Whew!!

Don't you know that there are some days that just are busier than others? I had a mission today. Since our basement cleaning last week went so well I decided that I needed to clean the spare bedroom. This has been my craft room for a few years. I thought that it was organized pretty well. All my craft and art items were in plastic bins and labeled. They were in the closet and under the bed. But when I saw some extra space down in the basement I had a bright idea...how about getting all of my supplies in one place. (some were in the attic because there wasn't room in the spare room. So I moved it all downstairs. What a job carrying bin after bin down the steps and over by the dryer. I didn't realize I had that much stuff. Maybe some other day I can go through and maybe toss a few things, but for right now I'll just be happy to have it all in one place. That is what my sister Diane taught me. Put like things together so you know how much you have and what you have and where it is. After things got moved I could wash down the walls in that room. They were dusty from the winter and just needed a good cleaning. I took everything down from the shelves, took them down and cleaned them and replaced them. I was choosy about putting things back up on the shelf so that it didn't get that crowded look. I think the room looks good now. It isn't completely done because Don has to move the player piano back into the corner. ( Where are the Clean House people to help me convince Don to get rid of that????) It is such a sense of accomplishment to get a room cleaned like that. I'm always happy to throw some things away but it was hard to part with a small wooden light box that dad had made for me. I did keep a small lantern though. Now I'm pooped, but in a good way. the rest of the afternoon I'm going to sit down and continue reading the 1,000 page Ken Follett book. Tonight we are going to the Casino for dinner and gambling. I hope I can stand!!LOL
