This picture includes . . .
1 pile of papers for recycling
1 pile of papers to throw away
1 mat I ruined by putting it in the washing machine yesterday (yes, the homemaking mishaps have not stopped)
1 box of things to give back to my Mum
2 books
1 bag of things to give back to a guest who is coming tonight
Much of the paper pile was sourced from this paper-catchment area on top of the microwave . . .
Which is now looking a little more presentable . . .
Dave says it looks the same as before. He is a man (and I love him).
Tomorrow's tasks include emptying these paper pile drawers . . .
If you have joined with me in this little challenge, and posted about it on your blog, why not put a link to your post in the comments section?
The basic principle is . . . if you don't like it or find it useful, send it out the door!
Love your wicker basket! I use them all over my home! My reduce, reuse, recycle day looked like this: cleaned and folded 1 LLBean fleece robe that oldest outgrew and stored away for youngest in 2 years; put aside 8 preschool-level picture books for my neice that my youngest has outgrown; threw away a broken lamp as it was "dangerous" and probably couldn't be fixed, but kept the lampshade to use in my youngest daughters room; went through old hiking magazines, clipped out articles I wanted to save and tossed the rest in the recycling bin; put in recycling bin 3 plastic jars and 4 cereal boxes! I am liking this spring cleaning!
