straight forward and simple September 14, 2008
Reviewer: Jennifer from TX, USA  
I really appreciated the straight forward and simple way the information was presented. I wasn't able to participate in many of the workshop features (my time on the computer is pretty limited with five young kids!), but I still felt like I was able to quickly understand and apply the information to my life in a practical way. Thank you for that!

you just "get it" September 12, 2008
Reviewer: Michelle from Flat Rock, NC  
Aby knows her subject matter and is able to convey it in such a way that you just "get it." I also felt this way with "The Happy Scrapper." I still use my project organization sheets to keep my focus.

I feel like I am really organizing for MY life September 12, 2008
Reviewer: flowersgal from IL, USA  
For the first time EVER, I feel like I am really organizing for MY life not just storing stuff in neat little groupings according to someone else's plan. It helped me greatly to think through things first and evaluate BEFORE getting into action. And, I see that containers make a huge difference in my "feeling" organized but that I need to measure first and know exactly what I want to do with them before I rush out and buy. The plan is mine and I "own" it which helps eliminate my resistance to work it. I'm actually excited to see every step of progress. Who knew that something which has always lived like a "burden" to me could possibly excite me?

I am inspired .. September 12, 2008
Reviewer: Susan Baker from Frisco, TX USA  
Organizing 101 has inspired me to get back on the wagon and move forward in organizing my home for my own personal satisfaction as well as the obvious benefits to my family. I am inspired and know that I have the tools to make it happen. Only I can take the time, put in the work and ultimately enjoy the fruits of my labor.
