Day 8: Puppy Organization

My mom is still involved with dog rescue and has bandannas everywhere. They don't really have a home so today when I was doing laundry, I decided to give them one. I emptied out a plastic drawer that had some sewing paraphernalia. (I incorporated the sewing stuff in with what I had already organized in the boys' old toy box in the hall.) I put all of the pieces that I have found so far in it. Then I put it in an empty part of the shelf that we put up yesterday. Now as I run across other pieces, they have a place to go. Plus, it should be easier on Mom to find them as she needs them. Now all I have to do is bring some labels home from school so I can label it.

Day 7: Garage Organization

Today I decided to work on all the stuff that I have in the garage at my parents' house. I had bought some shelves from Home Depot and shipped them here. They got here earlier in the week, and we finally started putting them up today. They are by Hyloft and are 15 inches wide and 45 inches long. They weren't cheap at around $50 a pair but definitely worth it. My dad said that they were easy to put up. I got four sets of two, but we only got 3 shelves put up. All of my stuff out there is put up neatly, but I figure when I get the rest of my stuff from Memphis, I will use up all of the rest of them.
