get organize


“get organized” is on top of my resolution this year which is kind of impossible when I’m hauling junk (read treasure) in my house every other day that I go thrifting. I think I’m off to a great start though, all weekend I resisted the urge to go to a half off New Year sales and this weekend hubby made a giant shelving system in the garage for my shipping supplies. All of my shipping boxes were sorted by sizes on the shelf, bubbles and peanuts are all neatly packed in boxes. What a relief to see them finally in order instead of looking like a Mt. Rainier of shipping supplies next to my van. I also sorted my inventory room and packed the what-was-I-thinking-purchases and donated it back to Goodwill. It’s a crazy cycle I tell ya.

I even managed to clean up my desk and put away the tree. Hopefully the motivation continues to take down the lights outside the house.

Oh, and the filing boxes in the photo will be up in the shop this week.

  1. Yay for organization! I organize my shipping boxes then flip through them like a mad person looking for the perfect size and end up back where I started. : ) Fortunately, I mostly ship in envelopes. Nice photo!

  2. OMG! I am so glad to read that even you (my guru thrifter friend) has "what was I thinking" purchases that you re-donate!!! In my case I also have the "how the he@# didn't I see that crack/chip/mark?" purchases and the "wow, so it isn't old after all" purchases. Gotta love that thriftin' fever :)

  5. Sounds like a good start! I have a mini mountain of shipping supplies in my office. :( And oh yes, the what-was-I-thinking pile!! Full of unfortunate things. It's hard for me to redonate them, but I eventually will!
