Hello Cheapskaters,
Every year when we pack the Christmas decorations away I vow to get them sorted and tidied up, and every year they just get packed away in the same boxes and cartons they came out of. There are decorations there from when I was in Prep! Yes, I still have the little blue bird Miss Danke gave me at the end of my Prep year. And then there are all the macaroni angels the kids made in primary school. And the baubles they were given for their first Christmas, and the patchwork ornaments I made one year. Throw in the tinsel and garlands and the lights and we have decorations enough for a dozen Christmas trees.
The boxes look tidy on the outside, but every year when it's time to pack up the Christmas tree and decorations I am always too busy to take the time to sort and organise and pass on or toss. And so the mess continues year after year.
Well it's coming to an end! During this month long Clear the Clutter Challenge my main goal is to get the Christmas decorations sorted, tidied and organised. I've collected boxes, labels, masking tape, scissors and paper towel tubes. I have all the tools I need to get everything back into order.
And so it's all out. All over the loungeroom floor. And it will be done! I have a deadline - next week the card ladies will be here and they need the space!
I love being organised. It keeps me sane. It helps me get through the chores and tasks that I must each day, and I am loving this challenge.
Have a great month everyone and have fun clearing the clutter!
