When I received a copy of Your Spacious Self: Clear Your Clutter and Discover Who You Are by Stephanie Bennett Vogt, it was just the book I needed. I knew I needed to declutter my house, not just to bring order to it, but to bring myself back into balance. If I look around and all I see is clutter, it makes me feel mentally cluttered as well.
The author of the book, Stephanie Bennett Vogt, M.A., is New England’s leading expert in the field of space clearing. Stephanie is the founder of SpaceClear, a private practice dedicated to bringing homes and their occupants back into balance.
Your Spacious Self will help you:
• Identify core beliefs that keep you stuck in old habits.
• Discover the nourishing power of “putting away every day.”
• Learn how clearing a little bit works better than binge-clearing a lot all at once.
• Experience how self care supports release (or real ease).
• Adopt a six-week clearing practice that is easy to modify to fit your needs and busy schedule.
• Start your own clutter clearing support “circle” if you so choose.
• Invite wonder, not worry, into your life.

My biggest clutter spot is my closet. I have a tendency to put things from all the holidays and there is not order to the clothing in there. I also have yarn in there because I figure I’ll use it to knit a project at some point.
my biggest problem is keeping the underneath cubbards in my bathrooms organized…
My biggest clutter challenge is paperwork. We don’t have an office (we’re in a 2 BR apartment and that room is the nursery) so we have no place for office-y papers. We have piles everywhere!

My biggest clutter challenge is my husband. No kidding. Ever heard of the Odd Couple? Well, I am Felix and he is Oscar. But I love him.
My biggest clutter problems are clothes (too many) and gifts. I have a problem getting rid of things that someone gave me even if I don’t have room for it.

paper build up
My biggest challenge is getting the living room clutter taken care of. Everything seems to get dumped there the minute our family walks in the door.

my biggest problem is the spare bedroom, everything gets put there because its out of the way
My biggest challenge is my closet. I clean it out and before I know it, I can’t even open the door again. I just cannot keep it straightened out!
I have many problem areas, but the worst is probably paper clutter. Thanks for the chance.
My biggest Clutter problem is paper. HELP!!!!
My biggest clutter problems are my kitchen cupboards. I have so many kitchen gadgets, but I can’t use them because they are all jumbled together. I need to weed some of them out, so I can put the others to good use.

My biggest clutter problems is my living room. It’s the landing ground.
My biggest clutter area is the attic…I hope to have it all clear of junk and organized someday! I’m working on it but would love your book!
My biggest clutter challenge is not putting things away because that would require several more steps (move this, shelve that, etc), so I just don’t do any of it.
Paper! Medical bills and statements, bank statements, it’s too much.
My biggest problem is my “collecting” I have run out of space
I do not throw away clothes soon enough.
the cellar, we have a storage rack, once something gets put there it never leaves

books and newspapers
My biggest clutter problem is that I am by nature a pack rat. I tend to save everything, thinking it might come in useful someday. Well, if I had my own warehouse, that wouldn’t be a problem, but in my little home that means clutter. Hopefully this book will help. Thank you for the chance to win.
My biggest clutter challenge is that I am afraid to get rid of things that I might need later. Help!
Even though I know I’m not supposed to leave stuff on top of the microwave, somehow all the junk in the house gravitates to it.
My biggest clutter challenge is PAPER! Mail, documents, receipts. I need help!
My biggest clutter challenge is my bedroom. I have no room for my clothes and jewelry!
Daily paperwork. It ends up being mounds of paper to sort… which too often isn’t done in a timely way.
My biggest clutter challenge is our dining room table (pathetic, I know!). The mail ends up there, and the piles just get bigger and bigger.
Paper! I have tons of papers and things to file and I just can’t seem to get started. I think my mother created a packrat in me and I’m afraid to get rid of things for sentimental reasons. Sad.
My biggest clutter challenge is the bedroom. There is just no organization for anything so it just gets piled up everywhere. Thanks for the chance
My closet is so cluttered because I have trouble throwing things away.
Dresser top – finding a happy home for papers is my challent.
dresser – it is hard for me to find a happy home for papers.
My biggest clutter problem seems to be visible everywhere. It is really difficult for me to part with things. Everything has meaning or I may fit into it, or there’s got to be a use for it. I do try to organize, but there is more in the apartment than there is room for.
My biggest clutter problem? Shoes and Paper.
My biggest challenge is to where to start.
I have a lot of stuff that I feel I need, especially in the kitchen, but when space is tight like my apartment is, it’s hard to store all of it and make it look neat!

I can’t keep the kitchen clean. Everything seems to end up there.

Paper, paper and more paper!
my biggest problem is clothes everywhere all over the house
I have a whole drawer in the kitchen full of random papers
We are a family of 5 in a small apartment. My biggest clutter challenge is just knowing where to put things and what to keep. The entertainment center is the cluttter center in the apartment (but the rest of the apartment needs help too!)
My way of storing clothes is awful it always looks cluttered i seem to save everything
Paperwork is my biggest challenge.

My biggest clutter challenge is my office. I guess if I don’t deal with it, I don’t have to face the reality of it.
Our office, which is in a back room in the house, is a catch all for clutter. But the kitchen has to be the one I want to see clean first – it is what visitors would see, with piles and piles of papers.
papers that the kids bring home from school…they are everywhere
My sons toys. I can never get them in order.
honestly, organizing…I get halfway through and then stuff ends up in a pile
this would be a huge help, I hate being disorganized
My biggest challenge is finding enough room for everything- as easy as I find it to let things go, with 7 people there just always seems to be things around.

My biggest clutter problem is PAPER!!!!! I have tons of it that I don’t want to throw away yet I don’t know what to do with it. I have papers stacked up on every flat surface of my house it seems. Any help would be appreciated!!
My biggest clutter challenge is my husband. He has way too many hobbies and gear for our small house, and he is a serious pack-rat.

Mine is our front room, where we have an accumulation of books and magazines that need to be put in order… soon!
My house is very small, with little storage space, so it’s basically wall-to-wall clutter.
Thanks for the giveaway!
clothes have to be my biggest issue too
