Soooo Busy!
This has been an interesting week.
A new keyboard arrived and I no longer have “r” issues!!!!!
The cast came off and I was given a prescription for some type of anti inflammatory for bursitis that has settled into the injured areas.
I’ve chiseled away at my closet project and it’s near completion.
BeforeThanks to the help of THESE
The wasted space above my hangers has now been made more useful.
AfterI really like the colors of black, white, and shocking pink together. Having colors I enjoy, makes the project of the neat, tidy boxes even more appealing to look at.
I have to post the before and after pictures, for the full effect!!!
Ugly shelves BEFORE
All of these things are now in boxes or in the trash!That stuff is what is in the pretty boxes up high. I keep a small step stool in my closet.
THESE shelves, now look like
THESE Shelves AFTERCan you see my hanging bag of shoes to the left of the shelves?
MY short sleeve and long sleeve t-shirts are in two piles, now, and on two shelves.
Short sleeves T-shirts
Long sleeve t-shirts.
Not only does my closet look tidy, but my sweaters aren’t cramped on the rod and getting hanger bumps in the shoulders! They and my t-shirts are neatly folded on the white shelves.
The sweaters are light weight on one shelf
to heavy weight on the shelf below.And, the cardigan sweaters are hung on the rod with heavy, thick hangers that should, hopefully, prevent hanger pokes!
I need to work on folding the sweaters a little more narrow so there is room for two piles on each shelf. But, at least they are easy to get to and sorted by weight.
A couple more projects for the future are:
* Clean off the top of the refrigerator
* Clean the linen shelf in the indoor pantry. I’m sure many things can be thrown away!
* Clean the hall linen and medicine closet
* Clean the formal linen and seasonal crafts closet in Rissy’s room
* Sort my pictures (already in bags, sorted by the year) & put in photo albums
* Take old, old, OLD files from inside desk file drawers and move to outside file cabinets.I’m sure many other things will pop up, but that’s a good enough list to keep me busy for a while!
Be Blessed ~

I know how much work it is to clean out closets!! I love your organizational boxes.
Doesn’t it feel so good to have things orderly?

i need you to come to my house! my closets are a mess~ i go through phases of organizing them, but they don’t seem to ever STAY that way!
i think it would help if i got some pretty boxes.. 
@grace_to_be - Silly girl! LOL!!!!!!!!! Why do you think I bought pretty boxes????? My closets have been a mess for the longest time and I needed a really fantastic goal to make me want to start the project. Pretty boxes did it for me!!! Glad you stopped by!
