life.🥰😄
So lovely to see your daughter on your channel! And I love that Cydnie is helping you and also getting some practice in organising. I'm not a natural organiser myself that's one of the reasons I watch videos like yours! Oh my gosh that leggings comment lol....whenever I want to get a lot done I put leggings on. Leggings tell my body and my brain "we mean business today". What a difference you've made to this woman's life, I hope she is able to do some of the things she enjoys now that there is order in her home. I feel that you were meant to come along and give her a helping hand!
I love it! Yes, leggings and a ponytail are the way that my family knows I'm going to be doing some cleaning.😄
Amazing before and after!! Tyfs! May she have many hours of joy herenow!!
Good for your Daughter!! My Daughter is a Carpenter .... Non Traditional but she knew what she wanted to do!
Awesome! I love when women have non-traditional jobs like that. I LOVE woodworking myself. I have built a lot of things, though I taught myself, so I wouldn't call myself a carpenter...haha! Just a fun hobby!
Oh wow! I can't believe the difference! I so need a Bonnie to whip my craftroom into shape. You've done an amazing job as always. Crafty hugs Sarah
Donated and hope she can have a very Merry Christmas!!!!!!!! Thanks for all you do! Hope to see you in Mira's craft room too!
Thank you, Jenny!🙏❤️
Just have to share, I have two sons and one daughter. I always say, “you’re my favorite daughter, you’re my favorite oldest son, and you’re my favorite youngest son” that way everyone is covered as being my favorite child!!!!
Haha...yep, I do that as well!❤️❤️
I bet him saying those comments on his video, is to help your channel’s interactions. This is very kind of the collab’s.
Yes, that was the intention, I know. And it really did help boost my channel growth , so I appreciate him for that. It is fun to have this connection with other TH-camrs who do the same thing and to have a little friendly banter back and forth. Now I'm a little scared of what he might do in return.🤔😅
Thank you Kaylee for helping your Momma🎄🎁❤️ Merry Christmas from Texas 🎄🎁❤️
Wow what an unbelievable transformation! 😊
Donated. I think it’s awesome you want buy a new dishwasher.
I appreciate that so much! This woman I'm helping deserves it for sure. So, thank you. I can't wait to show you what you helped to purchase.🙏
I always think the homeowner should help. So at least they will know where everything is and be able to do it again.
I gave her a little tour of her craft room when I was done just to show her where I had put things and now I hope she goes through and purges some stuff and can further organize the rest and label everything since she has her Cricut and would probably have fun making labels for all these things.😊
Much easier to find the items she needs for each project. Great Job Bonnie ❤🇨🇦
I’ve often asked myself if there is such such a thing as too many craft products. And now I know the answer is yes. Lol well done Bonnie.
😂
Wow! That was a BIG organization project!
You are amazing! The transformation is fabulous. You are a true inspiration
Thank you so much!
The tote organizing was very satisfying! I keep most my stuff in totes, and there's something magical about being able to Tetris a whole catagory of things into one tote 😊
I totally agree!
I always end up with ONE THING that doesn't fit. 🙄
You always do such a great job 😊
Thank you! 😊
When you organize Tisha’s fabric, get comic book boards to wrap the fabric around. There’s a ton of videos on how to organize fabric by wrapping it around comic book boards. I have a hefty stash of fabric and that’s how I organize it.
Someone else mentioned this as well, so I looked up some pictures and I am sold! I just ordered 200. Thank you for the suggestion! I'm now even more excited to organize her fabric!
Amazing difference!
I have a craft room that's just about half the size of this one, and yep. It's totally crowded. Sometimes I walk in, look around, and walk out. And sometimes I walk in, go through some of the clutter, and actually get rid of it. I know, I deserve a medal for that. LOL You do good work - keep going, girl! Glad your daughter is able to help you on some of these jobs. I first discovered your channel when you were doing the kitchen cleanup, which was very inspiring.
😊❤️
Please dont take this the wrong way, but i never even notice what you have on while you're cleaning. To be honest, you're always neat and tidy. Cleaning doesn't require fashion sense. It requires comfort and flexibility. 🤭
You're doing a fantastic job with helping these people... that in itself is a good deed. ❤
Right?! Unless somebody was wearing something super wild to clean in, I probably wouldn't take much notice either. People can be funny about things.🤷♀️😄
Awesome transformation!!!
I went and commented on Mack's channel 🤭🤫 you all are amazing people! Thank you for making great content! Always gives me motivation.
