This month I have had the pleasure of speaking about my passion of organization in front of a group of fiesty women in Gunter,TX. I was able to share many "how to's" on cleaning out your closet. In review, here are a few points that were discussed.
- Create 3 Piles - Throw Away, Donate, & Keep
- Clean, Contain, & Repel all seasonal items being put away -Space Bags, Cedar Sticks, Clear Plastic Bins
- Sort through your hanging clothes - Remember ROYGBIV- White/Gray/Black/Brown
- Add a closet rod doubler to increase short hang space
- Shoe Boxes & Divider Shelves are great for organizing shoes
- Use Canvas Bins and/or Decorative Boxes for Purses, Scarves, Hats & Gloves
- Drawer Dividers can make a huge impact to any drawer
- Utilize the wall behind your closet door for hanging necklaces on hooks
- Small Tool Organizers are perfect for earrings, bracelets, and small misc. items
- Find a Hamper that fits your style and habits
- A small Trash Can will prevent small pieces of trash being left on the shelves and floor
Something I wanted to highlight throughout the presentation is that many of the items needed to organize a closet can be found at The Dollar Store and Wal-Mart. I was really encouraged when I heard that The Dollar Store in Gunter was sold out of clear shoe boxes, hangers and boxes. You have no idea how HAPPY that makes me.
Not only did I gain publicity for my business but I enjoyed presentations from other experts concerning gardening and soil treatment. This group of women, Girlfriends Unlimited, have quarterly events highlighting different speakers and a wide range of topics. If you are interested in joining Girlfriends Unlimited Gunter at their next event just find them on Facebook. I will be attending their next event Thursday, July 29 from 7p-9. It's a great way to meet wonderful women of all ages.
