"Sundays are my day to say thank you to everyone who stops by, leaves a comment, sends me a personal email, forgives me when I don't email back right away or when I'm still trying to catch up, shares a thought, shares a picture, or just peeks in while blogging on the fly. No matter when or how you visit...I'm just happy you came by."
This weeks little giftie is Martha Stewart's book on organizing. I just found this yesterday at a consignment shop for $1.00. I know...double sacrilege...first Martha in a consignment shop and second, only for a dollar. I just had to pick this up. I already have this book (from another consignment find). My is all swollen and wrinkled from the great basement flood we had last fall, but it's still great and I can read it.
So, here is the book up for grabs this week. It looks brand new. The spine and pages don't even have any wrinkles in them. The only thing is a little dog ear fold in the cover on the bottom right. See it down there in the picture? No biggie, because the book is beautiful.
Here are some pictures of the pages. The last one is the copy right date. It's from 2001, but the organizing ideas are timeless.
I bet Martha would love your "Tool Time Tuesdays" on your blog and would love to go shopping at Home Depot with you!! Okay...throw my name in the hat for this one. I could certainly use some organizing tips!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great book...even if I don't win, it was great to look at the pictures you shared! Can't believe I never heard of this one!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen this book before...it's looks really interesting...
ReplyDeleteWe are looking to downsize so this would really help a lot...
Karen, this looks like such a great book. It would be a wonderful to have help when we move into our new home :-) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to have this book. I'm a huge Martha fan (and a huge organizing fan...if I could only teach the man to keep up with what I set up )
ReplyDeleteI think you can never have too many organizing tips! That books looks fabulous!

ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing find! And, how cool that Dawn won the last one! I follow her blog too~
ReplyDeleteI love Martha. I found one of her first ones at the thrift store, I remember seeing it in a store when it first came out and I drooled over it. She has wonderful ideas that can be such a springboard for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI love Martha Stewart! I can't believe you found it for $1!
ReplyDeleteWow you are really on a blog-a-thon.... I can always use help in organizing.... and re-organizing.... Have a great week.

ReplyDeleteDarling I think you should write a book about your studio! You are great with your tips and ideas... hmmm... not just studios... how about a book on TTT? You'd be on everyone's bookshelf for sure! :-)
Food for thought hey?!!
Wishing you a happy week ahead!
Warm wishes and hugs in abundance!

great book, just what I need.:)
ReplyDeleteGreat-looking book! I would love for this for the thread rack alone :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous book, and what a great idea to give something away every week. I love your tool-time Tuesday. It reminds me of a show Iused to watch on DIY Network (I can't recall the name now, because it was years ago, but there was someone who always could transform the mundane into something useful and beautiful).
ReplyDeleteI found you through Kathie from Inspired by Antique quilts. Really enjoyed my visit here. I will be back!

I could really use some organization in my life - sure hope you pick me! Thanks, Karen!
ReplyDeleteI could probably get organized if I had Martha's staff. However, I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen so maybe the book is the next best thing. Please count me in.
ReplyDeletewhat a find...and for $1...that's an organized person's dream come true!
ReplyDeleteWow, I just love Martha! (my hubby gives me a very hard time over Martha) That's such a nice giveaway! I know I could certainly use some organization:)
ReplyDeleteGreat book! Saw it at the library one day but didn't take it out ;then it went missing. Darn!!( or words to that effect)
ReplyDeleteI have my fingers crossed for this one! Thanks for your generosity yet again!
ReplyDeleteWhat a find! I would LOVE this book. Heaven knows I need some organizational HELP!
ReplyDeleteThis book looks wonderful! I think I need to find a copy of it!
ReplyDeleteWho couldn't use more organization? Count me in - Martha rocks.

What a super book with inspiration how to store things, I love to join your great give away! Thnks for organizing this
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! I made your over-the-door Christmas card displayer this past Christmas and love all your ideas and creativity. Organization is always a challenge for me, so I would love to win this book!
ReplyDeleteI am currently trying to reclaim my bedrooms, not because the kids have moved out ( I don't have any) but because for months, I've just shoved everything that was in my way into them. This book could well be the serious inspiration I need to continue the quest!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and always check in on Tuesdays for your tool post...Great ideas!

So many great ideas to be found in this book, I really like the thread spool holder. If you saw what my studio looks like right now, you would know I need this book!
ReplyDeleteA very cool book and gosh knows I need some organizing in my sewing room! Thanks Karen once again!
ReplyDeleteOne of these days I'll get organized! Winning this book might just help! I'll have to check back next Sunday to see who won.

ReplyDeleteThis would be great to have. If all goes well and we don't have a heavy monsoon season this year, I hope to be in our new house by fall and will be organizing a brand new quilt studio. Oh boy, can't wait. But I do need all the help I can get.
ReplyDeleteI've just discovered your blog and I'm finding the marvelous pictures of your sewing room really helpful as I try to organize mine. Do please throw my name in the hat, and thanks!
ReplyDeleteWonderful ideas...please enter me in the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI can always use more ideas for organizing, Karen! Great gift!
ReplyDeleteOrganization what's that???? If I win this fantastic book maybe I will find out and get organized....if you only knew how unorganized I am, so my fingers are crossed little prayer said now sit & wait thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat book. Right now I'm in need of help. I'm usually pretty good with organization, but I'm fresh out of ideas.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great idea's. I'm always looking for new and better ways to organize my sewing workshop.
ReplyDeleteMaria
Oh yeah, I could use some organizing! Doubt that even Martha could help me though. Love, love your TTT!!!!!
