NEAT PUZZLES product launched

Posted by Isabelle on Thursday, April 29, 2010, In : News 
When my children were younger, my awesome sister-in-law taught me such an easy way to organise their puzzles, that when I realised many of my clients were struggling with the same problem, I hit upon a plan - make the system available to all!

So, Neat Freak is proud to launch the NEAT PUZZLES system that will save you loads of space and money from incomplete puzzles (not to mention eliminate the tantrums when your child can't finish their masterpiece).

I am being tested by technology

Posted by Isabelle on Thursday, February 5, 2009, In : News 
The last four days have been insane in the Neat Freak house as technology has let me down BIG TIME. I cannot believe how much I have come to rely on the internet and email to keep me connected to life!

SO, bottom line, if you don't hear from me for a few ...

About Me


I obviously prefer to be neat and tidy versus disorganised and cluttered. BUT this is a necessity for me as I run two businesses, have two children, and two dogs (oh, and now 2 hamsters)!
