Procrastination Must Be My Middle Name

Remember a few weeks ago when I shared about the wonderful bags full of hand me downs that I was blessed with? I said at the time that since I had gotten everything washed and folded all I had left to do was sort through my old clothes to make room for the new stuff.

Then I got sidetracked with cookie making and the trip to my parents house. The clothes went untouched the whole time. Finally, when our bedroom corner started looking like this, I decided I had really better tackle the project once and for all.

So I emptied my closet and all of my drawers and sorted through everything. There was something very cathartic in the whole process. I ended up with 4 bags of clothes to donate and 2 bags of summer clothes for the attic. I can't remember the last time I had so many clothes that I couldn't keep the entire year's worth in my bedroom.

Then I hung or folded everything back up and organized my closet and drawers.
Yes, I am going to show off each drawer. I am hoping that preserving the memory now, so that I can go back and look at it any time I want, will motivate me to keep them looking this way.

It felt like such an accomplishment. And it really is nice to have our bedroom back in order.
