January is Get Organized MonthK and local Professional Organizers — Organized Chaos™ and We Can Do That 4U — partnered to offer a free Gift of Organization! The winner received the Gift of Organization of their office and a second room of their choice!
We had a great response! In fact, the response was so great, we couldn't pick just one winner of the Gift of Organization. In the spirit of helping small business owners through this contest, we have also provided links to the winners' websites.
1st place winner Monna Miller, a real estate agent with ReMax, receives the Gift of Organization for her home office AND garage! Unbeknown to Monna, her entry was submitted by her daughter Cheri Durrant. Monna and her husband graciously volunteered their home for storing donations to their church and to The Lord's Hands & Hearts Ministries, Inc., but as a result, have no space left in their garage. Monna's home office will be reorganized to incorporate the FreedomFiler system and to accommodate Monna's hobbies and volunteer activities.
Second and Third Place winners will also receive the FreedomFiler System, as well as consultation services with an action plan for free!
2nd place goes to Mark Navalta of Paciugo Gelato. Mark's wife Beth submitted his office "The Cave" in hopes of helping him get organized for their new Paciugo store, opening in April at the Shops at Legacy in Plano, as well as for his photography passion which he hopes to turn into a business soon as well.
3rd place is Candice McClellin, owner of Sno-to-Go. Candice is not only a small business owner. She is a very busy mother of three youngsters whom she home schools. With her hectic schedule, she hasn't had the time or supplies needed to get her home office organized.
Congratulations to these winners! Below is the slideshow of the before and after transformation of 1st-place winner Monna Miller's garage.
