Here is my Scrapbook/Card Making area:
Very Nice, Very Organized Very Easy to find stuff.... (until I finish a crafty night, then its a mess)
BUT... This is all other craft stuff... Its my supply closet for kids crafts and other fun things... Its in another room (shared by the toy area), when Christmas has come to an end and I've been digging to find stuff.... This is what it looks like:
It seriously looks like the Closet threw up!! It normally doesn't look like this, but by the time I go digging for things I need, it ends up like this... Then I have to put everything back until the next time.... And this past month, its just looks like this... I haven't had the time or energy to put everything back....
Well.... No more!!! I have completed the project I had set out to do....
And what better way to start out 2009 then to find 20 Plastic Shoe Boxes for $20... Yup, Kroger was my friend tonight that helped me complete my task....
Here is the demolition....The take down of stuff, the Avalanche of craft supplies....
And here was the point that Hubby asked if I was done yet??
"Ummm, NO"
I see an empty area... Its looking a little better....OK, maybe not!!

By the way... If you still have magazines from 2004, 2005 & 2006... That you haven't used yet... I don't think you still need them....
Yes, Ladies and Gents... I have been PURGING!!!
My poor sweet Hubby...when he saw what was being tossed out of this room, he decided it was best not to speak to me any longer... he knows that walking away and not touching anything, is the best thing he can do in situations such as these.....
But Look Look Look.......
And I'll show you again, just in case you didn't notice.. *smile*
The bottom totes are actually stacked 2 deep inside that gigantic tote.
The shelves to the right are also cleaned up.. one now holds some Birthday presents I found today while out shopping to last for a few kids parties. The other holds all the stuff that will go in to our next Scrapbook yard sale...Another has a big bag of all of Veg's art work and family momentos from trips and things, along with more painting supplies in bigger containers.
Its all better.... Everything has a home, from Cross stitch to Tissue paper....And look, you can even see the floor in front of the closet!
And yes, I know the carpet is ugly! But at least you can see it now! In all its Ugliness.
So, what is left of my cleaning frenzy of Jan09???... I have to take out the two full bags of garbage from this mess, drop off 4 bags of recyclables... Put a few things away in my bedroom (hubby is sleeping in there right now, so it isn't an option) And bring down some Christmas stuff that was found in the wrong place.
Then I will venture in to using the last of the $1 totes to re-sort Veg's toys into nicer containers... Tomorrow (or today), I will call that room complete!
Then it is on to bills/balancing/filing and sorting receipts for taxes... If by chance I get that done tomorrow also... Then 2009 can officially begin! If not... then it must wait another weekend....
