A Small Victory

I measure my life in terms of victories. Some are massive victories and some are tiny ones.
I substitute my "small victories" for "one step at a time"

One source of frustration was this closet:

[I can't believe I'm even showing ya'll this]

This is our front hall closet. It was a catch-all for shoes, purses, decorations, scrapbooking stuff and just CRAP.

(do you see the christmas wrapping paper smushed in the corner?!)

I dreamed of buying matching baskets and organizing everything into pretty coordinated and catagorized places. But lets get real, I don't have money to waste on that & I knew I could repurpose what I had to make this closet welcoming (again).

So - it took about 2 days to sift through all this.

I took my time.

I got rid of 5 bags of purses & shoes!

( I'm dropping them off at the Airman's Attic this week! Woo Hoo!)

[After my b-day celebrations of course!]

Now this closet looks like this:

Hallelujah!

I even found all my stuff for Valentine's decorating!

That way I can do fun projects like this:

[Can you spot the "K" and "J" - they are my favorite!]

Have a wonderfully-relaxing weekend!!!
