Thinking Ahead: An Organizational Challenge

I am almost done with my 7 Christmas Crafts!  How awesome is that?  I just have to complete Addy's ornament and I'm done!  My posts will still most likely come once a week though because I'm a bit behind on uploading photos and writing.

With that said, I'm already thinking ahead to my NEXT project.  I'm going to take a break from the major crafting projects and focus on cleaning out our "stuff."  While crafting I've noticed that some spaces have gotten a bit out of hand in our home.  I wanted to do an organizational challenge but then got overwhelmed thinking about all the stuff I have to organize so I opted for this challenge instead to start with.

My major problem areas: Laundry/Storage room, Linen Closet, Office Walk in Closet, and Craft Closet.  People, it's ridiculous.  Like, no walking space ridiculous.  I blame this on the fact we have no garage, but really I need to purge and clean out some spaces that are a bit too full in our home.

I have noticed a few other bloggers posting some organizational challenges, and I've decided to do one modified from Little Lucy Lucy Lu 

I am going to do the 30 Bags in 30 days Challenge for the month of January.  Picking 30 areas of my home to clean out and get rid of a bag's worth of stuff.  All good items will be donated, or put in a "yard sale" box.

Would anyone like to join me?? I plan on updating you weekly of my progress. Here are my areas I plan to attack, you obviously will need to modify the list to your own needs.  If you plan to join me go ahead and share your list if you'd like!
