Day 9
If you have time, read the comments our group makes. They give great ideas and are very amusing! Today, getting distracted from paying a bill, I quickly sorted through my "catch-all" drawer and threw out some miniscule pencils, pen tops (missing their pens), a metal nut, and found a hole punch that belongs at school. Now everything in that drawer is usable.

finished sorting through and cleaning off the top shelf of my shelf project. threw away 1 item, put 1 beanie baby in the yard sale pile, and put a couple other items away. 1 shelf down, 4 more to go!
ReplyDelete*jamckeen, you are doing great simplifying! I'm wondering if we should take before and after pictures of some of our "trouble spots."

ReplyDeleteI cleared out about a dozen issues of Better Hones and Gardens magazine from 2006-2007. I love the magazine, but I often have a hard time disposing of the back issues because of the craft ideas, gardening tips, decorating ideas, and recipes. I went through and pulled out the recipe pages that go in the 3 ring binder Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, and the rest went into the trash.
ReplyDeletesorted through shelf #2 while keeping daughter #1 company as she "borrowed" my computer for a while. :) put 1 item in yard sale bag; 1 item in "give away" box; and threw away several more things. took a picture - will put it as my profile pic at some point.
ReplyDeleteHeidi, I am following along and just trying to do the things that you are doing. I was not pleased with the idea of cleaning out the "junk drawer" in my kitchen. It really wasn't that bad. I bought an organizer for it a couple of years ago. I cut apart the labels for each section (i.e. tape, scissors, etc.) Today I excused myself from sticking the labels to the sections where the stuff belongs. (That is too much of a commitment.) I also gave myself permission to keep seasons passes from Kings Dominion from myself & all three boys. They are not useful, but they are beautiful to me. 24 cent postcard stamps and 41 cent stamps are going in my wallet for when I mail odd stuff. I am throwing out old notes of stuff I put in the freezer who knows when. And I put motrin in the pretty little pill container and put it in my purse so it will be there when I need it. Put the safety pins in my purse, too. Whoever needs a safety pin when they're in the kitchen?
