Birthday Gifts

I'm dipping my toe in slowly but with goals. For the entire month I will accomplish the 10 things--either get rid of or find homes for the items around my house I have been ignoring. That is a little bit a day that hopefully adds up to a lot.

For the 1st, I picked items from K's birthday party. Her birthday was in Jan, the party was mid-Feb. Like every parent, we have lots of toys. She received many clothes this year that were put away quickly. The toys made it to corner of the downstairs living room, gifts bags and all. There they sat. Out of the way, but in the way. We don't go downstairs often but I always knew they were there. To end April we got toy storage units and I knew a bunch of the craft type items would go there. So while I did not toss that much, I got a lot cleaned up.

1. stamp set
2. package of googly eyes
3. package of pipe cleaners
4. playful patterns set I can't wait to play with
5. construction paper
6. many glue sticks, because no one buys just one
7. a necklace
8. many highlighters
9. many markers
10. The reusable bag a bunch of this was in and some cash stuck in a card.

While putting this away, some christmas and easter craft items were put into their correct bins, K's craft bin was organized, kid writing paper was sorted and random items were recycled. It felt good to finish. Sorry no pictures since my camera was not at my house.

Off to do day two right now.
