⭐️ 𝗝𝗔𝗡𝗨𝗔𝗥𝗬 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗘: I absolutely LOVE to start the year with a clean slate, and that includes my desk/workspace! (In fact, I've been rearranging for several days already!) If you're like me and you're more productive when your desk is in order, here's a fun challenge we can do together!

⭐️ Julie and I invite you to join our first 2025 challenge -- 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 13𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀 "𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗢𝗳𝗳 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗸 𝗗𝗮𝘆!" ⭐️

f you like, 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘱𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘤. Be sure to create a fun “𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿” shot and post it in our Facebook Group 𝗧𝗣𝗧 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀, 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘺, 𝘑𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘺 10𝘵𝘩. (𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘱, 𝘴𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘯 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘺.)

If we get 10 posts, (not counting mine and Julie's!) one of our clean-desk-makeover-artists will win a $10 TPT gift card (using Wheel of Names for a random winner selection).

𝙒𝙚'𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪!!
