so many things to do

A whole new year, so many possibilities!  I am sitting here wondering what to do first on my list of things to get to.  There are rooms in my house to declutter and reorganize...purge and clean!  I like to do this after the holidays, for some reason I'm always more motivated after the tree is down and my house looks like I have so much more room! 


 I have a craft room and a work room to go through and thin out.  I can't wait to see what all I have, some of it's been buried for so long!  In my craft room, I have drawers full of stamps, racks and boxes full of paper, containers bursting with embellishments, so many ribbons, flowers, adhesives, stickers, diecuts, and more.  Things that I have so many of, too many of, and duplicates of.  Items I plan on putting in my Scrappinrens Supplies shop on Etsy!  So I get to clean out and reorganize, and someone else will get to get some great deals!  Keep an eye on my shop on the sidebar to the right and get some fun deals for your own scrapbooking and card making....


In my work room, I have sooo many organizing ideas to put to work for my things to make my shop running a lot more smooth.  Redoing the way that I have my products stored, the way I store my supplies in there that will make it quicker to access and put away when I'm done with them.  I may even find a few supplies in there to list!


As far as the rest of the house goes, some things I've already started on.  in the kitchen (which is huge) I have already cleaned out some cupboards....emptying, washing down shelves and purging things, then reorganizing back into order.  I've done my baking shelf, my pantry and my cookie sheet cupboard.  I know it doesn't sound like much, but the pantry is deep and has many shelves and was it a relief to get it done!  I love that I can open it up and find what I want now instead of shoving aside cans and boxes to find what I want!


Next I'm going to start working on some drawers in the kitchen and I'll post some of my organizing pictures as I do it.  I have some ideas for my drawer full of plastic ware,so I'll get to that one first.


As for other things, there are so many to begin, that it would take a whole other post.  The ones listed are only beginnings of a whole lot of household room redoing that I plan on working on.  I'm so happy with what I have done so far that I'm excited to get to the next thing! 


In my vintage store, I have more things to list than I can think of, which is wonderful, I just need to get more time to list.  I have rooms full of boxes to go through and list, and I really hope I will have more organized time to do that.  My vintage items are so much fun for me, it's one of my hobbies and I love searching for them and finding neat old things!  Especially things with a purpose, you know...some item that a housewife may have used to actually use in running her household years ago.


And last, but certainly not least, I will be posting more often.  This is a picture of one of my little elves on my elf tree.  He does look a little mischievous, don't you think?   Happy New Year!!

Still Here

After all this time, I am still here.  I forgot my email this blog is linked to, forgot my password, too.  So many things I wanted to post about, but no access.  Now, today I come on here to close it up, and I am signed in.  Hmm...how did I do that?  And will it stay that way so I can post again?
