A JUNK drawer no more

Happy New Year!

My first organizing challenge starts today and I know it's the end of the day but better late than never.

Day #1... the JUNK drawer.  I was challenged to clean out my junk drawer by...


Mine exist in my desk.  This is the place I drop off receipts, wallets, coupons, pens, stamps and anything I need to dump out of my purse. 

First, I took a picture.



2.  I emptied and cleaned the drawer.

3.  I set up small bins to separate all the things I will put back in.

4.  Purged and tossed receipts, expired coupons, and put things away that really didn't belong there.

5.  Organized everything that belongs. Receipts to save, coupons, stamps, tape, and hand gel.



I would still like to line the drawer with a pretty patterned drawer liner or paper.  And the labels on my small bins were impossible to peel off. So they still need to take a bath to remove the stubborn label.

This was a small step to getting organized but it felt like I accomplished more.  I'm ready to tackle another drawer or maybe even a closet. 

Happy Organizing to you too!
