THIS WEEK'S PROJECT: The dreaded hall closet. What the heck is all that stuff?
The top shelf has a package of old doilies and tablecloths, inherited from my Mom. It also has backpacks and misc. bags - way too many!
Second shelf has 3 ring binders, notebooks, dividers, etc. With a few more bags and backpacks
Third shelf is jigsaw puzzles, Krap, and more binders, notebooks, etc - topped off with MORE bags!!! (notice the one on the left - it's the levi diaper bag I made when Jenny was a baby!!! Amazing!)
Fourth shelf: I DON'T KNOW - YOU CAN'T TELL BECAUSE OF THE BINDERS AND BAGS!!
Floor - the big blue thing is an organizer for gift wrap and ribbon. Behind it - - - all the gift wrap and boxes and ribbon that I never put into the organizer.

FROM THE BAG LADY OF THE YEAR: I've pulled out all the bags to begin with - there were 4 soft suitcases, 4 backpacks, 3 body bag suitcases, 2 sports bags, a soft briefcase, 12 large bags, and the two levi diaper bags I made in 1974 (I didn't even know I had the second one still!!) Stay tuned tomorrow for pictures and what I got rid of.

I remember using the non flowery jean diaper bag as a book bag in highschool. It made a perfect grunge bag. I almost asked you to keep it for me, but please don't. =)

Way to go!!!! anytime you said "It's in the hall closet" I realized what I was asking for was not as importanly needed as I thought. It's a SCARY closet.

HOORAY! The hall closet! Whenever I go to find a baby blanket, I have to quickly shut the door so it all stays in. It wants to jump out and grab me.

Great job! The front closet looks awesome now, by the way.

I *so* can't wait to see this one! jared says we gotta clean out our house better to make room for the boarders we'll be taking in if Obama wins and changes us into a socialist state (where people with bigger houses are forced to share with the poor). So I'm off to go de-junk my spare bedroom!
