You may have been waiting for the (semi)-promised pics of my clean out attempt, so here we go...

| During ... Books were sorted in boxes on a folding table | 
And now, what we've ALL been waiting for ... THE RESULTS
  | 
| Books to be sold in rummage sale this summer |

| Being picked up by Amvets mid-April |

| What I kept (ignore the cooler) | 
I also had 3 boxes that were going to a local nursing home and ended up going to ReadingTree.org (no pics, sorry). 
As you can see, I still have work to do.  It took 3 nights (about 9 hrs).  The AmVets boxes still need lugged upstairs, I still have more books in my room, etc., and there's still quite a bit left.  But I parted with books I didn't think I would, and I'm happy with my progress.
 
Wow! That's a lot of organizing.
ReplyDeleteAll that organizing was a lot of work. =) Once the AmVets boxes get picked up I think I'll feel like more has been done.
