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 But in the end I actually had items that were outdated in 2009!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?
