Guess what day it is??? That's right! Tackle-It-Tuesdays, hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom!Whew! I'm pooped!
I had been procrastinating cleaning off and in the writing desk that resides in our bedroom for too long. I had thrown receipts, paperwork, newsletters, pens, pencils, etc...into the three drawers for it to swallow it up like it always does.
Well, last week I re-discovered a box that belonged to my great aunt that was full of her little display-ables.. and I had yet to put them somewhere! So on top of the writing desk they went...to sit for a week and clutter up our room.
Today-I tackled it, and good!
Clutter on top...
Clutter on top and inside! Whew! What a mess!
Closer look inside drawers...had to pull them out and set on the bed just to get into them!
Trivia: there were over 35 pens/pencils in those drawers!
Purging and beginning to organize 'piles' or stuff for separating....
Trivia #2- I found an old cell phone in there from 2 years ago!
I finally moved the trash can closer to me so I could easily purge.... See how full trash can is?
Getting better! Still have to do something with all those chotchkies/chochtskies/chochkeys...
however you spell that word!
And finally....
Cleaned inside and out! I packed up all those 'things' and put them safely away.
Whew! I'm pooped!

What a great job! I need to do some purging of my own. May need to unload a few things on e-bay and/or the Goodwill. :)

Hi Beth Ann :)
Thank you so much for leaving a comment and the complements!!
I need to get organized too, but everytime I start someone wants to look at the house and I have to shove it all back into a cupboard LOL

What a super job you did with that ex-clutter!
I am looking at a lot of areas at our house that are very, very cluttered indeed...that's the first step, looking. Um, I mean, evaluating.
Welcome and way to go on your tackle! I love the before, after and progression pics, they're my favorite thing on Tackle it Tuesday! Thanks for taking the time to share your inspiring journey!
Whew, that looks much better!
Great job! Now that you are finished at your house can you come do mine? LOL
Hugs,

It's amazing how much detritus we collect, isn't it. I might need a bigger garbage can!
Man--I need to do that!
