  • Founder of OrganizingLA to Lunch with Celebrity Green Advocates on Wednesday

    Adriannecurrychrisknight

    We've been so busy working with organizing clients the past two months (and doing some physical therapy for my fall last February) that we completely forgot that our Green Plug "What's Under Your Desk" lunch is on Wednesday!  As the winner of the sweepstakes, yours truly will be helping himself to a fabulous lunch with two Hollywood eco-expert celebrities.

    We've attached the press release from Green Plug.  If you have a "green" question for Christopher Knight or Adrianne Curry, post it in the comments section below and we'll see if we can get them answered.

  • Hecht Of An Organizer – Winners Announced!

    Memorial Day

    Happy day-after Memorial Day.

    We honored Memorial Day by hosting 5 dozen friends and family for a Hawaiian-style poolside luau, complete with tiki torches, pineapple chicken, a volcano, silk flower leis and music from Don Ho.   We even had some impromptu hula dancing, grass skirts and coconut shell bikinis tossed into the mix.  Islanders played water volleyball in the "lagoon."  Limbos were not allowed (John is still recovering from his fractured foot) as was fire-eating.  Such much fun and a nice departure from what we normally do with a beach theme, or red, white or blue.  What did you do this weekend?

    Well, there's a different kind of celebration going on today, because we're announcing the winners of our Hecht of an Organizer giveaway.  The winners of the giveaway are:

    • Julia Wilson, Carrollton, Georgia
    • Kim Jaeger, Columbus, Ohio

    Linda Hecht, the inventor of the products was so thrilled with our response (over 32 entries) that she is giving us an additional product.  That's generous.  Each winner will receive one Hecht of an Organizer in the color of their choice.

    "What a great idea, and it's green, as well! I would use this organizer as my portable "office" for my upcoming kitchen remodel. I need one place for idea files, receipts, and all those bulky tile and counter-top samples. I could keep this in my car and easily have everything near as I'm out comparing and gathering new ideas/samples."  —Julia Wilson

    "I am a Professional Organizer in Columbus, OH.  I've heard of this product and would love to give these as gifts to clients! I have a smaller version that is a sentimental favorite (a gift) and my clients always want one.  I would like to test drive the larger version.I have recommended this product as similar to mine but I would love to order them in bulk and distribute as holiday gifts if nothing else!  Cheers!"  — Kim Jaeger

    Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter the giveaway.  Stay in touch for more organizing products contests and you could be the next winner.

    So what did you do this past weekend?

  • Hecht Of An Organizer 2.0 – Giveaway!

    Hecht_royal_blue_organizer_2 

    OrganizingLA Blog and Hecht of an Organizer are teaming up this week to give away one organizer (valued at $35.00) to a lucky blog reader.

    To submit an entry, all you have to do is post a comment of value telling us how you'd use the organizer should you win.  We'll select a winner at random and contact via email.  Keep reading the comments, because the inventor herself will be monitoring and responding to comments as necessary.

    Linda_hechtWinner of a 2008 Los Angeles Organizing Award "The Green Award for Most Eco-friendly Organizing Product," inventor Linda Hecht (accepting her award last February) has one helluva product.

    Linda told us this weekend how far the positive impact from her Award reached.

    "Local cities around Indianapolis heard about our Los Angeles Organizing Award and began purchasing the organizers for their city police, fire and other city head departments.  The City of Greencastle, Indiana was the first to get their city organized while going green.  The Clerk – Treasurer then shared it with INDOT (Indiana Dept. of Transportation) who is now making Hecht Of An Organizer units available to their employees.  Other cities in Indiana are also following suit.  I am amazed at the sales and even more excited about the new 2.0 design improvements we've completed in just the past two weeks."
