It's nice to see that someone with your organized, lovely home has a similar process. I can't deal with those questionables one at a time either - I collect the pile in a specified area until my energy builds to the required frustration level. Then I swoop in and work madly until it's gone. After the fact, it does feel like a magnanimous victory. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-56403658063396351022014-09-16T16:22:01.699-04:002014-09-16T16:22:01.699-04:00Well at least many of us can say we're not alo...Well at least many of us can say we're not alone, we're baggers, oh dear. I'm a boxer too if one is available. I recently "organized" all my glassware, candle holders, cloches and whatever in the heck the rest of it is I think I can't live without. First it lived in our front hallway in boxes all organized then it moved by front door. I was working up to asking hubs if I could put it all in his little travel trailer we never use any more. Well at least the hallway is empty now. Now I need to take all the "stuff' shoved in the sewing room, (heaven forbid I need to sew something), so bad can't even walk into the room. It's a very small room anyway, most of you bloggers closets are lots bigger than that room, but it's all I've got for sewing so have to tackle it. Just threw things in there when we started painting living room in early summer. Uh, yeah I know it's almost Fall, what can I say? Half afraid to pile stuff in hallway or heaven knows when stuff will be moved out of hallway. Vicious circle. Think I need to go escape to a thrift store, what do you think? Monica closet? Why not? lol<br />Ok now that I've made excuses, you have inspired me to at least think about cleaning out my sewing room. See what you started?

But it's driving me up the wall to see everything just crammed in a room with no organizational methods! I'm by no means a master of organization, but I can't stand piles and piles of stuff without a place! I'm hoping baby's room is finished enough in the next couple weeks to move things into her room and out of the temporary Monica room! Fingers crossed that your work will inspire some good organizing moods in the very near future!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237410043178523753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-54866627158388243292014-09-15T14:42:21.029-04:002014-09-15T14:42:21.029-04:00Good job!
