A New Carnival! Do You Have a Room That's Driving You Bonkers?

I had so much fun doing the book recommendation carnival in March I've been itching to do another carnival. Your recommendations were so awesome! I've got a wonderful summer reading list put together now. I love it! My mom just ordered the fantasy novels that Kimberly recommended. I'll have to borrow them when she's done. I plan on reading each one of the books you all recommended. : )

For the next carnival, I've been inspired by my new organization book, and Lysa TerKeurst's recent blog posts about her bedroom make-over using Wal-Mart purchases (See them here and here ). I am inspired to tackle the area of my house that really and truly has been driving me crazy: The Master Bedroom and Bathroom.

Because I know Pat and I are the only ones seeing that room, our bedroom became a catch-all. It is so easy to close the door and hide any mess. The rest of the house can look good for guests because all the clutter is hidden in our room.

Although it has been driving me bonkers for awhile, I keep putting it off because it seems like a low priority compared to the rest of the house. After seeing Lysa's bedroom transformation, I don't want to put it off any longer. I really want to make our room a clean, nice, cozy place for King Charming and me.

What about you? Is there a house project or a room that you've been putting off, but would love to see organized? If you were really honest with yourself, is there a room that is driving you bonkers? If you don't have a room to work on, do you have a project? Recipe cards a mess? Scrapbooks you haven't touched in ages? A sewing project you wish you would start or finish? Only you know that one place or project that would make you overjoyed to have done.

Here's how our carnival will work this time. Let's be cheerleaders for each other to tackle the room or project we keep putting off and then we can report back how we did. Next Wednesday, we'll check back in with each other for a W.O.W. Report (Within One Week).

Here are the guidelines:

1. Write a post about the room or project you want to work on this week. You can include before pictures if you are brave, but you don't have to!

2. Come up with a few goals that are reasonable to accomplish within one week.

3. Add your name to the Mr. Linky below. In parenthesis next to your name, put the name of the project or room you are posting about. e.g. Becky (Master Bedroom). Then copy and past the link to the INDIVIDUAL POST about this carnival, not your blog's front page, into the URL line. You can email me at everydaybecky@gmail.com if you need help knowing how to do this. * Please remember this step *

4. Go visit the other bloggers who post and offer advice and words of encouragement! We will cheer each other on throughout the week. If you want to do update posts about how it's going, just come back here and add another link. Invite your readers to join in the fun. Feel free to use my Within One Week button at the top of the page by copying and pasting it into your post.

5. On Wednesday, I'll do a blog post titled W.O.W Carnival Results about how I did on my project, and I'll put a new Mr. Linky at the bottom for you to post a link to your own results.

6. As always, you can still participate even if you don't have a blog! Just leave a comment telling us about your project and will cheer you on from the comments section of this post.

7. Check back often for updates and to cheer on the non-bloggers in the comments section.

This is going to be fun! For added inspiration, I'll draw a random winner from the participants next Wednesday to get a $5 Starbucks card so you can have a mocha on me to celebrate all your hard work. Won't this be fun!

I can't wait to see what we get done!
