Organizing Wednesday!
I finally got 99% of my miniatures organized. Okay, I still need to do some fine tuning – especially with tiny accessories – but I feel good about getting things into LABELED tubs and containers. Instead of jumbled piles, I finally have like things with like things. Kits are with kits. Doors and windows are in one place. Pieces that need repair are together in one tub. The bottom line is that I can FIND things!
I was happy to be able to get two Amvet bags out of the house last week. My mother is always getting Amvet bags and she gives them to me to fill. I can fill them, but I never seem to get over to her house to drop them off in time for a pick-up. I finally had the opportunity to take them to her house in advance and found out there was a pick-up that Monday! Hooray!
Getting things out of the house has been a real issue with all the snow this month. My mission for March is to make at least one trip a week to unload some of the things I have designated to be donated. It is not really purging if the items sit in piles taking up space. Let’s hope the weather cooperates!
Something I have been noticing lately is that odd things are finding their way into organized drawers. Twist ties, spare rubber bands, etc. etc. My goal for this week is to throw out all these odds and ends that end up in tidy drawers. Getting organized is one thing. Maintenance is just as important, I think, to keep things from descending back to their former state of chaos. I need to work on maintenance!
How was your week?
