Clutter chaos

This is the time of year
 when clutter dominates my home

It isn't fun
I need help
I always buy bins
I have lots of bins in my basement
some are filled
some 1/2 filled
some with missing lids

So, I am on the attack

I'm removing clutter
not filling bins with it
I will be making many trips to my GW outlet
I will organize
that is my word
 for 2012

Love this!!!
I found it on Becky's  blog
http://organizingmadefun.blogspot.com/
am I gonna have some fun and hopefully
learn something in the process!


so I hope it helps me
but seriously, anything will!
You really don't understand
if I don't organize it
and donate much of it-

I am honestly afraid if I don't
I will be nominated for the show


and I'm not kidding!

ORGANIZE,
I like the sound of that!
Until later, gotta fly-Claire

I'm partying with Layla!

  1. I so understand. I am trying to do the same thing. I fear becoming a Hoarder. So far though, I have not found any dead cats. So that's a good thing. LOL

  6. I organize my basement and then it's messed up again. Building deep wooden shelves is on my to do list for this year. Good luck, I bet you will feel so much better when you're finished.

    Stop on over and visit me sometime soon.

  7. I'm right there with you on the hoarders thing! I'm still unpacking from my 4th move in one year, luckily I've got a place to unpack for good now! Good luck!

    If your bored check out my blog http://chickenscratchny.blogspot.com/ I'll be posting on my anti-hoarders adventure!

  8. I'm a certified real estate stager and I've gone into houses you wouldn't believe. One home owner had a main floor bedroom they hadn't been able to step one foot inside for eight years because of junk piled to the ceiling. We ran a washer 8 hrs/day for 5 days to clear laundry so a plumber could get in to fix an adjacent bathroom. That'll cure you of hoarding! ha ha ~ Maureen

  12. Organize is the perfect word for any crafter--otherwise we'd drown in our supplies! (At least I would.)

    Too bad each time I drop things off at my thrift store I feel the need to cruise their aisles and see if they have anything I "need".

    I'm enjoying browsing through your archives. Seems like we have several things in common. It's nice to meet another crafter/gardener/mom/wild woman :)

  13. Oh, I so know all about those dreaded "organizing" bins. Part of my "Less in 2012" is removing the clutter. Done is better than perfect ~ so true!! Best wishes in this new year!

  15. Organize is an awesome word....when I chose "time" as my word it was with the hope that I would have a lot of "time" to organize!! : )
    I hope your organizing efforts are successful.

    Thank so much for visiting me today.
