oh what a feelin'

now is the perfect time to start simple organizing tasks around your house that will aid you throughout the entire year. i started yesterday with my make up drawer. what a disaster! you know all of those samples that you get that you might use?!?! well i had some circa 1990, and do you know what...i pitched them. yes, i threw them away. i think that some of the animal by-products had risen to the top of those lipsticks because they had a disgusting film on the tip of the lipstick (another wonderful reason to wear organic make-up). any who...the drawer is nice and neat and i really enjoyed applying "my face" this morning. i even made a little make-up bag for my purse. oh and i organized my purse. what a glorious feeling! for some reason i now have the lyrics "oh what a feeling, when your dancin' on the ceiling" going through my head. does anyone remember that song? i am going to organize one thing a day for the next month. want to do it with me? let's organize together. let me know how you are doing with it. email me some pictures of your work and i will post them along with my finished project.

sidenote: i have determined that someone needs to talk to cabinet designers. nice deep drawers as top drawers instead of bottom ones to organize makeup pencils and lipglosses so the stacking issue would never be an issue. i can't stand stacking my pencils, mascara and eyeliner, etc. then i have to root around and mess up all my previous organization. i would love to place them in a neat little container like my lipsticks. that would be make-up drawer perfection!

I'm in!!! Since I tackled the basement and got rid of FIVE bags of toys can a get a few days off though. I was planning on tackling my makeup stuff as well. You're inspiring me...I'm going to THROW stuff away--boy is that hard to do, but it's more painful to have a cluttered house...btw, i checked out a couple of books on organizing ideas etc, very helpful...

All those little organized lipsticks have me feeling giddy. My house is a disorganized mess. I have a painting project that I want to take on but I should at least try to vacuum up the Christmas tree pine needles before doing that :). Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a sweet comment!
