Mission Organization: Jewelry Drawer

January 3, 2013  Organization | Uncategorized

The jumbled jewelry drawer taunted me
My heart was all a flutter.

I needed to find my vintage brooch
Hidden among the clutter.

I vowed to organize every bracelet, necklace and ring

Before the day was over.

Hoping to easily find my favorite bling
And not have to borrow from a neighbor.

The task was daunting
I wasn’t sure I’d finish on time.

It had me yearning and wanting
To curl up with a huge glass of wine.

But instead I pushed on
That drawer was no match for me.

Now it’s gorgeous and glam
And my bling is as organized as can be.

The moral of the story
Is as old as time.

You’ll succeed in a blaze of glory
And be rewarded with a big glass of wine.

Epilogue:  I found my vintage brooch and lived happily ever after.

(and the wine was delicious)!

 

I’ll be organizing up a storm all year long – check out all of my Organization Ideas Here.

    Your drawer looks amazing! I’ve used a wooden cutlery drawer divider to organize mine, works not too bad. How do you keep the cups from sliding when you open the drawer? Did you glue them down?
    And I love your poem!

    Great job. I have been thinking my jewelry is getting out of hand. And I have a drawer in the bathroom that is basically just a junk drawer. Might have to reorganize 😉

    Oh, I just did the same thing. I organized all of my jewelry, gave some away, and just prettied it all up. Love finding things that I had forgotten I had.

    I love organizing stuff! Nuts? Maybe, but I am so much happier when I know where eveything is and the clutter is gone! I’m getting ready to attack my evil vortex garage. NOW THAT’S NUTS! Enjoy your organization projects! Hugs, Leena

    Kelly! First, so glad you found the brooch! Second, your new accessories drawer is amazing (and so are the baubles we spy in there)! Can’t wait to see the rest of what you’ve got coming this year. Will you come down to NC and organize our place?

    xoxo,

    What a very clever way of storing and organizing your jewelry drawer. I have one that is capable of being organized but is badly in need of order.

    Super job! You will be more apt to wear all your jewelry when you can actually see it all in the drawer. My jewelry needs this! 🙂
