ONLINE DECLUTTERING COURSE
For the past several months I have been putting together my Online Organization Course, The Balanced Home. I am excited to teach you my decluttering and cleaning process. These processes also teach you how to create simple routines and cleaning schedules which allow you to naturally maintain your clean and organized home.
No need to hire a professional organizer, or live with the clutter because you will have the skills and learn how to overcome any mental barriers or fears you might have to get started!

- Showing you how to help the other members of your household be on the same page and not “unclean” your home
During the course, we will:
- Show you the process of how to go throughout your home decluttering, cleaning, and organizing. Then you can take this process and go throughout all the rooms in your home–including the bathrooms, kitchen, craft room, home office, basement, entryway, playroom, garage, attic, and all other rooms in your home–cleaning and organizing.
- Clean out and organize not just the rooms themselves, but organization spaces such as closets, shelves, drawers, and bookshelves.
- Learn how to properly use organization equipment, such as bins, drawer organizers, storage bins, food storage containers, lids, and baskets.
The Private Balanced Home Community
(BONUS – Priceless). Provides a community that you can go to whenever you need a place where you…
- Seek inspiration and ideas from others
- Receive support and motivation from others
- Share your successes and see the successes of others as we all work towards finding balance and clarity in our homes.
- Can ask questions and let me know what you may still need help with so that I can continue to cater the course to your needs
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!”

Sounds like a good project to keep the kids busy for awhile. I do like how the scrapbook paper beads turned out. Fun project!

Tip: For longer lasting beads, cover the beads with clear nail polish and let dry. Makes the colors more vibrant, and the beads strong :)
My sister was on a mission trip in Uganda this summer and brought back necklaces that were made this way- except the women there wrap the paper around a pin or needle and the beads are so tight and tiny- it's amazing that they are all hand crafted. The necklaces are so beautiful, but what a wonderful idea to have the kids make them for craft time!
thanks amy,
these are amazing. i am linking you on my blog. thanks!

AWESOME! Was looking for ideas for my afterschool kids and we’re doing this!!!!!!
Such a cute idea!! I uploaded it to my pinterest board for a fun rainy day craft!
“Manly beads”! I love that. Gotta share with my boys…thanks :)
My grandmother who is no longer with us but would have been 102 years old now taught me to make these beads when I was a young child. However, I was shown to use long triangles of wallpaper (no paint involved) and I rolled them on a knitting needle – far more simple I think. I had hours of fun making bracelets and necklaces.
I taught my daughter to make these and I also make a more grown up version of paper beads that I currently sell on Etsy!
I loved these when I was younger and my daughter had a kit to make them. These would make a great craft for an Art Party. Pinning to my Pinterest board. Love your blog!
Could you seal them with the spray Modpodge?
Yes! That would be a great idea!
I was surprised and pleased to see your paper beads. I’m past eighty and many l-o-o-ng years ago when I was a Camp Fire Girl we made the exact same beads! Everything old is new again!!!
