Getting Organized

Cleaning up my folks' house has had a good effect on me, I guess. With school being out, I feel like I have to make this mad dash and get everything essential done before I go back come the end of August. But I realized that I couldn't get absolutely everything done before school starts, so I decided to just focus on organizing my closets. My mom had these space bags that you suck all the air out of to make your stuff smaller, so I decided to get some too. Pooka's closet came first.

These are all of Ivy's past wardrobes - 3 tubs and 6 boxes + some. Does it make anyone else sick too?
And this is what it all shrunk down to!
When I went to get these bags (Bed Bath and Beyond is GREAT!) I couldn't believe how expensive they were (pack of 7 cubes for $40/pack of 12 assorted for $40) and I just cringed but forked over the cash. Before actually using them, I was afraid I would have to go back for more than the $80 worth I spent, but now I am wondering if I have enough stuff to put in the suckers! Ivy's clothes took up 4 bags, and I even did all of the blankets and linens we don't use, so my hall closet is good too! Goodness, I should get paid for this post :) Yah for closet space!
