The beginning of the end for the Christmas decorations. This is a third of the boxes, not counting the trees, that are packed, labeled and ready to be put into the garage. I ask myself "Why did I spend so much time making the "labels" ?! I even took time to customize the ornament colors to match what is in the boxes. It didn't seem weird to me at the time, and I do like looking the "organized chaos", but wouldn't just the descriptions alone be good enough? Oh well, I enjoyed making the dumb labels and I guess that is all there is to it.

O.C.D. or Organization ???

i do admire your organizational skills and hope that like menopause it may magicaly appear in me like a hot flash of genius later in life!
wow. i wish i had one half of your organizational prowess... unfortunately, not even close!
I think your OCD is endearing
OCD "Oh ... you Cute little Devil".
It's just one of the many things about you for which I am envious.
I like to think that a little bit of your OCD has rubbed off on me. I look at that and think, " Of course you would organize things like that." But than my laziness shows through and I just throw everything in a box...figures!!
i dream of the organizational skillz that is you. please tell me what is in the water that you drink. oh wait, it's not water after all. that diet coke has done wonders all these years!
That's SO me. I think it's both OCD & great organizational skills. I have to make labels AND lists of what is in each box AND count, re-count, make sure everything is really in the box ten times. It definitely is OCD for me, but I enjoy it. So I LOVE seeing your fabulous boxes and labels.... and knowing I'm not alone. :)
Well I am certainly impressed! My entire house's Christmas decor fits in about 4 1/2 of those big boxes :) I guess I'll be accumulating more as the years go on; currently they are not labeled at all since I can see what's in there and there aren't many to choose from! I think your labels are lovely :)
