How Does This Happen?!

this is the state of my scrap space right now!
Seriously, needs to be cleaned up so I can work on a layout for Paper Issues.
But I have been in the middle of a huge project. My daughter's closet in her room which has up until now been half used for scrap supplies/photo storage and half dumping ground for stuff that I just don't know where to put right now.
I want this closet to be more for her than me since it is in her room, so I started working on it week before last.
And yes it's the same closet I tried to clean out over a year ago, got half way and then it became a dumping ground again.

We live in an older home and our bedroom closets are huge! This is what you see as you walk through the door to the closet. A small video stand on the left which will be gone soon. And two cabinets straight ahead, both holding scrapbook stuff and files. But the top one is almost cleaned out.
I would like to remove that cabinet completely eventually. And the top of that cabinet is cleaned off. It was piled to the ceiling with stuff which is now either in that trash bag to the right or placed elsewhere.

Now picture this area just filled and piled high with stuff. That is how it looked a week ago. No visible floor space at all! But I got a lot of it moved out. Some will go back in but more organized and with a purpose. I would love to get that CD/video shelf out and pack up our cd's, because Erin needs an area in there to hang clothes.

And, Ai yi yi! This side still needs lots of help. I am getting there though. I just want to clear off those taller built in shelves for Erin's stuff. At least the top three shelves. I may still need the bottom one for photo boxes.

So you see that is one major project! And some of that stuff has been piled in my scrap office. Another pile is in my bedroom. I predict this will take me until the end of February to complete. But I need to get in some scrapbook time as well.

In other news, we had some more snow this weekend (surprise!)

 

A friend posted this on my Facebook page and I thought it was hilarious and sadly so true for us here!

Also, Evan and I went to the Mother/Son dance at his school. The only picture I have is not super great quality wise, but it's a memory that I want to have. And of course I can't share it here because he would prefer not ;)

Otherwise, it's been a typical weekend.
A little harder for me last night watching Mike head out of town again for his usual work week.
Sunday nights are seriously my least favorite of the week.
Feeling a little blue without him and missing him today.
But that closet project should keep me busy, right ;)
