Urge to Purge craft room challenge: DAY 3

My My Pink Stamper monthly post is going up in a bit, so I am posting a quick Day 3 progress report.

If you are just joining in, here is a re-cap:

• Let's purge our craft rooms and make them the happy places we desire for ourselves.

• I have purged my craft room many, many times before now, but I always did it in 2 or 3 full days.  It was mentally and physically exhausting, and I was happy with the results.  I am feeling overwhelmed right now and I can't spare that kind of time.  I am trying a new approach; small tasks each day.  This may take me a couple of weeks or a month…who knows?  I promised myself I would do SOMETHING every day…even if it was only 5 minutes!

• I am starting inside the craft room itself.  This will give me some instant gratification in my immediate surroundings.  Then I will start on the closet (oy!)

Today I will tackle 2 drawers of this 6 drawer dresser.   See those Cricut cartridges on top?  There is no room in the dresser.

Here is the top right drawer.  I went through it, and there is nothing to purge.  Just Cricut vinyl, Cricut cartridges, and Cricut Expression info.

Today I emptied one drawer (middle right) and re-organized it's contents to other areas of my craft room.  I re-alphabetized my Cricut cartridges, and they are all now in the top two drawers on the right-hand side.  Here is the top of my dresser now:

Tomorrow I will tackle one or more of the other drawers.

What I learned?

When purging in the past, my room got worse, A LOT WORSE, before it got better.  By tackling this overwhelming task in small daily chores, I am hoping to avoid that…so far, so good :)

I hope these posts are helpful to you!
