Summer Goal # 1: Organize the Closet

On my first official day away from school, I made a list:

~ Do laundry
~ Empty dishwasher
~ Reload dishwasher
~ Water plants and flowers
~ Vacuum
~ Plan dinner
~ Peel wrappers from crayons (more on that here)

... and finally:

~ Organize THE CLOSET

Which closet?

This closet:

I know.  You're thinking "What's the big deal?"

And.  Then.  We.  Open.  The.  Doors.

Allllllllllrighty then.

Wrapping paper.  Ballgowns.  Coats.  Bubble wrap.  Drawers filled with scrapbook paper.  A crayon maker.  The makings of a Sneetch shirt.  Gift bags.  Photos.

Unbeknownst to me, three members of Aragog's family were also hiding away in there.

Yes, relatives of A-r-a-g-o-g.

Go ahead and do the heebie-jeebie dance.  I certainly did.

Two hours, a mug of coffee, multiple passes with the vacuum, and seventeen Mentos later, here's where we're at:

What an improvement.  Since this is the only closet in my crafty nook, it was important to get everything sorted and organized in it so I may retrieve needed items unimpeded as I get my creative groove on for the next few weeks.

I WILL be creative this summer.

Oh yes.
