Clutter Support Group

I am considering starting a clutter support group - part discussion, part how-to.
It would be fun and upbeat, inspiring, motivating, and a great way to learn how to DIY for the rest of your life. Also considering a class for teens on teen organizing topics, time management, setting goals, etc.
Any thoughts?
Would you be intersted in coming to learn?
Let me know.

Smart Spin - Where to get it

I have heard from several of you who say the Smart Spin is available many places including:
Target
Lowes
Walgreens
Kroger
Just look for it if your interested.
If you buy from the online site, you get a 2nd set free (that's why I did it... even though I paid for shipping)
