Welcome to my 5th official video! ☺️ We took a slight intermission from journaling for some major decluttering and fresh start into the new year 💫 apologies for my audio quality, I’m doing the best I can with what I have but hoping to improve my audio soon 🥹❤️ as always, thanks for being here! - xo, mara 💞
I always start the process of decluttering by putting like items together. This makes it easier to then decide where their home is and then go place it there asap. ❤
My first video with you-loved it. I live in a small space and need to use my desk for day to day life and crafts/planning. I keep it pretty neat but love to watch others organize to keep me motivated. The best part of your video-for me- was seeing your rug. I have the same one! Happy to subscribe. Happy New Year!
Love this! Love that you show the realistic side to having a creative hobby that requires a lot of “things”🤭 it can be so hard to keep it all organised 😅😂 love your space 💕
Love the decluttering and organizing! this is one of my favorite things to watch and do to destress 🥰 The after looks so amazing especially going into the new year! ✨
Thanks Rochelle!! ☺️ it felt so good to have it all clear! although I will say all the fresh space welcomed in new craft messes so current state of my desk definitely does not look like this anymore! 😂🩷
Can I just thank you so much for not using a vacuum to clean out the drawers lol every time I see people do that, I'm just like... There is no way, that is how people really clean the drawers
to be fair, I only ever really use a vacuum to clean out the drawers if there's something I can't quite get and then I'll go through again with a microfiber cloth and my favorite cleaning spray!
Yes but doesn’t ANY young person on TH-cam own a wet washcloth or microfiber cloth to clean,rinse,wring,repeat? Those dry paper towels were like fingernails on a chalkboard!😳😖😵💫(actually,even the ones who use a real cloth,always use it dry! Isn’t anyone being taught how to clean anymore?)
I like that it’s such a realistic cleaning video and that you explain your process. Congrats on powering through! 🎉I would have gotten so overwhelmed with everything on the floor.😂
Omg your craft room reminds me of my own but I think mine is much worse. I’ve been too sick to clean & organize it. Praying that I’m able to tackle it soon.
Hoping you get better soon! ❤️ I love that you have a similar craft room. Mine did not stay clean and organized for long hahah it's a never ending battle!
Love everything about this!!! Can I come journal with u on your desk! You are the best company with the best vibes and that light in the room would be chef's kiss!
I need to do this for my desk area! I had hoped to get it done before new years but I'm not 100% I'll finish it, but this motivated me so much! happy 5th video!!!
thank you ☺️ & yesss glad it could motivate you! You so got this!! Although my desk has already gotten messy since filming this 😂❤️ never ending battle 😅
What a beautiful video! I loved everything about it! I'm following you on IG and I'm so happy you're making TH-cam videos, too ❤! Happy New Year 🎊! To many more videos to come 😊...
Many thanks for the video Mara and Happy new year! I like your desk - and the matching cabinets - where did you get it from ? Can you share the link please ? Many thanks
Love it!! I think you inspired me to take real look at the mess that is my desk! 😂 need to do some organizing. Where did you get that spinny acrylic pen/marker holder?
I Reorganized and decluttered my office yesterday! Now I have room for the 2nd desk/work table we have been NEEDING! Thanks for the inspo ❤❤. Now to see if I get lucky at Marshall’s 😊

Looks great. Only suggestion i have is if his stuff is distracting maybe make a partition wall, maybe one out of shelves (storage for both of u) ❤
Oooo great idea! ☺️

@@mara.mcginnis lol totally understand 🤣that is usually what happens to me as well! it's still always nice even if it was a short amount of time💕
Love this video! I love realistic instead of aspirational decluttering!! Looks like a lovely place to craft now!!
Thank you so much! ❤️ & i’m glad you appreciated the realistic aspect! ☺️

✨I vacuum where there is glitter.... ✨
Was gonna say depends what’s in the drawer.

I like to put small square and rectangular shape tubs in the drawers to contain little stuff
I like that it’s such a realistic cleaning video and that you explain your process. Congrats on powering through! 🎉I would have gotten so overwhelmed with everything on the floor.😂
The way I wanted to give up sooo many times!!! 😂❤️ thank you for appreciating me powering through & the realistic aspect of it 🤭❤️🫶🏼

Happy new year to you too! ☺️ I don’t have a link but they are the Alex drawers from ikea :)
Where is your rug from? It is so adorable!
It's from Amazon! :) I had a few people ask about it so I just put the exact link to the rug in my description box if you ever need it! 🌸
Feeling motivated to tackle my own craft mess. Great video. Where did you get that small lazy susan that you put your pens in on your desk?
I got it from Marshall’s! In the make up organizer section :)
I’d appreciate it if you share the rug link .. I’m obsessed it looks cute
Aw thank you! :) I just put the exact link to the rug in my description box for you! 🌸 let me know if you have trouble finding it!
@I did , thank you 🎀💓

Where did you get those clay kits? I’ve never seen anything like that seems like a fun and less intimidating way to get into clay
They are from Clay moo! :) they’re so fun!!!
Yayyy!!!!❤❤❤
☺️🤭💞💞
Can you tell me what cleaner you were using? Thanks
do you not have issues with the alchohol markers bleeding through? or what materials do you use to colour the thinner colouring books?
@@StephsAntics there is bleed through but to avoid that I put cardstock paper behind each page I color!
New subblie! Love the desk! Do you have a link?
I’m so happy to have you here! ☺️ I don’t have a link but they are the Alex drawers from ikea :)
You live in Portland ? Like Morgan Long ❤❤❤❤
@@O8CanddyCaroll not exactly Portland but a train ride away! ☺️
You are going to catch that poof stool on that rug every time. Partially under the desk, changes the zone as well.
Alcohol markers should not be stored vertically so the ink won’t dry out in one nib as it pools in the opposite one.
I store mine horizontally so the ink doesn't settle down in the tip. They only have one tip.
👍

What is this desk??
