Before we start the party, let me show you what I have been up to. Do you ever ask your kids to do something, and ask them over and over again, and finally just do it yourself because you can't take waiting any longer? Well that was the situation I found myself in. Christmas brought my son many new Legos, books and toys. He is lucky enough to have a walk-in closet in his room that is strictly devoted to his toys and books and is used to display his many Legos he has built. Well the walk-in closet had gotten so over-run with stuff that it was no longer able to be walked into.

So although I probably should have made him help me with the clean-up, I did it myself while he was at school. Here is what it looks like when I was done with it.
Now everything is back, neat and organized. When my son saw it he said he really feared what I got rid of to make it look that good (there was two bags of garbage that got thrown out, and a box of baby books that will get passed down to my two year old niece and nephew). Now let's see how long he can keep it this way.
Ok, onto the party. I'm soooooo excited. I can't wait to see what you have been up to. Link up anything you have been working on...home decor, crafts, sewing, organizing etc. I know you are all so talented out there and have been keeping very busy during these winter months. I'll be keeping the link open through Friday.
A few rules:
1. Please become a follower.
2. Please grab my party button above and display it either on your sidebar or somewhere in your post. This way word can spread about the party. The more people at the party, the more fun we will have.
3. Please enter the link to your actual post, not just a link to your main blog page.
4. Please visit others who have linked up. Everyone works hard on their projects and blogs...let's show each other some love by visiting each other. Let's have some fun and hopefully make a few new friends along the way.
Ok...let's PARTY!!

Thanks for hosting, loving this party. I bet you feel so much better now that his closet is put back together. I have to say it looks VERY familiar.
ReplyDeleteSO jealous of your toy closet! It looks so neat and organized :) We are quickly outgrowing our apartment and I swear there are toys everywhere. My bedroom looks like Chuck E Cheese at the moment :(

Wow! It looks so clean! I can so relate to feeling overwhelmed by toys. Its a constant battle around here.
ReplyDeleteI have the same shelves in my pantry and was wondering what you lined yours with (it looks like they're lined in the picture, anyway!). I hate how the gaps make some of my items tip over.
Thanks for inviting me Judy! I'm a new follower! :)
ReplyDeleteHey, Judy! Congratulations on your party!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing quite like the feeling of a well organized and clean closet! How long will it stay that way, I wonder?

ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting! Your post was just the inspiration I needed to start tackling my sons closet!
ReplyDeleteAhhh that looks so much better Judy. Thanks for hosting the partay!
ReplyDeleteI always wonder about toy closets and office closets... where are the clothes kept?
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting!!
I can almost remember, back in the dark ages when my kiddoes were little, I would go into "attack-mode" & clean up their rooms. I think you did a great job, & I hope your son will keep it looking that way longer than mine did. LOL, now I get to watch my adult kiddoes struggle with those same things with their own kiddoes. I think it's called PAYBACK! This is such a great idea for a party, Judy. Thank you.
