organize something: happy day challenge #4

If you're new in these parts, Wednesdays are happy around here.
Every Wednesday I give you a challenge to create your own little piece of happiness, then you blog about it and link up next week.
You are not obligated to link up. You can just do the challenge and tell me about it...I'd love that just as much. You will not hurt my feelings if you don't want to link up. Just read along. It's fun! So stop by here on Wednesdays, say HI, be happy!

I'm not gonna lie. Organization makes me happy. Martha Stewart's new line of labels and tags and binders and sheet protectors make my heart skip a beat. Beyond that though, opening my organized sock drawer does the same thing. Or seeing all my little packets of tea lined up just so in their basket in the cupboard. Ok, I may be getting carried away with myself now. But seriously, being organized just makes me happy...and I'm betting it does the same for you too.

Last week I was like a crazed homeschool mom, alphabetizing, filing, making binders, lesson plans, planning field trips, filling in dates, printing lists. Crazed, I tell ya!! But I LOVE it! I look at my newly organized binders and I smile. It's a good thing.

Today I vacuumed out the crumbs from my lazy susans in the kitchen and organized them. Took out the two half empty boxes of crackers and dumped them in together, threw away old stuff, stacked things neater, took out the unnecessary things. And the rest of the day, every time I needed a napkin or some craisins, it made me smile.

So you guessed it, Challenge #4 is to Organize Something, Anything!
-your bookshelf
-kids' clothes
-Amy, you totally just posted on organizing stuff
-line up your Q-tips neatly in their jar
-refold your towels so they're all going the same direction on the shelf (I'm anal about this)
-pull your winter coats out of the front closet and make room for rain boots and spring coats
-vacuum out your flatware drawer...how does that get so gross anyway??
-clean out your purse
-clean our your car
-declutter

Organize Something! I guarantee a bit of happy will be added to you day :)
Do it.
Blog about it.
Link it next week.

1,2,3 Happy!!

So last week you linked up your Drop it, Do it! challenges and I LOVED THEM!!!

Rach got pretty for you hubs.
Verena baked something special.
Mary was just plain sweet.
Kim painted with her little man.
And Lisa crafted with her girlies.

Thanks so much for linking...I love that you're playing along!

*****************

Your challenge last week was to: Do Something Gross on Your To Do List, Then Reward Your Sweet Self.  Like I cleaned up poop...and I don't have a dog. It was someone else's dog's poop. Ya, let's not talk about it again. Uck!

If you did do this challenge and blog about it, go ahead and link up! If not, that's cool too, I'll still love you.

Happy Wednesday!!
