What a huge job you did! I saw that episode of Hoarders too and thought as you did..."How could she not know she had dead cats under all those diaper?" ICK! Seeing that made my house look pretty good!<br />Happy organizing,<br />CherylAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17337201369550954242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030833295025317219.post-86110263786560446332012-01-07T11:19:20.526-05:002012-01-07T11:19:20.526-05:00You're welcome Annie....I'm glad it helped...You're welcome Annie....I'm glad it helped you out! :-)My Cottage Charmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02139190022476409282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030833295025317219.post-32242129600744222392012-01-07T10:53:45.469-05:002012-01-07T10:53:45.469-05:00Wow, I think if I was sick and couldn't sleep ...Wow, I think if I was sick and couldn't sleep I would be much more wimpy than you--way to be productive! I am really grateful for the pictures of your pots and pans...mine had been driving me crazy, though I thought I had organized them. I was using a rack for lids and just stacked the pans inside each other...so the lids never got put back in the rack because it was difficult to reach, and I always had to search for the correct lid for the pot...and the pots were not put back in size order so would fall all over the place. I saw your picture and couldn't believe how simple an idea it was to stack the lids WITH the pots! I was able to get rid of the rack altogether and now, for the same footprint as only the pots before, I now have the pots AND lids taken care of and the cabinet looks amazing! Even my husband was impressed!

My flocked tree left me with a fine white dust on everything in the downstairs.<br />I had to laugh, because I have so many jars of spices too.

But like you, it didn't stop me from having a massive clean after I took the decorations down:) Your organizing looks great!!!!<br /><br />I can't watch Hoarders anymore, I get too irritated with those people painstakingly picking thru mounds of trash then deciding they really do need to keep 18 used fast food cartons...sheesh, just throw it all away!!! And the ones who lose their kids because of their filth? Sorry, I just don't get that at all!<br /><br />Get better soon and take it easy!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14871388473674516955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030833295025317219.post-38216879280059472982012-01-05T13:01:13.881-05:002012-01-05T13:01:13.881-05:00Hilarious!

Then I turn off the computer (yes, you can watch it ANYTIME instantly on Netflix....we're so lucky) and go clean, too....but not to the extent you did. Don't get me wrong. I definitely NEED to. This past year, I have done some purging because that was my New Years resolutions last year. I had a mountain of old papers....dating back to 1973....and we shredded and shredded and shredded for months on end. We have finally rid ourselves of all that trash with all the personal info on them. YIPPEE! <br />Good for you that you turned a sad situation into something so productive for yourself and your family!!! I hope your sinuses clear soon.

I agree that Hoarders is a great motivational tool, but I have to say I prefer to watch the more "fun" hoarder shows like Enough Already or Clean House reruns. I am also sick but had to run out to library. I have read all Peter Walsh's books but grabbed a abbreviated version they did for younger people. Thinking that will be a quick review as I recuperate.<br />Your are amazing and impressive.<br />How could one get all that done overnight even with a team to help!
