New Year's Organizing (Tackle It Tuesday)

Every year I get the organizing & decluttering bug about this time. It's time to put away all the Christmas clutter and get things back in shape. I'm always full of new projects and ideas for getting my life more organized, and this year is no exception.

This is what my kitchen table looked like Christmas week... full of craft supplies and wrapping paper. I got everything done, (including my Christmas cards and a very quick frap carton) but the mess on the table wasn't pretty!

So, my first project for the new year is to arrange a new crafting space for myself. Right now my craft supplies are scattered- some in the spare bedroom/storage room, some in this computer room, and some in a plastic drawer organizer by the kitchen table. No more! The toys that are here are being relocated to the kids' rooms and the basement playroom, and that should leave plenty of room for my craft table and cabinet to be moved into this room.

I wish I had the "after" pics to show you already, but, I'll have to wait until DH is available to help me with some heavy lifting before everything will be done.
