Re-Organizing

Before I begin, I'd like to let you all know that I have exactly 15 minutes to write this.

I think in a previous post I mentioned that I have trouble being creative when I am surrounded by a mess. This is a big problem, especially because I almost always seem to be surrounded by exactly that. So, to help my creative juices keep flowing and to make my home "nicer" for Charity & Aaron, I've been trying to reorganize, declutter, and re-arrange as much as possible. To that end, one of my recent projects has been re-organizing the "dining area" in my home so that we could get a dining room table. And today we did.

Those gross yellow chairs have been around for forever, and now I'm looking for four or five nice kitchen chairs--anyone have any? The bookcase in the back is going to stay put, but the movies are going to relocate to the shelving I'm putting in my closet, and I'm going to sell that shelf at our garage sale. I think it looks GREAT! I'm very excited. Here are some of the other changes that are happening around here.

This is the butterfly rug I got Charity at the church garage sale. She loves it! She tells me "sitting on the butterfly.

Here is the toddler bed that I will be transitioning Charity to tomorrow (hopefully). I'm going to put it along one of her side walls so she can have the most floor playing space as possible.

That's all for now. Hopefully more later!
