More About the Author

In 1982 Sandra Felton was a disorganized wife and mom with three kids
and a full time job. Plus a chronically messy house. Desperately seeking
relief from clutter, she sought help from information in books and from friends.
She found the "secrets" that finally worked for her. Sandra's first book, The
Messies Manual unlocked how naturally disorganized people could apply those
secrets successfully to their lives. More books followed. With humor and good
will, sandra reaches out to those she calls Messies with words of hope and with
practical techniques that really work

5.0 out of 5 stars "If Things Were Just Organized, I Could Keep It That Way!", September 30, 2001

By 

"majorsloghome" (Trafalgar, IN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The messies superguide (Paperback)

If you're looking for cleaning tips and helpful hints, flip to the "Time Saver" and "Super Solutions" sections throughout the entire book. If you want to totally revolutionize your way of thinking, take the quiz on page 11 and read the book from cover to cover. I purchased this book as a sophomore in high school looking for tips on how to clean my room. Fourteen years later it remains on my dresser with my dictionary and the Bible. It's that important! like a daily reference guide to sanity. Sandra Felton's words ring true because she herself is a Messie and understands how we think.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally - HOW to decorate!, July 21, 2003

By 

Margaret M. Scheperle "arschep" (Ozark, MO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The messies superguide (Paperback)

This book is as good as all of Sandra Felton's in describing Messies and how to rise up out of it.

But this book has an added bonus in its chapters on decorating. Messies have a hard time pulling beauty out of the mess, even once the mess itself is cleared away. This book describes HOW to gather colors, textures, lines you really like. And then it describes HOW to turn those ideas into reality, as well as HOW to consider easy maintenance and cleaning alternatives to achieve the look.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Cleaning, Decluttering and Organizing Book I have EVER read., December 7, 2006

This review is from: The Messies Superguide (Paperback)

The reason that it's the best is that all of the other books on organization that are out there are great for giving you hints of what to do and how, but they rarely deal with the "Why?" This book has space dedicated to your thinking about your life and why you have a desperate need to hoard and save everything. The steps to freedom from clutter are slow and easy, with a definite lean toward taking a break now and then! There is nothing overwhelming about this book and its approach. Most of us feel overwhelmed enough, thanks!
