This is the bathroom first aid drawer. Very messy and band-aids are always everywhere. Nothing stays in a box. I dumped everything onto the floor and washed out the drawer. Here is the "after" picture.
Band-aids are sorted by size and all of the tubes of medications are in one container. Phew! One more thing cleaned, decluttered and organized.
We found another 31 new spiral notebooks and several packages of loose notebook paper. I'm not even done decluttering the clothes and a few other shelves in my closet. It's about the size of a mini-bedroom with poor shelving in it. Anyway, I must start writing by hand with all of these notebooks around here.
I also found several handmade Christmas cards that got buried in a box. They are now where I can view them and use them for next seasons gift giving.

Spring Clean ~ More Stuff!
I just found 11 more pairs of unfinished flip flops (groan). I guess I will add "decorated flip flops" to my "Mom's Boredom Buster Projects" list on the desktop. It will be a way to use up my extra fabric I have also located.
I also had a basket that held misc. baskets for gift giving. One basket I had purchased from a SCRAP store, before the move, must have been wet on the bottom from a plant. As I went through each basket, this particular one had a layer of mildew on it! Gross! Just one more reminder that cleaning is always a good thing.
Now that I know where my flour sack towels and hankies are, I must add that craft project to my "boredom" list also. They are hope chest projects, which are all stowed into one tote and labeled for each child.
