I am starting out 2015 organizing and trying to find SPACE. I never thought moving would be such a jumble. I haven't any idea how I am going to do it all but I guess I have the whole year to figure it out. I started in the kitchen. The garbage disposal went out and had to be replaced so all that stuff under there had to be MOVED out. Better now than if a leak occurs I guess.That all done I moved to the shelves and the drawers next. Progress and some things tossed out helped too. The shelves were a real problem but I managed to use every little space I could. Works for me..{note to self, don't buy any more of anything!! ;-) }
A wise friend told me, "Whatever you buy and bring into your new place, you better have a place in mind where you will store it." So right she was. I got THREE Christmas trees of all sizes I had to find room for. I didn't buy them all at the same time, and I am still trying to find room for them.Tip: Don't wrap them up and throw them up on a shelf, they will find their way off the shelf in the middle of the night.. BOOM!! HA! Scared the beeeegeeeez out of me!!
It got cold out and I looked for winter gear. WHAT?? I could not find any hats, scarves etc. even though I knew I had them. What I did find was only LEFT HANDED gloves,.. all of them. HOW odd. The right ones had just been placed away someplace in that maze of a closet. A disorganized mess. Yes I am still hunting the right ones, and still wondering HOW they got separated. Very ODD.
MY winter will be full of hunting items and trying to label boxes and tubs..at least it keeps me busy on the many very cold days. My advice...when you think of moving please LABEL the heck out of your boxes..something I should have done better.
HOPE YOU ALL ARE STAYING WELL AND WARM..

It will be 5 years in April since I moved here and I am still trying to find room for everything. xoxo
One area at a time. That's funny your right gloves are missing. I bet you thought someone broke in when the trees fell off the shelf. That would have scared me too.
well, winter is a good time to tackle these jobs. I've been doing some of the same.
We desperately need to organize here...it's certainly on the to do list. Single gloves 'n mittens...ugh, one of life's maddening mysteries!
When we moved 2 years ago we just dumped stuff into closets, shelves, etc. Promised we would come by and reorganized. HA! Maybe next summer.
We just put out three big bags of clothes and three boxes of stuff for Purple Heart to pick up. I have to admit that some of that stuff I'd like to at least try to sell at a garage sale and make a few bucks but we have to make room. I don't know what we'd do if we have to move. We still have two sets of china, neither of which we use except maybe at Thanksgiving.
Sis, Katie really DOES watch the PBS morning children's shows for 4 hours a day. That is a children's show that is showing in the blog. So to answer you, her favorite show is Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood.
All those left handed gloves? No righties? It was done by ghosts in the night. Only explanation.
