Project Time!

First of all, Happy Groundhog Day! I was watching the fourth-hour of Today (don't judge) and per KLG and Hoda this day was first celebrated by German Catholics who used to use hedgehogs to predict the weather. So, do with that what you will.

Secondly, Benji and I worked on a project recently I just had to share.

We organized my heels, y'all! 

It wasn't pretty, but after basically dismantling my closet and purchasing the Fuji Film instant camera we were in business.

I then sorted all the shoes by occasion and then by color. It helped to see them all at one time. One thing I realized, I probably don't need any more shoes for a while (gasp! I know), but it's true. I mean, I haven't worn some of these in years.

Final product!

Before and After

My mom has been cleaning house of late and I am the grateful beneficiary of her organizational efforts. Inspired by how great her house looks, I decided to tackle a teeny tiny part of mine using a set of canvas bins she gave me.

Here is the before. This is my "miscellaneous" closet. Slightly akin to the scary, disorganized closet Monica kept on Friends.

Chilling, I know.

Everything was everywhere. No rhyme or reason. I mean, why exactly was I keeping that CVS bag full of greeting cards?

I started by taking everything out and sorting the trash, give away, keep.

Then I organized all of my wrapping and party supplies by sorting them into the bins.

I made cute labels for the bins.

And here is the after...

Much better! Now, we'll see how long it stays like this!
