Junk Drawer Before and After

I finally got around to tackling another "to-do" on my re organization list. This one didn't take much time but I had been dreading doing it. It is amazing how much stuff you can cram into two little drawers. We were quite literally to the point of not being able to open the drawers anymore.





As you can see I have TWO junk drawers and that isn't even enough to contain all the "crap" .
First thing I did was organize all the photos and file them in a photo box I picked up at Michael's for $1.66. After that I just started sorting into three categories; toss, take to the garage and keep. It went fairly fast after that and I even found some things I didn't realize I had. Oops!

Much better! I picked up a three pack of bins at Dollar Tree.

Even though I had been dreading doing this it feels so good to have it done!



I showed you how I re organized my recipe binder here. I showed you how horribly messy my closet was here. I have yet to show you the after photos of that project because it is still ongoing.

I think my next project will be my craft are. It is in desperate need of a makeover!
