Default Getting a few things done upstairs...

my closet will begin tomorrow.

Am I the only one that has a closet where less than HALF of the stuff in there is stuff I can actually wear.

Gifts, memorabilia, wedding gown, ironing board, things to be donated, etc... etc...

We have a storage section in dd's closet. About half is her space and half is storage. Dh's remote control airplane that he hasn't flown in, oh, 4 years or so. A puzzle that hasn't been put together for even longer. My wedding dress. Winter coats, two boxes of gold Christmas ornaments I bought for the kids to decorate and never did, but I am keeping because we might.

My closet, the one I share with dh, that is not very big and we have an organizer thing in it that helps hold sweaters, oh and my purses. It's chock full from top to bottom. Clothes I wear, nightgowns I don't. . .but want to. Shoes I do wear, a couple of gifts to give sometime to kids. . .waterguns. LOL Yeah, I've some space like that.

No. She's the closest thing we've had to an easy baby. If we could know that additional ones would be like her, we could probably handle another dozen of 'em...

Nearly done with my closet... re-arranging... donating... etc.

I'm at the point now where it's the "slow, unmotivating" kind of progress.

Yay, Jenn!! And yeah, my closet tends to be the "catch-all" storage place. It's the biggest closet in the house, and we have very little real storage, so it all winds up there.

I'm REALLY hoping to finish it up today. I have a "short shelf" that's up REALLY high... I think it just has extra photos and I DO remember sorting those.. I'll have to check... then I have two small boxes on the floor in one corner... and that's about it ..

I actually have quite a bit of room in there (just in time to start packing away for Christ-mas, right?)
