  1. Donna/BookTiger says

    Organizing is not really my thing…but if I could I would tackle my spare bedroom and backroom. Both take motivating my hubby since he stacks most things in each. :/

  2. Saundra McKenzie says

    My biggest organization challenge is my bathroom. It is the first thing getting organized this year.

  5. Maryann D. says

    I would love to organize my Kitchen Cabinets this year. My daughter already started helping.

  7. Jackie says

    I would love to organize the office. I want to box up old files and reorganize the file cabinet.
    Thank you!

  10. Julie Wood says

    I want to organize my office space and get rid of stuff that I do not need. I am doing this in 2015! My office at home is going to look amazing after I am done organizing it!

  16. maureen says

    I would love to organize the guest room. it is the extra room in the house and it has all sorts of stuff in it that probably should not.

  17. Dorothy Teel says

    The biggest think that I want to organize in 2015 is my bedroom closet, it is a big closet with a lot of room, but I still just put things in their haphazardly till it gets full, ug.

  20. crystal gibson says

    I need to organize my kitchen cabinets better. One of these days I would like to tackle my daughters bedroom.

    • Sherry Martindale says

      I would love to get our family room completely organized and everything put in its own special place. I think if everything had a certain place it had to be placed in things wouldn’t get lost and it wouldn’t get so messy 🙂
      Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

  28. Kathleen Kelly says

    I will be purging my closet, I have lost 50 lbs and there is not much that fits anymore! I tried signing up for the newsletter but got an error message. Happy New Year!

  32. Meghan says

    I want to organize my son’s bedroom. Sure he’s 8 & that’s probably like trying to nail jello to a wall but I am willing to give the ole college try.

  38. Rebecca Parsons says

    The biggest organization for me is going to be the spare bedroom upstairs. It is a office, spare bedroom and catch all for people in the house that don’t know where something goes!

  45. Sean C says

    I’m looking to tackle the garage. It needs a lot of organization with loads of tools, gardening supplies and the children’s toys. We also use it as a mudroom area and that needs help as well!

  53. Emily Eastmond says

    I will be working on organizing my craft closet. Usually being able to walk in it is enough, but this year I want to know exactly where everything is and have a place for it.

  57. Heide says

    My bedroom, because I would like to decorate it. It’s pretty organized, but lacks personality.

  69. Tina Bornheimer says

    The biggest thing I want to organize in 2015 is the spare room! It has all the “stuff” in it that I want to put on either E-bay or Craigslist or a garage sale … or donate. But it’s just tossed in there and I have no idea what is what. Some stuff is surely stuff I want to keep. But it’s a big job and I just keep putting it off. It has to be done though.

  71. Tina Bornheimer says

    I signed up and confirmed the newsletter at the email address attached to this comment 😉

  72. amy pugmire says

    I want to organize my bills. I am all over the place and have no idea whats do and when?

  77. Alona Y says

    I am definitely going to tackle our basement which is part storage room, laundry room, library and crafting center. Phew!

  78. anne says

    I wish to organize my kitchen. It seems to be the place where everything that doesn’t have a place ends up.

  96. Judy Schechter says

    O.K., so I really need to organize my bedroom and closet, but I’m definitely NOT looking forward to it! But if I win I’d buy bins to help with this endeavor!

  98. Melissa S says

    I need to get my paper situation under control. We have 2 file cabinets full of a lot of paperwork we don’t need. I plan to get rid of a lot and get the rest into one small cabinet.

  102. Jessica O says

    My whole house needs to be organized! The biggest areas are my kids rooms and the kitchen though!

  105. Katrina says

    The biggest things I want to organize are the kids rooms. The whole house could use it, but that would be the biggest thing!

  150. Brandi McAtee (@BrandiMcAtee) says

    I need to organize my kids bedrooms, cause everyone knows they never stay the way we want them too 🙂

  235. Tania B says

    The hardest thing to organize in my house – is my husband. We are yin and yang when it comes to organization. I am naturally organized and need to be, he is all over the place but claims he knows exactly where everything is. Baloney!

  324. Betty C says

    My paper shredder will be getting a workout soon.

    I own a small tutoring business, and I can’t ever seem to keep my office, my tutoring space, or my storage room organized. I’m so busy when I’m there that it doesn’t get done, and when I’m at home, I need to organize my desk for the office, so it seems never-ending. Thanks for the Giveaway
