Great day! It took an act of congress to get these pictures uploaded. I’m not sure if it’s Firefox, Blogger, PhotoBucket, my internet or my computer. Argh!
Um-kay, moving on…
This past week I had NO time whatsoever to work on the skeletons in my closet, but I did manage to get my pantry and bathroom closet cleaned out and organized.
Check out the before and after shots!
The reason that both of these areas had a higher priority “ranking” is because I needed to clean out a bunch of food items and toiletry items to give away. My sister and I have organized a food drive for a few needy families that we know of. Our church’s prison ministry is also in need of items for the prisoners. Both opportunities are perfect for the 30 Day Giving Challenge, too!
After I cleaned all this stuff out, we still have plenty!
This is why I use coupons like they are going out of style. So I can give. End of story.

I love this post! I just wrote one about giving joyfully without breaking the budget, and mentioned cleaning out stockpiles to find extra items to give- believe me, my pantry looked much worse than yours
I think it is amazing that you've organized a food drive- keep up the great work!
Oh, your closets look so good! We are in desperate need of a pantry clean out. My husband is home this week so I'm hoping TOGETHER we can get motivated to clean it up!
Great tackle and what a generous give! I need to start couponing again so I can have extra stuff to donate!
My Tackle.
That's a wonderful tackle Myra!! I can only wish for that kind of storage space..
Great tackle!!! I love that you were able to give to a needy family from your very own pantry. That is an excellent idea for giving.
Great Tackle Myra!! What a wonderful idea to clean out your pantry right before Thanksgiving to share with others! I love to go shopping in my own pantry – it's amazing to discover what has been pushed to the back!
Well done! It looks lovely now. Looking at the before and after shots really gives me a buzz, and I feel all inspired.

I keep trying to organise my main cupboard in the kitchen but then i get my teen boys to put the groceries away and it all goes wrong. EVERY time!
Great job! I need to organize my cabinets better. And how wonderful that you're organizing a food drive!
I'm just amazed!! It's so amazing to be able to give and still have plenty! Love you sis!
Aweseome tackle!!
Since Mom and I have been couponing for the last month or so, we have been able to save enough money on our groceries to buy extra and give the extra away. It's wonderful to be able to give.
Awesome job!!
fantastic tackle!
I love your blog! You seem to be so upbeat. I wish I had a blog like this when my sweet babes were younger.
Keep up the good work. I am off to declutter – somewhere….
Wowza! Great clean up. I definitely need to do that too.
Love that you save money so you can give. Stewardship at its best.
Nice! Want to come and organize my pantry? LOL! Coupons are a great way to give back and share with others.
