The Card Castle Re-Do/ Re-duce/ Rearrange

I'm cleaning, and purging, and really purging....  Have plenty of before pictures, and I can't wait to take after pictures. The "in-progress" pictures here make the room look messy, but you are really seeing is empty drawers were stuff that I didn't use was kept.  I also moved some tools like the Bind-it-All and the Rollabind that I didn't use because they were not very accessible.

Here are my helpers... two of them quit after on sorting job.  The other one... the one texting while she sorts paper is my rescuer.  I was having a hard time making decisions and letting go, but she is more than motivating me.  I would say she is actually a little mean, but she's doing what I asked her to do.  She is imitating the dude on Clean Sweep (my favorite). 
The last picture is the stuff that is leaving here so far. Gina has packed up TEN flat rate boxes of misc. embellishments.  We are going through the paper and stamps today after a brief trip out for coffee... 
I can't wait to finish my room and get started on my scrapbook about me!! (That sounds a little self centered doesn't it?)
Have a blessed day!

I wish I had the courage, but I don't. I'm a packrat at heart! Please tell me you are going to give some of those away!!

Looks like quite a job! I need to get organized! Looks like you have a great creative place to work....I'm at the dining room table.

I'm always inspired by your beautiful cards. Keep 'em coming!

Good luck with the cleaning! By the way, where are the 10 boxes going? Just wondering.....

Krissy and Terri, relax. I'm not throwing them away. I am giving away some to friends, but most of it will be sold. The boxes are going to be sold as in like "grab boxes." I also have other stuff that I will list individually... If you're interested, check back over the weekend and I'll let you know when I'm going to put up my "For Sale" post.

You (and your team) are really serious about this!! Good for you, Jacki. Congrats! While you will be appearing on 'Clean Sweep' you can look for me on 'hoarders' very, very soon, LOL.

Hahaha... I LOVE Clean Sweep. The truth is it's easier to purge someone else's stuff than my own.(which is why I needed help) Let me know if you want help, I'm actually determined to come to your state before year's end.

I'll be checking your blog this weekend for the "grab boxes" for sale. Being a new stamper I try to grab anything I can. :)
