Taking Down Christmas & Getting Organized!

Well this week I plan to take down all of our Christmas decorations:(

I am excited about the New Year but I enjoyed this Christmas so much

it is sad to see it go!

I have all of my totes down out of the attic and ready to go.

I want to try to be more organized this year and put things away so I can

easily find them next Christmas.  I have a lot more than  what I started with!

I really scored some great deals over the last few days at all of the store's

after Christmas sales!  Sean really enjoyed the decorations more than I thought

he would and asked if we could do the tree in Red & Green next year so

when I was at Sam's the other day I scored two more big containers of their

100 Christmas  bulbs for only $14 each!!

Here are some great organizational ideas from Better Homes & Garden
Check out their website for printable labels for each room in your house.

Here are some of my favorites and how I plan to use them!!

I love organizing my desk and scrapbook room, it may
not stay like this long but it feels good to have it organized for a little!

I really love how this pantry looks and one

day hope to have mine look like this:)

I think I will save some money back and invest in

some nice containers like these below to keep our

snacks and goodies organized!

I think this one is great especially if you have kids.

You give each member in your family their own bucket and helps keep down

on the clutter!!

I don't have kids but think I might try this with the dog stuff

and what Sean and I leave sitting around in the kitchen area!

I think this one is just adorable!

Look at how cute these everyday little

girl's items look in organized containers!!

Love it!

So do you have any rooms in your house that needs

attention or needs to be organized?

Any good organizational tips to share?

I feel like this upcoming weekend I will be in full cleaning mode!

Happy Organizing in 2012!!
