Project Clean Up 2021...Week 2: Organize All Occasion Wrap/Bags/Boxes/Stickers/Cards

Week 2 is down. Now remember, I am actually right on track. This should have been blogged a few weeks ago so technically, I am just behind on the blog so bear with me.  

Last year, I did the new containers so this year was just about going through current inventory and ridding myself of anything I may not use in the upcoming year. 

This week's organization consisted of go through All Occasion Wrap items. These items are stored in my 2 car garage and I have a large counter where I am able to do wrapping, but through the year, if I am doing a quick clean up after a party, the bags, boxes, etc...tend to get piled up waiting to be put away. In this area, I have a hanging shelf that holds my gift bags and box bins. Also, a bin of all occasion greeting cards. Then, there is a cabinet that holds various sizes of jewelry boxes, buckets, netted bags, gift card holders, wine bottle boxes and tissue paper. The counter has a bin of rolls of paper and containers of individual ribbons/fabric ribbon strands and toppers/tags. I also have a container of stickers I use on cards. 

Here is what I accomplished;

On the Counter;  

-Rolls of Wrapping Paper: Wrapped tightly and taped down. Added new rolls that were on the counter to the bin.

-Bows, Ribbons, Tags, Toppers: Tossed smashed bows, rolled ribbon spools and secured, rolled fabric ribbon and secured, placed into the correct bins, purchased last year. 

-Stickers: I organized this section last year thoroughly so this year was just about adding to the correct envelopes any that hadn't been organized. Holidays/Seasons, etc...

In the cabinet: 

-Jewelry Boxes in various sizes: Checked bin for those I may not use. All were fine for the coming year. 

-Gift Buckets: Checked bin for those I mat not use. All were fine for the coming year. . 

-Gift Card Holders: Checked bin for those I may not use. All were fine for the coming year. 

-Tissue Paper: This is always one of the biggest jobs this week. I keep tissue paper after every event. It can be pricy when you add up how much I need through the year. Separated tissue paper by color, folded neatly and stacked in cabinet.

All nice and neatly stored by color. 

-Netted Bags: Checked canister for those I may not use. All were fine for the coming year. 

Hanging Shelf: 

-Gift Boxes: Tossed any boxes with tears or heavy tape marks and any extra pieces without matches, placed in bin, lined up neatly on hanging shelf.

-Gift Bags: Added any sitting around from this year. Removed any former tags,  separated by colors/occasion, lined up neatly on hanging shelf.

-All Occasion Cards: Made sure all cards were sorted into corrected file folder. Examples; Birthday Children, Birthday Adults, Note cards, Congrats, Get Well, Individual Holidays, etc..Get rid of any that will not be used in the upcoming year. 

All ready for the yard sale box! 

So excited that I I got this so on track last year so there wasn't much work involved this year, just simply glancing through for this year and an updated organization. 

I am behind posting, but am indeed on track!!! Week 3 is Organize your finances/personal. See you very soon with those results on the blog. I am currently in Week 4: Organize Gift Bins. These are gifts I buy ahead and organize into a notebook and bins. This is one of my favorite organizations as it gets me on track for what I need for Easter. Love this week! 

See you soon!
