T Stands for Making A Mess

 Hi everyone. It's another Tuesday and time for T over at Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog.

  Last week there were really only 2 things on my daily agendas.  I seemed to have appointments coming out  of the wazoo. The other thing that took up much of the rest of my week was pulling apart some of my art space and then putting it back together again.

And although making a mess and cleaning it up might not sound exciting, it was actually quite fun. And, much needed too.

You might remember that back on Black Friday I found this storage unit at Lowe's (a big box hardware store). They had them on sale, and I splurged and bought one for myself. Since we brought it home on Black Friday, this very awkward and heavy to move purchase had been sitting in its box in the garage. We hadn't brought it into the house because the  Christmas tree stood right near the sliding door, and we didn't think there was enough room for the box to get by the tree if we moved it through the door.

To make a long story short, we finally moved my new storage chest into the house. It took some ingenious maneuvering to get it up the stairs (we actually ended up rolling it end over end and then put the wheels and top on it once we had it upstairs.) 

That task was definitely a work out.

To put my storage chest in its new spot I had to move the plastic bins I had on this wall.

Then I went through my plastic storage towers because I wasn't very happy with the way I'd organized them last time I cleaned. Some of the items went into my new storage cabinet and some of them got reorganized elsewhere.

This was one of those cleaning  processes that meant I had to create a mess in order to get more organized. I guess if I didn't have so much "stuff" it would have been an easier task. Smile. I am happy to finally be able to make use of my purchase, and I'm also happy I could finally clean up some storage organization that wasn't working for me. 

And even though it meant cutting into my art making time, I did have fun reorganizing. And at least I refreshed my memory of what I actually have for supplies.  Smile.

After a busy day of running appointments and/or reorganizing, a late afternoon cup of something warm  was a welcome bit of down time.  (As well as this book which I am loving.)

One day I had coco and whipped cream made from a hot chocolate bomb. I got a box of these hot chocolate bombs for Christmas from my husband.

There were some different flavors in the box, and this one was peppermint. I really liked this one as it was just enough of a hint of peppermint and didn't overpower the chocolate.

And I ate the marshmallows that were inside the bomb before I gave the coco a squirt of whipped cream.

I give my husband kudos for finding this fun and tasty gift. And it is my drink to link up to T day this week.

That's all for me. Have a great T day and week ahead.
