I got alot done today.
Cleaned out the cedar chest - recycled
a huge bag of linens, even parted with a rug I made.
Consolidated Christmas leftovers, made
a huge dinner and bean soup from the ham bone.
Started sorting thru my library - give
aways box is half full - undecided box is half full - pulled several books for
ds - started cleaning out a second storage area but decided to tackle that
tomorrow.
scrubbed the vinyl seats on 5 of my new
dining room chairs - and got several layers of dirt off the tops of the backs
too - cleaned a large mushroom sculpture with my kitchen sprayer
sorted thru all the battery
stash
started a box for stuff that belongs
elsewhere (gotta find a home for the light bulbs!)
emptied dishwasher, put away and then
washed new offerings
went shopping for a table cloth for my
new dining room set - plus grocery shopping, returns and a few last minute
bath/body purchases plus picked up script hospital forgot to call in
yesterday. Found really neat tiny drawer storage units at TJ Maxx
- so they jumped in my car and came home with me too.
My passion is scrapbooking and stamping
- great hobbies for a clutter butt! (and I need to see my art supplies to
remember to use them) I have a room dedicated to my crafts - so when I
unpacked my purchases - which I promptly put away - I rearranged my scrapping
area - this included my scrapping desk - all 3 levels - dusted and reorganized
- my 6 ft scrapping table - reorganized/sorted all my art tools (brushes,
stipple brushes, pens, pencils, liquid applique, etc), and sorted paper
and supplies that need to be put away,
I'd keep going but I know I'll pay for
it tomorrow!
This is the latest I've been up in ages
- just started CPAP therapy for Obstructive Sleep apnea - guess it's working
cause I'm not tired and I have much more energy than usual - which is a good
thing cause I start a 2nd job in 2 weeks - which I'll work thru the tax
season.
I want to thank all of you for your
inspiration. I'm tired of living this way - love my stuff but it's time
for a lot of it to go live somewhere else. Because of all of you I've
been reading decluttering books - Organized Chaos is my current read - and
it's helping inspire me too.
Happy New Year to you all - and best to
you and yours.
