Tackle It Tuesday #102

by Carolyn

Tackle It Tuesday Meme

Hello again all! I am blessed to be here with you. This tackle for me is an ongoing one, but it is definitely frustrating and time consuming work!

I have been receiving multiple packages throughout the week mostly for a crop at my friend’s church for National Scrapbook Day (which was last Saturday), we will be celebrating on the 17th! I am also getting packages for my upcoming Scrapbooking Blog Party, and for my new baby.

On top of all that, I have packages waiting around to be shipped! – Going to the post office is no easy task for me since I have no car until my hunny gets home, and he always gets home after the post office is already closed! *sigh*

Just to go through these packages when they get here takes me waiting till my son is asleep, then I have to make sure all the paperwork matches the amount of product received, then I have to sort it all into goodie bags, make n take products, prizes and other people’s personal orders.

If you look at my last picture it may not quite look like an after shot, but I have seriously gotten rid of half the amount of boxes I started with! :o )

What are you tackling? Link up and let us know!

We’re making housework blog-able!

Each week on Tuesday, we are posting before and after pictures of a project or trouble area that we tackled this week.

Find out more about Tackle It Tuesday here.

The project can be little or big – whatever you want. Basically, Tackle It Tuesday is about giving ourselves incentive, deadlines and satisfaction in getting our household tasks done. (It doesn’t even have to be housework… just whatever is on your To Do list.)

If you tackled a project this week, just add a comment and add your link below.

Now go on girls… make me proud! :o ) You can do this!

If you ever need to, you can arrange for a free pick up by the USPS…you can even do it online!

I haven’t participated in Tackle It Tuesday for the last month so I might be a little late on noticing but I wanted to tell you I like the new button. :)

I have been working on getting my kids toys manageable. They have so many toys that it was impossible to clean up. So I have started filling large bags full of toys to donate to Goodwill. So far I have filled up my van and I still think I can give away more with out the kids getting too upset. (I have to do it when they aren’t around otherwise they will get into what I have gone through.) Wish me luck!

That’s a lot of boxes! That’d be enough for me to stop enjoying getting packages in the mail!

That’s a lot of boxes! :)

Our post office has a lobby self-station where you can buy postage for packages and send them 24 hours a day – it’s been very handy!

That’s funny that one is for a Caboose ultralight stroller… we did a review of those strollers. They’re fantastic!

My first Tackle It Tuesday…I can’t imagine trying to fit all those boxes in my house with 4 adults, 5 kids, 3 fish, 2 cats, and 1 dog! Guess they’d all get shoved in the garage with everything else. Congrats on getting it all weeded through!

This is my first Tackle it Tuesday… I finally got my bathroom done, just in time for Mom to come. It’s not great, but at least it’s presentable, lol.

Can you tell me what time you try to get the link up? It used to be Monday night. I finished a wallet for my Mom.

Agghhh, the boxes! I feel your pain! It also reminds me of my old eBay days…

I created a Return Station to join the Donation Station this week. Hooray for systems!

Tackle it Tuesday is just the “jump start” I needed…I tackled my mountain of paperwork and started a home planner notebook…well, I started..had a few distractions and will finish on what I am calling “Wrap It Up Wednesday”!
