operation: CLEAN ROOM Task 1-b

I started off yesterday finishing up with my embellishment drawers. I have come to the realization that I am a ribbon HOARDER! 

Holy Schmo! 

I have old speghetti sauce jars on my desk for my ribbon. They are now filled to overflowing. I needed to create a temporary space for all the rest, so I used one of the empty drawers I had. My fist creative challenge when this room is finished, used at least 3 colors of ribbon on each layout- 

hmmm... okay, that's too far ahead, let me get the room clean FIRST!!

Task #1 is PURGING. 

Current task: Pattern Paper...

 

This bookshelf is awful! Quite embarrassing actually!

The top shelf is the most organized. Cropper Hoppers sorted by Theme- the ones I have a lot of...School, Fall, Halloween, Christmas, 4th of July, Pets...I know there are more up there, but can't think of them all right now. 

The next shelf is FULL of the kids school projects- years of school projects. Organizing this will be one of my last tasks.

Shelf 3 Cropper Hoppers with pattern paper sorted by color, then 2 large ones full of Basic Grey yumminess.
Shelf 4 kits- most of them half used
Shelf 5 & 6 my paper scraps drawers and chipboard pieces and who knows what else...

Then there is this...

 

All the stuff I took off my desk to start Sunday's cleaning task. I started with the paper that is sorted by color. Not too bad if I must say. I did a large purge of paper about a year and a half ago and there wasn't a whole lot left to sort through. The true task is going through all those kit bags and the chair pile and figuring out what to keep.

I am very happy with my process! I emptied 15 bags! 13 of them were kits and 2 were projects that I knew I would not do as a project. All of it put away in it's proper location! WooHoo!!

You know what else I found???

A pile of completed layouts that need to be put away

My project tote with the layouts I was working on 2 weeks ago at our 24 hour crop

8, yes 8, incomplete projects...**blushing** I better work on those... but that's a whole different challenge!

Today was supposed to be continuing on with the paper- 

but I got sucked into the web and facebook and did not get to it. My goal is to have my chair back and available to sit in by Thursday afternoon! I'll keep you posted!
