Here it is! Day 1 of Closet Diving

So this past weekend I finally did a serious Closet Dive! I jumped right in and this is just some of the stuff I found.

First thing was a modem I bought about a year ago! I am sure some of you are thinking, why in the world would you buy a modem! Here is why, I was trying to save my mom some money, and the monthly rental fee from the cable company is kind of, well absolutely ridiculous, so I decided to buy her a modem, well before I knew it, she had her rented modem and if my mom is one thing, she is hesitant to change, poor lady cant even change the channel on the TV with out needing help getting it back to the previous channel. I love my mom, she is great mom and I know she loves me, but technology is not her strong suit and if something is working, don't change it! so the modem will be listed on E bay!

A few other things I found were scrap material that I am going to make some sachets out of, the material is perfect for Valentines Day.

I have some essential oils and whole flax seeds to fill them with. I am really super excited about this idea. I will post some pics of the finished products as soon as I get them made. 

I think I am also going to make some hanging heart decorations, I love decorating for the holidays and I have some really fun, easy idea's for the next few holidays! 

One of the ideas for Valentine's Day is paper roses,  I found some tissue paper streamers in the closet that I will use to make them, I am going to sit them around in bowls, glass vases, etc. 

These will be paper roses when I am all done.  

Pictures of these will be posted soon as well.

I am going to attack my clothes closet soon and send more stuff to the consignment store and try to come up with some cute outfits. I am really excited to actually start closet diving and make use of or get rid of some stuff..... as always, the rules change as I go. The one hard fast rule is NO BUYING, NO SPENDING, Free is OK, but no money of mine can be spent on more stuff.

I am encouraging you all to take the time to clean out your closets out as well... there are a few suggestions that will make it really easy....

1 - Get rid of anything that you just do not like, you will not wear it if you do not like it.
2- Get rid of duplicates, you do not need 3 of the same black t shirt.
3- Get rid of anything from a previous version of your life. If you use to be a party girl and you still have your party girl clothes and now you are a soccer mom, there is no reason to hold on to your mini skirts and halter tops.
4 - Get rid of anything that just doesn't fit, or fit your body shape. If you have a items in your closet that are your size but the fit makes you look like your pregnant and every time you wear it, you get asked when you are due, get rid of it! Also get rid of the clothes that are way to big or way to small.
5- Get rid of anything that is damaged - stained, ripped, busted zipper, etc. If it is an item you love and is worth spending the money on to get it repaired, then get it repaired, but don't keep items you won't or can't wear because they look horrible to wear.



Ok Ladies and Gents, that is all for now, I will be back soon with pictures and ideas and successes as well as some failures, I love that I am committed to doing this. I hope some of you will start your own journey and learn to live off your closet!
