Emily is really, really good at organizing. Now that we’re done with the major clutter she’s excited to be down to the nitty gritty of sorting buttons and needles. I actually love this kind of task too, but with TNNA and the move approaching I am now much saner having a deculttering partner in crime.

Excellent stash organization! You’re so lucky that your bins can close properly! Mine are overflowing and I refuse to buy more bins! Must use up stash!

Wow, that is so great! Good luck with your move. I remember those days … shipping 600 lbs… and then living with the 600 lbs for a few weeks. Reading what you son had to say … too funny! How cute!

A craft studio organizer is about the coolest thing ever. I am so jealous.
By the way, you’ve been tagged because I am annoying like that.
