What are some of the best comings and goings for my stirring 12-yr-old daughter?
She is very outdoorsy with a lot of punch. She is also awesome at arts and crafts. She had made and sold many jewellry.
She is somewhat of a scatterbrain. Is quite focused on the things she desires to do, but have a hard time keeping her own room tidy. She's smart, funny and clever, but can be sloppy and careless at times.
What's best for her? I really want her to be more organized.
she sounds like me
Im also 12 im not too outdoorsy but ANWAY
see if she would like to take some acting classes!
i started them when i be 10 and it's great!
everyone there is so amazing!
it's like having another relations :)
see if there are some acting day camps or something around your town,also near are sometimes camps in the park,since she likes person outdoors :)
hope i helped!

Is the question of getting her to be less sloppy or to find something for her to do?
appropriate a hobby she enjoys.. lets say sculpture or oils or something.. buy her some "pricy" equipment under the condition that she properly care for it, if not she wont get to enjoy other things she likes at a latter time. It'll allow her to do what she enjoys, keep things tidy and have somewhat responsibility.
Answers: I own found the artsy type to be very, very disorganized and untidy. I'm battling near my almost 12-year-old daughter over this (as I have since she was a toddler).
If possible, move as much stuff out of her room that doesn't absolutely enjoy to be there. I'm an organizer (imagine that!) so we go through her room once every month or two and get rid of stuff she doesn't stipulation or want anymore (from books to art supplies to stuffed animals and clothes). I'd love to give my daughter her own creative space, but our small home doesn't allow for that. That may be something else you can try.
I honestly think it's a losing battle because their creativity overrules everything else contained by their head most of the time. But work with her and hopefully you'll find a happy prevailing conditions. Good luck!

EDIT: Have you looked into any summer camps for her (day camps and overnight camps). A lot of art places have soon summer work shops (we're going to a glassblowing demonstration tomorrow).
The public library sometimes has organization seminars given by those professional organizer ;) ha ha Or, take her to get a book on how to organize her room - and agree to her be responsible to making those changes.
Another trick is to allow her to invite a friend over, but her room has to pass inspection by you first. We do that once a week.
I if truth be told have bins that were on her shelves when she was younger (5 or 6) that I labeled within an attempt to get her to conform. Now I use them in my pantry to hold onions and potatoes. ;)
I'm glad you're not too militant about this. It help to have a sense of humor ;)
ask the 12 yr old what she wants to do -her opinion are more valuable than any you'll find on Yahoo.
