More Organizing in the Storage Room

BEFORE...

THE TOOLS
I have certainly got my parent's money's worth out of this little shop vac! (It was a birthday gift a few years ago.) The lemon jell-o is a tool for a yummy "Lemony Snickets" project later today.

THE PROCEDURE

I found new homes for everything on the shelf.

I keep some of my holiday stuff in the storage room and some in the garage so I relocated all the holiday stuff in the garage onto this now vacant shelf in the storage room.

Cheri, you would be so proud--I did all of this in less than 15 minutes!

AFTER...

I haven't pulled out any Easter or 4th of July decorations in years because they've been buried in the garage.

D says A house should be functional--fitting the needs f the family and containing a place for everyone and everything.

Becky Beck agrees and is finally, just this year, getting serious about doing it! :)

Daryl Hoole (aka D) says in her book, It is sad to hear a woman lament (I had to look that word up, it means--to express sorrow, to mourn), "I am just a housewife." If only she could realize that she is a homemaker by divine appointment. Making a home is a special mission for a woman. It is no accident. This is where God intended her to be...This task is second in importance to none...running a home challenges any other role in requiring intelligence, ingenuity, and abilities unnumbered. It...can bring the greatest joy and satisfaction of any type of work. We women must be proud to be homemakers.

I am proud to be a homemaker (and an American) and hope all you homemakers out there are proud to be too!

The Rules

1. I have to work on cleaning, organizing, or finishing something every day of 2010 with the exception of Saturday (since that's the day we get ready for Sunday), Sunday (it's a commandment not to work on Sunday Dueteronomy 5:12-15), holidays, and vacations.
2. I am to use the book, "The Art of Homemaking" by Daryl V. Hoole for daily inspiration and direction.
3. I can enlist help from my family and friends when necessary.
4. I am allowed to do a project on a Saturday, Sunday, or Holiday IF it doesn't interfere with any family fun or break any commandments.
5. Anyone can play along!
