Neat is... as Neat does....

Well now... let me just start with a true confession.      I've never been one with great organizational skills.     Ok , who am I trying to fool here, (myself?)   The truest  confession is............... I've never even had organizational skills.     None that last anyway.... 
Sure,  I get on kicks and organize this and that,    but sooner or later I slip back into my old ways.

Don't get me wrong... my house isn't a pigsty and I don't live like they do on the show Hoarders. ( but I admit I love that show!)   My main issues are with my own personal areas... like... my studio, closet, bathroom counter, my car.... ( the car part is cuz  I vendor at a fleamarket,  so it's kinda the nature of the beast)  but none of it is really  that bad because  I ...   "me , myself and I"   seem to manage just fine.    I think alot of arty folks are just like me....

"Creative Chaos " they say, right?    Really though ... who wouldn't agree that sometimes,   in the thros of  it all...  it's just too hard to stop and  pick up ....  cuz crazy good stuff is still   floowwwinngggg.............

I do know some "arty's"  that are pretty darned organized,  or at least alot more than me.   Oh,  how I admire  them!    This is when I  pretend to be like that.....

 This is Slydog Studio on a "good day"....  notice of my peep in the window! I call her Jezebelle♥ she keeps me company on most days.

And hense... one of   "the" slydogs,  (AxL)  in the foreground....  again,  on an extraordinarily good  pretend day.     This is sooooo not my normal!     Hahaa! It just dawned on me that many of ya'll  may think this (a good day for me)  is a wreck!


Even though  I've made peace with this aspect of me....  I  will still strive to improve this area of my life, on my terms when the notion strikes me.    
I've become very aware and  realize the fact that,   I've been this way my whole life..... and accept this about myself.   I do it  graciously... so as to stop with the inner struggle.     It's really such a non-issue in the big scheme of things.
