Yet people are finding they don’t have the time to print their photos or manage them digitally, so people are becoming increasingly frustrated that they are losing their important memories. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of photos that were printed languish in shoeboxes and home movies are being lost on obsolete media formats. Photos are important and are part of our most cherished possessions because they tell a story. Though we live in an increasingly complex technical world, as human beings we still have the desire to tell a story. One of the important ways we tell our stories is through photos |

Collections memorabilia |

I understand the mentality of a collector. It is a very
long and lonely profession unless you spouse understands it.
Collecting is a compulsion. A collector has no sense of
reality, of money, of time - just one focus. An addiction is
an emotional thing. I will help you display the collection
so you can enjoy them more since you spent so much time
gathering the items. What is old? I will help you determine if the item should be tossed, kept or sold. I can list the item for you on EBay and/or Craig's List after I take pictures of the item

Design services |

I will help you create the room you always wanted using
the 8 steps of interior design: 1. Paint & Architectural moldings 2. Flooring - Tiles / Carpeting / Wood 3. High ticket upholstered furniture and large case goods 4. Window coverings and accent fabrics and area rugs 5. Accent furniture 6. Accessories 7. Lighting 8. Plants Using the Feng Shui principles, I can help you organize your space using the 9 section of the BAGUA - wealth, reputation, relationships, family, health, creativity, knowledge, career and compassion. Remember clutter will clog up your home and will not allow the energy to flow and bring you the good fortune in your life. One of the basic premises of good Feng Shui is that the space (building, room, nature area) is free of unwanted, negative energy. If negative energy resides there, the space cannot be "Feng Shui'd" into a positive space without the techniques of what we call a space clearing. Space clearing starts with Decluttering 2 main elements: Wind: Moves chi (life force) Water: Retains / cultivates When in a room or space and feels good, can breathe, means chi is flowing. Perform space clearing to stop negative energy Use aromatherapy oils, potpourri, smudge dried sage or rosemary Use incense/smoke to purify Clapping in a room is positive energy Design of Home Chinese believe homes that are level, square or rectangle shapes are good. Ponds and steams are positive Landscape so path is curved (straight lines are like daggers) Obstacles at entry are omens Front entry should be open ands airy, feel safe. Slanted ceilings cause headaches when sleep under them Clean lines open spaces allow chi to flow BAGUA consists of earth, metal, fire water, wood. You might be at a loss if you had to define the type of décor you find most appealing: Articulating style can be difficult. But when it comes to decorating, finding furniture and colors that work together―and that you love―is crucial. Finding your distinct decorating style, casual to eclectic―I can help you identify your design "personality" I have noticed an alarming trend: When it comes to decorating, her clients are paying the least attention to their bedrooms, even though they spend a good portion of their time at home in them. "At the end of a long day, it's easy to close your eyes and leave the mess and chaos to be sorted on another day," Cynthia helps her client purge excess furniture, including inherited pieces, and a hodgepodge of styles. Although I stay well within budget, one major splurge set the tone for a calm and elegant sanctuary is usually a new comfortable bed and headboard which becomes the new focal point in the master bedroom. |

Maintenance / Touch up |
Periodic maintenance of the systems I create for you is
an integral facet of the Organized-Your-Life method. I
believe that in order to provide you with the organizational
tools that will last you a lifetime, regular to semi-regular
check-ups, evaluating the effectiveness of the systems
created, and making any necessary adjustments, are key. Your
life and needs change, and I want the systems to change and
grow with you. As with every other step of my process, I
work closely with you to create a customized maintenance
plan that is tailored perfectly to meet your needs and
resources. |

EBay |
 |
For your sellable items and I will
put them on Ebay: - This service includes: Taking pictures of the item - Writing a description - Packaging the item - Getting shipping estimate from the post office - Shipping the item at the post office - I will send you a check for the sale (minus the above costs and EBay listing - charges) I know How to de-clutter and make money by selling items on e-bay. I have done this with many of my clients in the past and I tell all of them it is not worth selling 1 item unless it has a value of $100. I takes time to set up the sale for each item. An AC Nielsen survey from a few years back showed that the average American household has about $2,000 worth of unwanted items that could be sold to generate into cash. I charge my hourly fee, each item takes at least 20 minutes ( photo, description, mail the item to the winning bidder, etc.) E-bay charges 1.6% for the sale and 8.5% for the sales tax. I'm already a power seller and just this year sold a saxophone for a client for $9,300! |
