completed projects part 2

Humbling as this picture is, it must be shown. Otherwise you could not appreciate the completed task I have just done.

And in some ways I just think it deserves an award or something. I mean it really takes talent to get this much junk into one drawer.

This is my night stand: BEFORE

And here are the contents:

Mexican Train Domino game instructions (you never know when you may want to play dominos in bed)

6 bottles of lotion

5 magazines

4 books

4 spiral notebooks

4 coasters and coaster holder handmade by the kids

a cosmetic bag

a key

14 cough drop wrappers (gee, maybe I should set a trash can next to the bed?)

2 thank you cards

3 cough drops un-eaten

2 finger nail clippers

1 albuterol inhailer

1 pair of reading glasses that have not been worn in 2 years

3 tea-light candles 1/2 burned

1 bottle of KY sensual mist

1 hair clip

1 pair of earrings

9 elastic ponytail holders

7 pens/pencils

1 bobby pin

1 tube of chapstick

1 battery

1 abc necklace for baby

1 tape measure

11 CD's

1 baby calendar with stickers for the 1st year (because when else would I write down things about the baby except when I'm dead tired sleeping from taking care of her all day?)

and.....3 pictures

And just so you do not think I live like a complete slob...I must show you the AFTER:

It will be so nice to end the ever on going joke with my husband....who constantly pokes jabs at me for the overflowing drawer. Note: the first picture was after I had cleaned it out. All contents listed were IN the drawer. He would poke fun and say, Here honey, "Can you put this in your drawer?" Next week I will be taking a picture and posting it of his desk in our basement office.

Ahhhhhh....ALL that cleaning really wore me out. Now, I must go to bed and look at my clean drawer before falling peacefully asleep.
