End of the Year Cleaning Out

Well, another year is almost behind us. It's hard to believe it's almost 2010. Did you ever think you'd see those numbers as a year? As a child it seemed unimaginable to think we'd ever live to see that year. Since we're taking a break from our school work, I'm on a mission to get my house organized. Since moving 2 months ago things have just gotten stuck somewhere or hidden in a closet. My goal is to get as much of that organized or thrown out as possible. I worked in my kitchen this morning. It's amazing how much you can accomplish when you set your mind to it. I went through my cabinets and put things that didn't have a home in places suited for them. I, also, worked on my desk area. It was terrible! I just needed to declutter it. It only took about 15 minutes and it was done. What are you planning to work on in the new year? Do you have areas that are in need of organization?

Clutter

Clutter...this drives me nuts, but I tend to have lots of it. It's hard for me to throw away things. So therefore, I am constantly in a battle with it. I have come so far in the last several years. I have all the books on how to get rid of things and organize, etc. It's basically a lifestyle change. Today I am spending my time throwing things away and getting rid of junk that's accumulated over the past few months. I'm taking a break from working in the schoolroom/office/sewing room and the playroom. Those are 2 rooms not 4. The school, office and sewing are all in one room. I'll spare showing a picture of my mess. Nobody wants to see that. :)
