What is your idea of a fun afternoon at home (without kids)? Watching TV with some chocolate? Reading a good book in the bath? Spending some time on a craft project? Cleaning out a cupboard? Yes, cleaning out a cupboard! I used to think my love of organisation was a bit unusual, until I started reading blogs written by other women who love it too (eg.
Home Life Simplified,
The Organised Housewife). It is so satisfying (and relaxing) to spend an afternoon cleaning out a cupboard, while catching up on some my favourite TV shows!

Our beloved BESTA unit from IKEA. The best part about it is that it's easy to hide junk.

I decided to use my child-free time this afternoon to clean up the craft cupboard (Mr Sociable was at Prep and Mr Fun was asleep). I've been wanting to do it for a while & when I read
this post on The Useful Box, I got excited about this project.

| The finished product |
I went to Bunnings and found some great containers with removable section dividers.
 |
| The sequin box |
 |
| Adhesive foam shapes (we mostly use these to make cards |
 |
| I removed quite a few sections in this box to fit pipe cleaners and long feathers |
 |
A deeper box for larger misc. craft items (the sections aren't removable on this one)
|
Some craft items stayed in the boxes I already had and some were moved to different boxes. I finished off the afternoon going label-maker crazy & finding new homes for things that really didn't belong in the craft cupboard.

Do you love to declutter and organise?
