So, to get myself inspired and re-engaged in blogging, I visited some other blogs. I have a long list of bookmarks in a folder I call 'browsing for inspiration'. I started with my cousin's blog http://craftynan.com

I don't have room in my kitchen for a junk drawer :( so I did the bottom drawer of Bib's 'dresser'. It's really a telephone stand with drawers, but I have re-purposed it. Except for the bottom drawer, which had a lot of stuff I didn't know what to do with. Before:
That's some books with audio tapes, contact paper liner cut to size but not installed, and underneath are DH's tooth fairy pillow made by his mom, a package of dominoes, a pair of old glasses, a nice box of playing cards, and an assortment of old cassette tapes. Start singing Meatloaf, Pink Floyd, and Weird Al people - it's a blast from the past!
Next, Ana has a 'special' drawer in her dresser. There is no question that was her junk drawer. Some of everything in here.
Nick didn't really have a drawer either, so he did a file cabinet drawer in his room. It wasn't overly messy, but we found lots of things on top of his desk to recycle, not much he wanted to keep.

The kids were SO overjoyed to be helping out on this project. (Did I forget to raise my hand for sarcasm?) Mean momma strikes again. Here is the end result, plus some paper recyclables, and items for donation. AFTER:
