Hi Lucy
Summer was good and productive! Oddly enough a painter is here today starting! The boys moved upstairs in July and joe and I moved downstairs into the boys room. It went great!  The basement play room has been a godsend since the day we set it up (we weren't using 1/3 of our house!) We are now trying to get the nursery completed to have our homework area complete, and i will be able to reclaim my office space for me. Their portable homework stations are up and running, I just am ready for the physical space to be done. Your insight and ideas, as well as your help with the organizing, have been instrumental and I can't thank you enough! I went from paralyzed to implementing this terrific plan after your first visit.If anything arises in the future I will let you know... hope you had a wonderful summer.

Hi Luci,
You are tremendous. A delight to work with. Very friendly, very open and has wonderful ideas and suggestions. You truly love your job and sincerely care about pleasing your clients. I will be recommending you to my friends and family.
Not only did my family visit go wonderfully thanks to you, but I even had my daughters birthday party here. 
It felt so wonderful to be able to have people in without being humiliated by the looks of my house aka my mess!!!!
Anyway, I definitely and desperately need your help to get finished organizing my house. I have enjoyed everything that you have done tremendously and I am so grateful for all of your help. I will get back in touch when we can plan to finish the job. 
You are certainly welcome to contact me toward the end of October so we can figure out a plan. 
Thank you Luci,
Hugs, Barbra P
Hi!
You can afford to organize your home when you start shopping in your own closet. Luci can help you with this and you will feel amazing after she is done.

Hi Luci,
 I have folded all the clothes from the floor and hallway; I am in the 3rd wash right now.  I will work on the socks and start on the other closet in my office (2nd Bdrm) this week.  Then when you come out it is just tweeking the closets.  We can start somewhere else.   
So I am mainaining the momentum.  I have everything in my car for donation and I will drop that off tonight.  
I cannot tell you how good I feel, thank you again for your help.  It is not overwhelming when you see immediate progress like yesterday.
  See you on Saturday.

Hi, Luci asked me if I wouldn't mind acting as a reference on behalf of her services. I am excited to be able to do that for her.
I found Luci through a search on Find My Organizer. I had a very good response from several organizers. Although narrowing down the list was a daunting task, I decided to go with Luci because she was kind in her responses, seemed to have worked with mothers with young children, and her price was one of the most reasonable. I am not disappointed.
Luci had a phone consult with me and made me feel at ease about something that I was very embarrassed about. Once she came by the house, I felt very comfortable with her and she didn't seem uncomfortable with the task at hand. She asked poignant questions and then got right to work. Although she included me in the process, she really didn't need me to get the job done. She was like a little worker bee making everything organized while I went ahead with life (caring for a toddler and an infant and working from home). It was almost as if she wasn't here except that you could see the results of her presence- my house was getting organized.
The best part of working with Luci is that she made me feel that I could be organized. Her tips seemed doable and she said she is willing to go at your pace. I had a party that weekend and guests coming in so we worked very quickly to get to the most important spots and are planning to come back and walk through each of the organizing challenges on my time and budget. She even organized both of my boys' closets and sock drawer, which was something I could not find time to do and was not looking forward to.
I was nervous about spending that kind of money on something that I feel/felt that I should be able to do on my own, but IT WAS/IS WORTH EVERY DIME! I don't feel overwhelmed by my lists of organizing projects that need to get done. I feel like I have a plan and help from someone who knows what they are doing. It also frees up time for me to spend with my kids-which is the most important thing to me right now.
I hope you are able to utilize Luci's services and that it brings you as much peace as it is bringing me. I intend to have her out every month until I'm totally organized and for once I actually believe that's possible.

Hey - My name is Paul and I have used Luci's services for organizing my basement. She was great through the entire process. I was really frustrated with my clutter and had no idea where to start the cleaning process. I truly felt helpless and could not do it because I was really scatter-brained. Luci came to my house and made me feel at ease. She had a vision for a reasonable floor plan and made my basement come together. I had boxes all over the place and miscellaneous crap everywhere. She honed it all in and made my basement functional. I am really happy with how everything turned out and I highly recommend her.

 Dear Luci:
 On behalf of the Illinois PTA, we would like to thank you for presenting the workshop entitled “Organized 4  Learning – It’s Elementary” during our most recent convention .  We had delegates in attendance from many of the districts in our state.  We received some positive feedback regarding this workshop, including the following comments:
 “Liked the  use of visual aids.  Presenter offered good suggestions.”
“Great handouts.  Excellent tips for children and parents.”
“I have enjoyed this session.  Thank you!”
“I learned a lot about how to help my children who are special ed.  Thank you very much.  This information was very helpful to me.  Again, thank you.”
“Excellent presentation!”
 All participants agreed that the workshop did meet their expectations, and that they would recommend this workshop to a friend.
 Thank you so very much for all that you do for our PTA.  We appreciate everything you did to make our Convention a very successful one.
 Kindest Regards, Monet

Luci Gutman asked me to send you an email, and I am happy to do it. Luci has been helping out my folks since last spring. She has been trustworthy, amazingly friendly, (and in fact well-organized!) and has helped my parents through a difficult transition when we realized they were needing more help than my brother and I could easily do for them, as we both live out of town. I know my parents are quite fond of her, and my brother and I have been so grateful to have her help and insight.
Luci, please know, too, that Tom and I are so grateful for all you have done for our folks so far. We were hoping to find someone efficient and thorough, and instead were lucky enough to find a person who was not only that but also caring and sensitive and thoughtful, which has made this difficult year so much easier for all of us.
Thanks as always, Joan
Luci,
My friend was truly wowed. She did ask me how much you cost and she   was surprised that it was much less than she thought. Her kitchen is
immaculate, but her office needs some work so she might be calling you over the summer to help her with that. I have definitely been
recommending you to friends and family. I hope you will get some business from it :) We will probably need you again once we fix up the basement; help with organizing our offices down there, storage, and laundry room.
Thanks again for all you help.

Hi!   Luci has helped me with organization at home and in my office.  I trust her completely. She is versatile, effective at assessing people's needs and prioritizes accordingly. Luci also helped me use "what I had" instead of spending a lot of money on new items. She found someone to come over and assemble a ping pong table for me! Service at its best!   I have recommended Luci to my friends, my mother, my interior decorator's clients,  and to a nearby private school (1,000 students.)   Feel free to call me or email with any questions.

I am so thankful for the plan you gave me. I am finally "unstuck", thawed out, melted. I can do this and you are such a help to me. I am not even going to speculate the whys, I am so happy to be on the way to sanity. I am now officially a Licensed Pastoral Counselor. I am chipping away at this log in my eye in preparation to help others with their specks. I am aware, I can take one baby step at a time. My self esteem is now off the floor along with all of the other things I have picked up. Thank you Lucy!
Blessings, Kelsie

Hi Luci
Wow - only one visit and 6 weeks later my bedroom still looks great. They gave away extra computer monitors with stands at work. So I now have a monitor on a stand. No more balancing act with the books on my desk.
I still have work to do on other places in the house that I can purge. You've given me great tools.
I am so happy in my clean bedroom. I make the bed every day.
One day at a time. And it takes 60 days to create a habit.
Thanks again - You work miracles! Celine

Hi Luci,
Yes I would be happy to put my recommendation into an email.  Here you go!
 I found Luci by going to homeadvisor.com.  Three home organizers called me and Luci not only lived very close to me, but seemed most knowledgeable and friendly when we spoke.  I was in desperate need to get my basement organized.  Our unorganized basement was a source of frustration between my husband and I.  Although it took a few months for me to actually commit and have Luci come to my home and organize my basement, it was well worth it!  On the first day Luci came to my house we spent just under an hour looking at the basement and talking about my needs and hope for the space and then she was off to work.  She took command of the space and by the end of day one had everything organized into groups. 
 On the second day, she came with ideas and pictures of better ways to organize the space and recommended additional items I should purchase.  All of her recommendations were spot on and I appreciated she provided options with cost in mind.  We bought the needed items and in a few hours our basement was transformed! 
Luci gave me great advice and tips and never made me feel 'bad' about the original state of my basement.  My husband and I couldn't be happier with the finished product.  We were raving to neighbors about Luci within hours of her leaving our home on day 2.  I really wish I had called her sooner!!!  She is very professional and a pleasure to work with.
