What just clicked? Me ORGANIZED???

I don't know what happened.  Something just clicked.  Sometime last month I just got a bug to start organizing.  Now I'm obsessed!  No worries; since I've been a clutterbug/multi-hobbiest/thrifter for awhile now I have plenty of projects to direct my new found obsession.  Anyway, when I saw the 31 Day Purge challenge on Pinterest by A Bowl Full Of Lemons blog, I decided I couldn't miss this opportunity to dive right in.

The challenge started on October 1st and its been a week today so of course I'm behind.  I do have a minor excuse; most of the time I've needed to shop for a few organization supplies (like containers, labels, etc.)  I was hoping she would do a couple of "catch up days" but no luck so far.  I guess I'll just double up at some point.   Anyway, so far I have managed to complete the Pantry Food, Dresser Drawers and Cleaners challenge days, at least partially.  So far I think I am most proud of my Pantry makeover.  I actually kept going back and opening the cabinet to pat myself on the back.  I have to say, I had the best intentions and actually took out a trash bag and another bag to donate to my church pantry.  But in the end I actually had items that were outdated in 2009!  Which is why this is probably a habit that should be done at least annually.  Take a look.  What do you think?  Not bad right?

Anyway, I'm hooked!  I seriously might get organized this time.  Got to get caught up right now.  Maybe I'll find more stuff, from like the 80's.  Stay tuned!
