I went to my parents house 2 weeks ago and did some major cleaning out…

THREE huge black garbage bags are going to Goodwill!!
I also recycled a huge bag of paper.

I am so proud of myself.

The organizing I did:

-I put my Disney VHS tapes, Barbie dolls and clothes, and some other random games in a big plastic box. My mother doesn’t want me to get rid of them, so hopefully I have a little girl one day and the VHS player still works :)

-I have a Ukranian doll that my aunt and uncle gave me, which I put in her own separate plastic box along with her beautiful clothes. That is one unique gift that I will not part with.

-I went through all the boxes under my bed, recycled papers, got rid of junk, and found a few fun things that I had forgotten about.

-I made categories for my craft things and put them in boxes by category: Painting, Drawing, Beads/Jewelry Making, and Fabric/Ribbons.

-I took apart an old art project that I was not too fond of. At least, I didn’t like the whole thing. I plan to fix up parts of it and make it new. It was fairly large, so doing this cleared out my floor a little bit.

-I had a huge stack of newspaper and magazine articles to go through, so I took those back with me in my car to go through while I am in Tuscaloosa. Also, this was to get it out of my room, so I don’t have to deal with it next time I go home.

That’s all I can remember right now, but I think I did pretty well! :)
