Halloween Postmortem

Yes, I have definitely lost it.  Or I'm well on my way. 

 

We've had non-stop house guests with more on the way.  Don't ask.  It's been Great Fun.  Really.  REALLY!

 

So what better time to revamp storage?  Products. Not People.

 

In an effort to Clean Out Every Conceivable Nook and Cranny in our House/OMGOSH/in order to make space for/as one Feng Shui consultant expressed/New, Exciting Things to Enter/I discovered our kids' Halloween costumes today. YES! Some pieces are missing but generally outfits are intact. This is the upside of saving Everything From One's Life. There is, as you might imagine, a HUGE DOWNSIDE. The benefit is that these mini-works of art/yeah, right/are now being refurbished/revitalized and brought into Our Current/soon-to-be dismantled/Halloween Household.  I am not endorsing this kind of behavior. But, hey, Halloween is my kind of holiday, remember? Thanksgiving is almost a month away.

 

So if any holiday is Your Kind of Holiday, how do you store stuff from year to year?  Initially I used cardboard boxes. Critters chewed their way into/and demolished/everything. So we've gradually been shifting to large, labeled plastic bins. Target was my target today. Tomorrow, labels printed for each room or set of rooms. Or outside spaces.  I'll try including pictures today but if those coming for dinner arrive, tomorrow's the day.

 

We're on our way to seeing what New,Exciting Experiences Are Coming Our Way!

 

Feng Shui Lady, you're going to be so proud of what happened today! 

 

Even if you're not, I AM!
