• Wednesday, February 1, 2006 - I'm in organizing heaven!!!!

Posted in Organizing

     I am doing so well!!!! I love God's grace! I have a big gathering coming up and I've been trying to cut down on the clutter (all of it didn't need to be thrown away, just organized). I had about seven major clutter areas that just drove me crazy becuase I coudln't do anything with them doe to a lack of somewhere to put it. So God gave me ideas to use what we have an abundance of, boxes (we were supposed to be moving so we accumulated a LOT of boxes)! I cut off the tops and made dividers in my bookcase for those magazines I talked about before. I used the boxes without the tops for organizing the stuff on our bathroom counter (we have a long counter but no cupboards to put anything in). I got my husband's approval to take one shelf of his stuff and throw it in a box so I had a place to put everything from the couch and other cluttered places. I also have a box for catalogs I get. I'm making sure to throw away the previous catalog when I get the new one.

     It feels so good to be organized!!! Now when I want to put something somewhere I can go to that place and stick it in there!!! It's so freeing!!!!  I've made it to oraginzers' heaven! I have our gathering on Saturday to thank for it. Imma celebrate!!!!

• Monday, August 22, 2005 - Organizing Magazines...hmmm....

Posted in Organizing
      This is for everyone. I NEED HELP ORGANIZING MY MAGAZINES!!! I just have them piled up on a shelf on my bookcase. As I look at them I think to myself, 'there has got to be a better way...'. I can't see the titles and all of the different types of magazines I have are just piled up in the same place together. All of one type are together but after one kind is another kind right on top of it. I ask for help. There has to be someone here who knows how to do this. All I came up with was getting a big, plastic (translucent) box that has a space between the front of the box and the inside. I was thinking I can slide a magazine down there so that I'd be able to see the cover and know what magazines are in that box. My problem is, I don't think they make boxes like that (maybe at a Boxes-R-Us store but I don't think there are any around here) and I don't know how to make one (at least not yet). Please help!!!
