Welcome to week 12 of A Bowl Full of Lemons 14 Week Organizing Challenge. This week we are cleaning out and organizing our master closets. Now’s a great time to swap out seasonal clothing and freshen up your wardrobe. If you haven’t worn clothing in the last year, it might be a good idea to purge. Closet space is precious and you don’t want to waste space on things you don’t use. Have a great week organizing!
If this is your first time participating in the challenge, welcome! Each week, you will receive a new challenge & you will have 7 days to complete it. If you are not subscribed to my blog & want reminders for the weekly challenges, you can sign up here. The first thing you need to do is print out your 14 Week Schedule. You can hang it on your fridge and check it off as you go. Print it out here.

Even though I’m an organizer, I really need to work on my closet! It’s chock full of some clothes I don’t love, some things that are not in season and so on. Sometimes, I find just refolding things can make a big difference!
Wow your closet is everyones dream. I enjoyed redoing ours but on a much smaller footprint. These challenges have been a great way to eliminate “stuff” and donate. Great fun re-organizing.
