I just won't do any of the neighbor sites - too much meanness in the world!<br /><br />Company can always get you motivated!! You can come work on my craft room!!<br /><br />Men don't usually get in as much of a hurry to organize or de-clutter as women.

Revamp sewing and craft room.<br /><br />Goal 1 is begun but not finished.<br />Goal 2 is almost done. Nothing like having company to put the craft room back in order!<br /><br />Adding a third goal now, Goal 3. Dust and re-sort items in fluorescent rock room (hubby's room so will take some patience as he is not a neat-nik and I am).

I bet she won't even notice.<br /><br />As far your hubs stuff - GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!!!! Ugh. Maybe you can rearrange in totes or something. My basement is my worst as well.

I've already dropped off one trunkload at the thrift store, and I've started a second pile. I need to go through my closet and my daughter's toybox (wish me luck on THAT!), and then I'll start tackling the nightmare that is our laundry room and then our basement (it's baaaaaaaaaad. The worst part is that it's mostly my husband's stuff, so I'm not sure how effective I can be there. I may end up doing what amounts to a bunch of reorganization of his collection of technology cords that haven't been used since the late 90's, etc). There's something so satisfying about getting rid of the things you don't need.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263897351215100419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-45439113354045133742018-07-31T12:28:20.671-04:002018-07-31T12:28:20.671-04:00So right.

I also replaced some robes and pajamas that were VERY old, worn, and stained. Those went straight in the trash! Almost anything I ever do is a little at a time but over time things do get done! I am refinishing doors in my home- 15 total including closets and front door- one at a time- I am on number 5!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16170218700397945765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-9157007585009546162018-07-31T10:47:38.437-04:002018-07-31T10:47:38.437-04:00Well, you already know we got rid of our freezer. ...Well, you already know we got rid of our freezer.
