Decluttering

Well, today, I threw out all thoughts of going through my house and decluttering in any kind of organizational fashion (yeah right, what was I thinking). And I did the box method. You know what I'm talking about, the keep box, yard sale box, the belongs in another room box, and a trash bag for all the trash. And I didn't start in a room that I'm in all the time, like the kitchen or the den, I started in the room that bothered me the most. The back room of my house. The room that has no real purpose, except for the storage of my many, many sewing and crafting supplies and miscellaneous junk. In other words, the room where everything that doesn't go anywhere gets put.

And right now, it is also the room where we are gathering everything we can to have a yard sale. So as you can probably tell, the room is just jam-packed with stuff. So I went in there with 3 boxes and a trash bag, and I went through every ounce of stuff in there and got rid of quite a bit. Now if that were all I had to do, that would be great, but now I need to go through and organize all the keep stuff, which will be my hope for doing tomorrow. I'm hoping if I can get through in that room, then I can make lots of room for all the yard sale stuff I'm going to have. xxfingers crossedxx

Tomorrow we will be going to church in the morning, and I will spend the rest of the day organizing what I've gone through, while hubby watches the superbowl game.

I'm going to organize the stuff into categories of what all is in the room. From what I can tell I've got:

Fabric

Sewing notions(buttons, thread, elastic, etc)

Embroidery

Crocheting and knitting(needles, hooks, yarn, etc)

Painting supplies

Office and school supplies

And of course all the miscellaneous stuff that doesn't really have a specific category. I'm off to bed for now. More updates on my "mission declutter and organize tomorrow." Have a blessed night!
