Yesterday I took the ddog to doggie day care and spent the day upstairs on the bonus room. Most of my time was on the stamping/crafty area - I got the desk top cleared and reorganized, and went through most of my stamping supplies and did a big purge. I put aside a batch of things to offer to the JCC preschool and a batch to offer to the lady who makes cards for the JCC employees to send to the community, and a third box to take to Goodwill. Realized for the 100th time that I buy storage containers and such that don't every get used so I have a stack of those to be moved downstairs or elsewhere.
All in all, a good job. I'm going to propose to dh that we get another IKEA bookcase to match the two that are already there - I will continue purge and work on storage of items still on the floor, mostly family "memorabilia" - i.e. old photos, documents, dh's boy scout badges, boxes of dkids stuff saved (even tho I did scrapbooks starting around age 4 up to some time in middle school, and also did a separate "School days" scrapbook with highlights of each year. Any, the room is not there yet but I've made progress.
Also let a lot of genealogy "newsletters" go to the paper recycle bin. Most of them are at the local public library and I can't say I've found a lot of info in them over the years. That opened up some genealogy bookcase space also.
