My favorite Capsicum over at Chile Chews has issued a new challenge: Operation Clean-Out. Out Chile is really great at motivating her readers to de-clutter. I myself have benefited from her whip-cracking. Now that I'm back indoors for the winter, I seems to be stuck in the middle of a mess. This is what my spare/extra bedroom looked like about a month ago:
It doesn't look this bad now because I needed to find something so HAD to clean-up a bit - and also we had our annual Family Harvest Dinner so I was forced to into straightening up a bit beforehand.
I plan on starting in a different area: food storage. The local supermarket held their annual 12-hour baking supplies sale yesterday, and I made a few visits (due to a limit of 1 on certain items, like flour). I need to find storage space for 40# of flour, 6 large cans of pumpkin, 24 cans of evaporated milk, etc. Then it's on to the rest of the kitchen before fall/holiday baking started in earnest. After THAT, I'll tackle the craft/sewing/knitting/extra linens/scrapbooking/etc. supplies in the extra bedroom.
Whew! I need a nap...
