Junk Mail

Guess what!  I finally took down my Christmas tree!  I know!  I know!  I'm probably the last person on the planet to get around to taking down the Christmas decor, but my tree was doing so well until this last week that I hated to take down a perfectly healthy tree!  Well, now that all the decorations are boxed up and put away, I've been cleaning and organizing the rest of the day!  There is nothing like getting rid of the clutter!
Since it was my New Years resolution, and I shared that with all of you, I thought you may want to see how it's going.

Do you get a crazy amount of junk mail?  Well I seem to get a ridiculous amount, and I know I'm not suppose to just throw something away with my name and address clearly printed on the front.  The risk of identity theft is to great!  So it all seems to pile up until my mail area looks a little something  like this......well exactly like this actually....


I figured it was time to do something about it, so I filed everything that I needed to keep, and the rest got sent through my handy little shredder!





My mail center went from bulging.....



to completely empty and ready for the next round of junk mail.....I'm hoping to keep up with it so it won't get so bad in a few months or so!





I also thought you might want to see how I organized all my fabric and sewing supplies!




I've got a few more boxes of fabric to go through, but I have plenty of room on the top shelf to add a few more!
Just is case you were wondering what sewing supplies could possibly be in the magazine organizers, I find them perfect to hold extra ribbon, trims, and things like zippers.  I like to wrap trims around a heavy-ish sort of cardboard to keep them from getting terribly wrinkled.   I hate pulling out trim thats all bent out of shape!
Anyway, what have you all been up to this weekend?

Fabric Organization

Today I attempted to take on a little organization as part of my New Years resolution.  My fabric and fabric supplies seem to take on a life of their own and tend to get out of control and unorganized very easily, so I decided I was going to hide it all in these great little boxes I bought from TjMaxx and Ikea.
So I organized everything my color and sorted them into boxes!













I've got a lot more to do, more boxes to fill and more fabric and sewing supplies to organize!  
How are you all coming along with your New Years resolutions?
