organizing the closet

Tweet

We have a regular clothes closet in our bedroom and a storage closet. The storage closet has become an oversized junk draw. It was so full we were afraid to go through it and look for anything. We had the attitude that if it's in there it's lost forever. Well I finally got brave enough to try to semi-organize it. It's amazing what I found. The best thing was all the pictures I found in different boxes of the kids growing up. From studio photos to just 35mm snap shots. I even found pictures of the dog I had when I was a kid. I found full notebooks, and a whole pack of pencils. I found whole bottles of glue, yarn, threads, bobbins, gummy erasers. Even found all the papers from my first divorce. Anyway the closet looks a lot better now and I was able to throw away 3 or 4 bags of garbage and eliminate probably about 6 boxes. I even found what I was originally looking for and the whole reason I took on this enormous task. My marrage certificate. I emptied out an old portable file folder and put all the misilanous pictures I found in it. Those really had me remanising. I even found my left-handed scissors that I thought were lost forever. Woo-hoo. So have you taken on a cleaning out project and found some interesting things that you forgot you had? Tell me about it.:)
