DH put up shelf in my rm @ T-giving time. The mess had grown out of my corner to the middle of the floor
:.I still had 2 boxes of mag's on the floor a friend had given me. He tracked down c/board. mag holders for me @ Office Depot. I got them for C-mas. 6 of them are on top of my file cabinet.(been working on scrap booking family photo's.) The boxes are off the floor.
NY week I told him no big meals so I have the energy to work in my room, I can't start anymore new projects until I straighten up my room!!!:rolleyes:
He got another set of shelves to put in my closet. I have been working in there for over a year finding a home for other crafts I can no longer do. stuff was resting on top of other big boxes. Now I can move my wooden stamp collections in plastic boxes etc so I can get to them easier.They outgrew my drawers. 1 set of my drawers it was tipping. He took the wheels off the bottom 1 & put it on the top. Now the top set has the wheels on the bottom. Had to rearrange my drawers. I need to sort thru some paper items better in smaller drawers.
Next step is to sort thru a big batch of paper scraps a friend gave me. 1st I got to go from flat to vertical storage. Need to sort thru items I don't want in accordian file folders. this will take time. These have set on the floor for 2 mo's while I made C-mas cards for 2 mo's.
Got some small jars of jam for C-mas. I think they would make cute jars to separate my brads into color families.
DH confessed why he offered to help.:eek: He said clutter bugs him. He finally put shelves up in his office. I asked him for his long term problem solving for my closet. ( which he is good @!!) He really hasn't take much interest in what I do in there much less offer to buy me stuff. He now realizes my card making does save my sanity. (I'm housebound w/ health problems).
He went into M's for me Thur. to get me 3 items. I was to tired from a Dr's appt. No craft places where we live.He did so w/o complaining. We had a really bad storm w/ high winds,cold front, sand & snow. He braved all of that for me.
I have to make my GD a late b-day card. I told her I can't make her b-day gift till G-ma cleans up her messy room!! i don't want to drag out my shell collection till I have stuff picked up & sorted.
Want to make a new ribbon box from a candy box we're eating up to go on top of my drawers for a bag of ribbon to go in.
NOW he decides he wants to look for a different job out of state!!@ least I have been sorting thru stuff & sending it out the door. My vintage p/c collection goes in the mail. Also some more GI cards will go out of my stash.
I making good on my promise even if it's on snail pace!!
Dh said it it is a good start
Surprise help from DH!!!