Thanks so much!!
Tak!
Hope you get there before Christmas.
Thank you so much! I have already exceeded what was needed, so extra funds will go to help other homeowners. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you too. May your channel grow in the new year. ❤
Today I sorted through a pile of paperwork in my spare room. Small victories.
Yes!!
Long comment but I'm going for it. I don't know how I stumbled on to your channel but it's mesmerized me for a large part of the day. For reasons that I won't bore anyone with (it was/is a medical issue) I have been in a wheelchair for 8 months and it's permanent. Rehab in a nursing home Easter to July 4th in 2023. Was in the hospital 6 times. Once was an entire 20 mile ambulance ride with no heartbeat. My wonderful husband is more of a stacker than a cleaner. He has been burning the candle at both ends just trying to keep up with my struggles plus he works 50 hours/week. We are older and the man is exhausted and I'm not that wife that complains non-stop. I'm so grateful for him. Yet, can't see our kitchen table or basically any flat surfaces in our house. Exception being a small counter for coffee pot. We can't afford to have someone come in to organize and clean but every room looks like an Amazon delivery truck blew up in it. Totes and sooooo much cardboard. Besides struggling with depression I am so overwhelmed. I allow 2 people inside; my husband and the guy who delivers oxygen or has to do maintenance on my oxygen concentrator. It's very embarrassing and makes me feel worthless. Add to that some weight gain because there's not a lot of exercise happening. I have a lot of medical issues and it just feels like this is my life from now on. Please don't say to just accept it because things will get better. Maybe. Maybe not. How can I motivate myself to get it done. I get in a room thinking 'okay, today's the day'. No can do. Did I mention it's overwhelming and stressful. What I could possibly reach isn't quite as bad as the stuff stacked on it. Stacked items are big boxes of paper towels, toilet tissue, boxes of paper plates, like 500 count boxes, boxes of paper bowls.....stuff I have no storage for and would look worse unboxed and put on the floor. I desperately need positive tips, tricks, advice, creative storage ideas as well as where to find motivation. Negativity won't help me or anyone else.
As for the negative comments, why? Wouldn't your time and energy be better spent NOT watching the video just to be critical or unkind? Get off the internet and go help a neighbor or a friend, play with some kids, make a trip to a nearby nursing home and read to the residents who aren't able, so many things that would make you feel better about yourself instead of being a miserable person that feeds on making others miserable.
Finally. There is an end to my questions and opinions. If you can help in any way thank you.
Your situation sounds pretty overwhelming. I'm sorry for all you're dealing with. 😔
First of all, where do you live? I am in Utah and really am only able to travel about an hour from my home to help people. I'm guessing the chances of you being in Utah are probably slim, but I still ask because there have been so many of my viewers who have expressed a desire to help others in this same way and I wonder if there are any of my viewers who happen to live close to you who could maybe give you some free help. I can ask on my channel Community page whether there is anyone who lives near you. Besides that suggestion, the only other thing I can think of is, as hard as it might be, to ask for help from a friend or family member. I know it's hard to let people see your home when you feel shame or embarrassment about it, but if no one knows you are struggling, then they can't help you. I think most people are pretty willing to help when asked. I know I feel valued and needed when someone asks for help or trusts me enough to share something with me that they are struggling with. So, if you reply with where you live, I can do my best to see if there is anyone out there who can help you, but beyond that, I'm not sure how much more I can really do.
I love seeing the fun you are having with your daughter! It’s wonderful that she is able to help you. I am so impressed with all that you are doing. When l sort & declutter l’ve started labeling my contents so l can actually find what l want to work with, it’s a tremendous unburdening for me, and I don’t go and buy duplicates of what I already have.
I wish we would have had more time here to actually label some stuff. Then again, since she is crafty, she might want to do that herself and make cute labels.
I loved watching the progression of her craft room from a pile to a beautiful work space. It was like magic before my eyes. Watching you and Colleen and Mac and a few others has been so much help. My mom used to tell me that if I was just clean for 15 minutes a day that everything would be better. What she didn't tell me was how to clean for those 15 minutes a day. I don't remember where I heard it but somebody said that concentrate on cleaning say just the dishes for 15 minutes a day and that was like a breakthrough to me. Now it's starting to make sense. And not only am I able to get that done but it's motivating me to also get to some of the other high traffic areas that need to be done and in so doing I am actually learning how to clean. And it's all because of you and the other influencers on TH-cam and I appreciate it so so much, Thank you.
