The Purge has begun.........

As I stated we are clearing out lives of all the unwanted, unneeded clutter. Well it has begun, it started one day when I could cram anymore into the junk drawer. This prompted me to clean it out and honestly I got rid of 90% of the stuff in there. Yesterday I tackled my bookshelf. This bookshelf sits next to our computer desk and holds my many cross stitching books, my school books and other random things that find their way from the desk to the shelf. Once again a majority of the stuff on there was a)either in the wrong place (the "set it there just for now" disorder) or b) garbage. Once I got rid of the garbage and put the things that were out of place where they belonged I was able to re-organize the shelves. Now all of my cross stitch books are on the bottom, the middle shelf is for papers that have to be filed, the 1st shelf is for my old school books and the way top right now is holding the dance tops I am working on but when school starts up it will also hold my current school books.  Now that the little areas are done it's time to move to the bigger areas. Our many closets (one of which is getting turned into a pantry), the garage and the garage attic area. I hope that we can eliminate at least 90% from all of those areas also. This should help us use our storage area more efficiently.
