What is a 40 bags in 40 days challenge you ask? Well, you make a list of 40 places in your house you want to organize/clean out. Then for the next 40 days, you work on one of them a day. This idea is great for me because I have a problem with getting overwhelmed and hiding in my room. Literally.
Anyway, I've been doing my 40 bags for the past few weeks now and it's a raging success. Here are some of the places I've organized...
I've also cleaned out the file cabinet, my shoe bucket, and the pantry, among other things.
It's actually quite cathartic for me! I will never be perfect at decluttering - I can still hear my Grandma saying that I might need that someday - but I am getting organized and I love having a specific place for a specific thing. It's great!
Off to my next bag!

What a great idea!!!
Looks great! I am such a fan of decluttering. I love it! I saw this idea on pinterest too. I better start :) Thanks for the motivation.
Love ya!
Congrats on getting everything in it's place! Nothing is better than being organized!
You are doing so well!! Can you come to my house when you are through with yours? I need the help (but I am afraid it would take more than 40 bags to do mine!!)
Way to go! I should do that!!!
