Our spaces can explode easily when we are busy!  We tend to ignore everything and just throw extra items in a drawer or closet. Yvonne will show participants easy, systematic ways to make this process easier and faster.  She will give tips on how to get ready for the holidays early by organizing rooms.  Participants will also be taught basic Feng Shui that they can use immediately. 

What does Feng Shui have to do with me?  What most everyone doesn’t know is that they do practice some form of these principles.  When you clean your home, get rid of extra stuff and rearrange furniture in comfortable seating arrangements, you are working with these skills.  Yvonne will give you a deeper understanding of these principles that will help set your home up for success. She will also share with you tips on working the holiday decorating that will benefit you well into the new year of 2023.
