Projects! Yes, doing anything from DIY remodeling to crafts to general minimizing clutter in a drawer or a closet… It gives me a thrill, but you all knew that I was easy…bud, dump, bum…
Tonight’s not so interesting but amazingling having great tangible evidence in quick time of what a little rearranging and organizing is capable of doing. Gosh, I have so much/too much time on my hands; don’t I?
But I digress… here’s a before picture of the nasty embarrassing disaster…:
WOW, sorry that I did that to you! Please forgive?
Well, as we all know in order to achieve order we must purge! And here is my purge:
Nah, I needed some, well most of that stuff, but we all have to admit it was way too stuffed!
So here’s what I did I borrowed baskets from my crafts' drawer that weren’t being used as advantageously as one may think. Seriously, my slide out drawer in the laundry is very large and can be organized fairly easily with all my paints, brushes, hot glue gun and glues etc. not that big a deal, and so that is how I left it for now. After all it’s not like it has a glass window like this latest project does, hmm? I will eventually get back to it… someday! I promise.
Any-who, you will be amazed as I was how fast this little morning project took to accomplish. Sifting through outdated offers, and silly card envelopes from cards that Hubby and I gave each other and never wrote anything on the envelopes thinking that we would find a use for them and never ever did…, even discs with special offers that bit the dust a year or two ago, shame on me!
Don’t worry they all went into the recycling bin, mostly.
Other things were relocated to new and happy homes/locations, so all is well, really!
Well, here’s the finished mini project:
Not too bad but you must realize those baskets are old and wiggly stretched out a wee bit, but I must admit and you must admit too, it does look a whole lot better, hmm? A place for everything and everything in its place!
Now that basket in the center section to the left of my project could use a bit of thinning out of papers, and so next time I will attack that. Meanwhile, the reference side is okay!
Most of these were my text books, yes even the law and psychology; I did study both…but you knew that. Our scaled down bookcase is kept in the guest room but there it takes up most of the wall…Most of our books were distributed between our sons and others are still stored and some were even destroyed by the hurricane…
Speaking of which it appears that we are to stay tuned due to a possible hurricane in the Caribbean that most likely pass over Cuba and could be heading towards Florida by next week a Hurricane Isaac!
Stay tuned; I know we will!This Thursday we could be in that cone of uncertainty!
On that bit of possible excitement coming our way, who needs any of this, really? Anyway, allow me to be the first to wish you a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share all those overages and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
