Spring Cleaning Challenge #SpringCleaning12

Heather says:

A few weeks ago I asked if anyone would be interested in participating in a spring cleaning challenge and to my surprise there was a positive response. I don't know why I was surprised, I mean I sort of write about cleaning almost every single day, when I'm not writing about food, but you never know what's going to resonate. Christine from iDreamofClean has put together a pretty neat challenge to help get you excited about spring cleaning.

Do you know how thankful I am for Christine's organizational skills right about now? Let's just say I'd have drowned sometime last week if I were putting this together. So Christine, here's to you!

Starting March 20th you'll have two weeks to work on and share about your spring cleaning project. You'll either write a post or share pictures of what you've accomplished in a linky over on iDreamofClean. This linky will be open for two weeks and then the winners will be drawn and announced.

This spring cleaning challenge is open to all Home Ec 101 readers (and readers of all of the other sites in the challenge) who want to participate. You do not have to have a blog, you can use a Flickr or G account, if you are not a blogger. So please don't stop reading yet.

If you use Twitter, follow and use the hashtag #SpringCleaning12 to keep up with other participants and share your progress. If you want to help promote the Spring Cleaning Challenge, feel free to tweet something like:  I'm joining the #SpringCleaning12 Challenge w/ @iDreamofClean and hope to get a washer/dryer from @GE_Appliances! http://wp.me/p125qV-1h7
