Last weekend I posted about things being clean. I do like clean. After my post I was highly motivated and dug right into the second room of my place. I knew I was going to re-organise the whole room and get rid of things that haven't been used. I think one of the best parts of really cleaning stuff out is getting rid of stuff that is just collecting dust!



Here is a shot of most of the room before I started my little project:



The desk area was pretty hideous as well with bills and paperwork I hadn't filed in three months. Yah, I know. Me=LAZY!


The whole project didn't take too long. About four hours later I had relocated my crafting supplies, re-organised the closet and gotten rid of a bunch of junk: two boxes for the goodwill, a box of recycling and a very large bad of trash to be exact. It's not perfect. I need to sell my bike and trainer (anyone in the market? It's basically brand new--about 50 miles on it)


In the end...the floor is completely open, no clutter, no stacks, most of the things along the wall will be mailed by Christmas,...and then there will be even more clean to admire!

Next on my super-cleaning-project-list is the outdoor storage closet...then I'm going to re-organise the laundry area. During this process...I'll be decorating for the holiday season!

Hooray!

Do you guys enjoy cleaning/re-organising and decorating???

Yes Madam. Like you told Ber I think it is in our genes. Once I get started it is so hard for me to quit, but I have to pace myself or I can make myself physically sick.

I have really done quite well this year. Haven't gotten into the mood yet to decorate, but you can bet that I will especially around Thanksgiving.

A.L.: I have another long weekend on the horizon...so I'm hoping to get through the closet outside. I have a number of clothes out there to donate since I'm nearly positive I have outgrown them.

I'm itchin' to do a bit more decorating...we'll see. My budget dictates much of what I do these days.
