What Do People Have To Say About My Organization Course?
“This course was instrumental in helping me organize my space as well as my time. As a busy mom, I have a better grasp on what my days need to include so that I can enjoy my family rather than spend my time spinning my wheels cleaning up after everyone.”
“The Balanced Home Course helped me to be the “professional organizer” for my family! Simple steps to follow, check lists, printable labels, suggestions and worksheets will keep you on track to successfully maintain your own balanced home.”
“I am pretty sure I have solved more issues with the seven layers and clarity tool than I have in 6 months of therapy!! I think this course is going to help much more than my home. Thanks Amy!!!!”
When I realized I had been overcomplicating the idea of organization, that simplifying was a key component, then things really started to fall into place!”

Props to you Michael!! Wow, these all look fantastic… we can’t wait to try printing some vintage images on book pages. This is such a fun idea for spicing up your holiday decor. Thanks for sharing!
I love the embellished book pages! What a great way to add texture to a project, easy but amazing. And 12 ideas–wowzers!
Wow, this is a really great idea, thanks for sharing it!!
Me personally, I love the butterfly version the most…
Best,
iren
What a great idea!! Thank you, now my wheels are turning.
As always, you are so creative, Michael! My favorites are the pumpkin seed packet vase and the skeleton straw holder!
Oh my gosh – all those ideas are AMAZING!!! I am off to the thrift store to get some books!!!!! LOVE them – thank you for sharing!
Love all these ideas!
Michael-YOU ARE A CRAFTING GENIUS. LOVE THIS!!!!
WIsh I had some new words to use. but love your ideas!! I do have a question though, what type of printer did you use. I have read many blogs on doing this, and they recommend the printer that feeds through the back. My printer the paper has to come from the bottom and go up and around to be printed on. I have been told it will really jam if I try it. Help does anyone know. I am afraid to use my printer, as I can’t afford a new one. thanks
Hi Sheryl – thanks for your sweet comments. My printer feeds both from the back and bottom. I actually feed the paper from the bottom tray and it worked fine for me. I lost the book page once or twice when the tape lost it’s stickiness, but it didn’t hurt my printer in any way.
Hope that helps. :)
Sheryl,
I completely understand the worry over the printer. We are currently without a printer because of the carrage freezing up. And it was only 2 years old but HP tends to have these problems, we’ve since learned, and only last through x amount of prints. Well, enough of my problems. On to yours. One thing you could do is copy the book page using the top copier and THEN send that sheet through the printer with the graphic. That way you are not putting two layers or tape into the printer. And to make your page look official and old, a little of the brown silk flower spray paint on the edges does the trick every time. I’ve even been known to torch the edges. No, not a pyromaniac, just a crafter. Hope this helps. Hope I get a new printer soon.
What a great idea…new follower.
Michael,
I’m sure your sick of us telling you we love you……………..well, maybe not. Who would get sick of that? Not me. Anyway, another set of great ideas. The paper under the cloche..too cute. Inspired by Charm+Graphic Fairy+The Idea Room= Brilliant.
Amy – what a joy to be posting on your amazing site! Thank you so much for the opportunity!
A huge and humbled thanks to all The Idea Room readers! You are all so kind and sweet! Thank you so much for your amazing words and encouragement! You guys and gals rock!!
Thank you so much for agreeing to participate! I just had to share your talents with my readers! :)
Oooooh la la… I am so excited. Well, yes because of the ideas (I especially love the butterflies in the jars) but am thrilled with the cardstock bit. I have printed quite a few images on old book paper but have to try and wrangle my printer to printing on the actual paper. Small pages are a problem and they always jammed when taped to regular paper. But cardstock…. now that just may be the ticket! Thanks for these Michael!
Wow just discovered you Michael via Pintrest and umm….you ROCK!
Most halloween decoration are so cheesy. This is fantastic! So simple, with an amazing impact. Magazine worthy! Great job.
Michael, you’ve done it again! These ideas are fresh, fun, and fantastically easy.
Amy, kudos and thanks to you for featuring Michael’s work. I bet a dinner at his little inn would be absolutely inspiring!
Great ideas.
What fabulous ideas Michael! I want the candlesticks, very cool :)
xoxo, Tanya
Those all look great! Can’t wait to play around with some book pages!
Wow!! I went PIN crazy with this. So many great idea’s that can be used any time of year or occasion. thank you Michael!
I’m not a huge seasonal decorator, but this looks so easy and has such a big impact. I just may have to try this! Thanks Michael. Now, I’m off to check out Inspired by Charm.
Wow! What a bunch of great fall decorating ideas using book pages!! So cute!!
