Junk in the Trunk (er, I mean drawer)

I have been challenged by a fellow blogger to a 21 day "Get Organized" Challenge.  I love being organized. Well, I love the IDEA of being organized. Almost as much as I love the IDEA of being on time everywhere we go. It's just the making it happen consistently with 6 people living in 1 space. Not to mention my ongoing "projects".......and I did say not to mention them so.....we won't ;)

Basically the challenge goes like this: Every day for the next 21 days (with the exception of Sunday's) she posts a new challenge to complete within the next 24 hours (or longer if necessary). I then take a before pic to post(Eeeek!), complete the task and then post the after pic of my results. If nothing else I will have started the 2011 with 21 organized spaces in my home. Honestly, I don't like the idea of showing "my mess" but I don't back down from a challenge well either. So here it goes....

Day 1 a.k.a Junk in the Trunk  Drawer
Eeeek!
This is my before.  This is the one drawer that we ALL drop our misc stuff in. It. is. scary. We're talking monsters in the bed, don't really know how long it's been since I've seen the back of the drawer scary. I may have been known to do an arm sweep of the counter into this drawer in panic over the ring of an unexpected doorbell kind of s.c.a.r.y. I will never admit to it ...but it may have happened (more than once) I will not back down from a challenge.... so I dumped it all in a basket and sat myself down to sort said "junk" and most of it was just that.


And the After.........

...............(insert *angels singing* here)

Much prettier now.
I think I'm going to enjoy the next 20 days!

    This makes me want to dust off Making a Happy Home Monday! I might just do it! If I do, you are invited to join me. :)

  4. Dust it off LL!! I will be doing this all month. It hurts my pride a little to actually photograph it but it DOES make for happier living so I think I'l keep at it. In fact I have a couple most posts to put up soon. ;)
