The first thing I did was take the drawer out and emptied it into a cardboard box. I then started to separate out everything into neat little piles. The things that have no business in the drawer were put where they belonged and everything that didn't have a use or sentimental value was tossed. As you can see I had some interesting things in the drawer....incense, paint palette, floral tape as well as other types of tape, the all important 3x5 index cards, old greeting cards, old hand cream, used light bulb, old phone, hair clips, lids, toothbrush, clippers, pens that don't work, pencils that do, rubber bands, recipe card, Altoid box full of nails, and string. Actually, this drawer wasn't so bad...there have been worse messes in my house. But, that's another story.
The "after" picture would not upload. Now isn't that interesting! I tried three times, too! Needless to say, I feel so much better knowing my junk drawer is cleaned up and less messy.
Do you have a messy drawer that needs to be cleaned up? Tell me about it!

Here at the condo I only have one messy drawer cuz all my clutter remained in my house in Seattle. There I have several messy drawers, ugh. Your drawer looks great. My messy drawer here is in the bathroom where we throw all the travel little bottles of stuff from hotels and other little junk...
Oh yeah, I have a couple of messy drawers. But they will have to wait until summer vacation arrives and the floor repair people finish their jobs.
