Downsizing my guest – craft room.

February 27th, 2008 at 08:02 am

I have been working on my craft room; it’s a room you can’t move around that much. As not much can be thrown away at this moment but if something can be thrown out it is. I have a bad habit of collecting up anything not in the right place and boxing it to go back later and putting it this room each time I have visitors. Some is papers that I need to read, jewelry, odd coins, books and projects that I was doing at that time being all mixed up together. Now I’m sorting each box out and putting away in the right area. Quick reading of the papers but trashing any that out date, I have found some very valuable items also.

Well I went out today and had lunch with my ex-coworkers at a new place for lunch costing $11 for roasted chicken and roasted vegetables roll and coffee. I did pay some bills while out. Also getting some printers ink for my new printer as I buy the color but refill the black one.

So I spend money today
Total Money spent today $728 (my cash outlay) (mostly bills)
Savings $stretch $23.00

No Spending Days so far this month : ~ 20

    I used to put all the out-of-place things together in boxes that I stashed in my bedroom. Bad habit. So many things I needed were "lost" that way. I'm really trying to take the time to put things where they belong now, but it's hard to break a habit.

    One trick is to 'store' thing, like crafts or clothes, in CLEAR boxes.

    The problem is you have to buy these bins (unless you have some other clever idea). My kids toys are in bins which you can see through. My crafts are not but I am a very disciplined person and tend to throw out stuff if I won't use it, and LABEL the outside of my old shoe boxes profusely too.
