Wordful Wednesday!


I was perusing blog land the other day.. just going from link to link not really paying attention to where I was... I was just looking at pictures and for things that caught my eye... and I ran across a lady who was challenging everyone to spend 15 minutes a day organizing one small space... at the time I didn't give it much thought until this morning when I opened my bathroom cabinet and thought-When did it get like this? So now that I was interested in taking part of this challenge.. I can't find her...but instead of that being the reason for not doing it...I just did it..

The before.... (Don't judge..I couldn't believe it either ugh)


... I found that I have entirely to much perfume..
the empty bottles found their way to the trash can...

...and the duplicate bottles found a place in the give away pile...
or in my nieces backpack..(with permission of course..)


I have no clue.. why I was keeping these...

Ewww, seriously-When did I ever wear these colors?
Glow in the dark! Really?

While, I did throw away a whole lot.. I just couldn't put these things in the trash. I always give them to my Mom and she takes them to her church and lets the little old ladies dig through them.. she says they often ask if I have cleaned out anything lately..


This is the end result.. Sure it still needs some work.. but it is much better!
Thanks for coming along as I organize my house again...15 minutes @ a time.
Um, next I am thinking.. the cabinet under the bathroom sink!

What a great idea! I bet you saved the tp rolls for projects with the little kids at work. I know I start to do that sometimes "just so I have them" and then I never do anything with them!

I used to do that & it really kept up on things... & that 15 minutes seems like a long time, but not TOO long.. you got me wanting to pull out the ole' egg timer again!

Hi there! Thanks so much for choosing to follow me! I am a sucker for perfumes too.

BUT, I have no where near the amount that you do!

My favorites: Eternity and TOVA.

Actually on my last drips of TOVA and all out of Eternity.

Too bad I wasn't your niece handy with my backpack!

Love this 15 minute idea. I am going to take action with this concept and even put myself on a timer for fun!
