Keeping Busy Orgainzing

So I last left off with the Laundry room and it still looks decent! Score one for me. I was suppose to wait till the next day to get the next thing on the list done, but I was feeling good. I tackled the some of the kitchen things. First was the drawers. Of course the dreaded junk drawer. I did not take a before picture (I forgot) I was bad...but now it looks like this
Now everything has a place thanks to small clear cups and labels from the dollar store (Just a thought, you might want to wright on the label before you put it on the cup. It is very hard to wright on it after it is on the inside of the cup. Just say'n)
Next was the designated towel drawer, but as you can see other things found there way in there too.
gee wiz with all the plastic bags and yes those are shower caps (they make great covers for bowls and containers with out lids that need to go in the fridge) you can't even see the the towels. And now Ta-Da this is what it looks like now!
What happened to all those plastic bags you ask? Well, I found a new home for them out of a empty Cleaning wipe container.
 Slapped on some scrapbook paper and Ta-Da! Holder for plastic bags!

Next I needed to addend to the junk and medicine cabinet.
I have to say it is pretty bad. I have never knew how to get myself organized, but after some reading and lots of tips. It has been going good. I got some bins and cleared out junk.
I know so much better right!? Now I do have to say that after I did this Aunt Sherry and Mom came over to help me reorganize the whole kitchen to maximize space. So some things moved to a different spot like the ginger bread house and the fun dip (for boys' class) but it is still nice and neat! I love it! the last thing I did this day was to put a hanging organizer on the inside of the sink cabinet door to hold gloves and sponges, ect...
The next day like I said Mom and Sherry helped me and I could not have done it without them! I just was not feeling very motivated that day, but we got it done! Again I did not take before pictures. I know that nice matching containers would be pleasing to the eye, but I am working cheep, reusing what I have. Cups used to be in this cabinet. Now it holds baking goodies.

In the pantry, we got some dollar store bins, and put pasta in them and Sherry made everything look great!
Last but not lest, the pan and storage cabinet. Much better!
That is all for now, but I am still at it...
