Freeze Tag

< Before: cluttered >

One of the smaller projects around the house I have been hoping to tackle lately is the cleaning out and organization of the freezer that so kindly stores much of our food supply.  I have been neglecting this project, but finally seized the opportunity to approach the prospect of the freezer project the other day when I had a few minutes to spare.  I threw out a few items that had been in there way too long, wiped down the interior walls and shelves, rearranged like items to be grouped together, and brought in some baskets to help corral loose bags and mixes.  Yes, you may laugh at all of the things I freeze, but I have found that this really helps extend the life of what might otherwise rot or mold in the refrigerator, so long as it is sealed properly to prevent frostbite.  Ever since I completed this project, I have smiled whenever I open the freezer door.  Totally worth the time and effort!

Tell me, what small projects do you have in mind to apply some organization skills to?  Leave a comment and let me know!