Your comments are so sweet.❤️ I'm so glad you're learning so much. And, just as you are learning a lot from us, you in turn motivate me to keep going. I already adore you because you are so kind.😊🥰❤️
Great job! Love watching you organize so well! ❤
Hello Everyone! Ohhh! I was really looking forward to part 2...I enjoy crafting, mostly crochet projects. But when I need to do a craft project; I always end up doing it on top of the dryer...gotta find me another better spot. I hate plastic bins unless you are using them for storage, but I like things on a shelf on one level so you don't have to fight your way through other items. I rent and although my landlord doesn't restrict me in any way; I don't want to put too many holes on the wall when I leave. Hoping to get some ideas from you! 💝
Amazing work!! I love the results 😮 wow...
Wow…the decisions…amazing how you create order of of total chaos!
You angels ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was browsing after getting overwhelmed trying to organize my crafts and came across this video. It was very helpful although I I have no where near the amount she has as I am just getting started. I love doing anything with wood. I have made bed frames, book shelf’s, nick nack shelf’s, redid old cupboards and end tables to TV stand. But being winter in WI. I need indoor projects. I am really into the towering blocks. Thanks for the great tips
You sound very much like me. Of course I did all that before I started this Channel and now I don't have time to do any of it.😅 I'm determined to get back to doing my wood projects in the spring because I really miss that and sewing.
I LOOOOVE Altras. They’ve been my go to hiking shoes for years.
They're the best! My daughter got me hooked on them!
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp they really are the best!
Super organisation Bonnie! The room looked great when you had finished. Loved seeing your other workers too. ❤😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Yes...rainbow cleaners are still being sold. I have one and it's a great cleaner. It's also an air cleaner which is amazing!!! Dumping the dirty water is very satisfying. Seems right up your ally lol
Bonnie, your daughter is so cute!
Great Job Bonnie!
🎄❄️🎄 Merry Christmas Everyone 🎄❄️🎄
Same to you!🎄🎁❤️
I wanted to say that I can totally relate to the autism thing. My 7 year old is on the spectrum and since having him I question myself about being autistic. Just the other day we were in a busy grocery store and he is spinning to self regulate and I'm right beside him fidgeting in my own way. 😂 The apple doesn't fall far from the tree I guess.
Yes, isn't that interesting how that works? I really had no idea how much genetics played a factor in autism. I'm listening to a podcast right now that talks a lot about that and how it's between like a 40 to 80% chance that, if you are autistic, you will also have an autistic child. So, it's very possible you are as well.
Tack!
Thank you so much! That's very kind of you and will help me to get a new dishwasher for the homeowner I'm helping right now. I really appreciate it!❤️🙏
I really like your voiceovers, you have such a good calming voice! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Oh thank you!😊❤️
I have a Rainbow vacuum and love it! Yes it is a little bulkier but I find it easier to clean up than a vacuum where you dump the bin and it gets all over the place. Great job on this room!
The resident could use some mounted to the wall shelves that go up higher or less stuff. Less stuff is easier and cheaper. Great job sorting it out for her to work on herself
Definitely. I'm with you on the less stuff is the cheaper option and gives a lot more space for the things that she is actually still wanting to do. I'm positive she doesn't still do all of these crafts, so I hope she purges a lot of it.👍
Very satisfying organization!
Wow it looks so much better y'all worked so hard
Mack's a silly fella 😂😂
Mack who?
I can't believe this transformation!
I wear leggings almost everyday! Thank you for helping people. I forwarded a little towards this survivors new dishwasher. I am a survivor as well. Bless you, your family & her. ❤
Leggings are totally pants lol 😂 I do sometimes wear scrub pants depending on the job I'm on (if I think I might get bleach or something on me that may harm my beloved leggings). You do u!! Phenomenal job as always 😊 ps you never need to reply - just want to send my encouragement & help your channel if possible!
Yay for someone else not giving up on skinny jeans! Comfort is more important then whats in style, especially when doing manual labor on this scale.
Also, your idea with Mac and the skirt is hilarious, I'm going to do it! :D
Edit: Did it! Hehehehe!
Yes! Thank you!😄❤️🙏
You’re an Angel. MMC sent me and I subscribed
Aw, thank you so much! I'm so happy you're here!
Thanks!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support. This will help me get that new dishwasher for the homeowner I'm currently helping.❤️🙏
