Ta-daaaaa!

I am pretty ding-dang-dong proud of myself and I'm gonna pat my own back! I am DONE with decluttering my office and, in fact, am sitting at my desk typing this!

Ya see this trash can? It's about 4 feet high and was almost empty before this morning! And now? It's almost full!!

I wanted to spend my morning vegging out in the bed but I gave in to the good angel's argument and got up and started working on the office shelves. I was on a roll, a ROLL I tell ya, when I had to stop to take the Chew-meister to doggy training class but NOTHIN' was gonna stop me from jumping right in when I got home. Ha. I took a 2 hr lazy "moment" but I did get up and went right back to work. And now? I'm able to enjoy my little office again.

Just in case you forgot where I started, this is what I was looking at last Saturday (Sorry I can't find the blasted original photos so I'm linking you to my other posts)...

I got the desk area and floor cleared off by Tuesday but the shelves were icky...

And now? Drum roll, if you puh-leeeeeeease!

I KNOW! One of the baskets on the shelf is actually EMPTY! And one has all my old paperwork from when I sold Premier Designs Jewelry. I want to get a business box to put that stuff in and store it some place else but since I don't need that basket for anything else, it's okay there.

I also got a couple boxes of stuff to take to my office at church and a whole box of Christmas stuff that got overlooked.


Now, the whole top shelf is full of pictures and stuff that I still need to go through, but I need other stuff to be able to sort them properly. It's not hurting anything to stay up there.

Man alive, once we get the laminate flooring put down in here, it's gonna be AWESOMELY awesome. (The doggies tinkled all over the carpets in the house so we finally just yanked them up. We got the new flooring on the living room and have to wait for finances to recover following the flooring, some medical stuff from my mess in October and Christmas before we do the bedroom. But that gives me a chance to declutter the bedroom a bit. Having to move everything out in order to remove the carpeting was pretty traumatic because it put into full view for the entire family just how bad of a clutterbug I was. I'm still traumatized a bit. NOT gonna relive that again!

So, now I got the kitchen and my office decluttered. I'm going to move on to something a little less major before I hit my closet (ugh), the laundry room (quadruple ugh) and the storage area over the garage (music signifying impending doom).
