Mission Accomplished!

Behind this seemingly benign skinny door lies a mess.




This is what my linen closet looked like this morning. You can see that there HAD been some semblance of organization. But it hadn't been cleaned out for at least a year.  My goal was to get everything out of there, purge, group and get the vacuum cleaner into it.  Poor Maggie was really confused when she saw the hallway cluttered with stuff. She wanted to taste-test it all, especially the sponges. I rescued her from eating more than one.




All in all, this project only took me 45 minutes from start to finish. If I had kept at it a few minutes here and there all along, I wouldn't have had to do it at all!



I know exactly what is in there now, items are contained and grouped, excess sheets have been donated to charity, I created a grab-and-go cleaning tote, and there's a spot for the vacuum cleaner. That was time well spent!

Joyfully,
Linda

Don't you just love when you get things organized? I have slowly been chipping away at different areas of the house and it's so nice to look at everything all neatly organized. I put out another pile of stuff for donation yesterday. It was so nice to have it GONE.

Good Morning Linda!
You did such a great job on your closet. I love Flylady's philosophy, it just makes sense!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Warmly,
Tracey
