Michi Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Not sure where these pics fit, but decided since it's mostly candle supplies I may as well post it here.This is my candle supply mess! I've got to have all this cleaned up by tomorrow afternoon! I don't even know where to start, or where the heck I'm gonna put all this crap!!I'm hosting Thanksgiving at MY house, and yep, that' my dining area, that's become my candle supply area.This is all accumulated within the last 10 months! Well, almost 11 months! LOLAnd yet, here I sit, just taking pics. of it, posting them here, and not doing a gosh darn thing about this HUGE mess. Talk about procrastination!!!!!!I just don't even know where to begin, and when that happens I just ignore it. LOLAnyway, here ya go: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragontears Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 wow thats alot of stuff lol i think you can get it done by then , hope u find a place for it all lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Holy Moly! That's a lot of stuff to put away! You've got to start some where so why don't you start by gathering all of your fragrance oils and put them in a box, and then go from there. Thanksgiving is only a couple of days away so you don't have much time...you'd better get a move on girl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 Yah I know! I refinished that dresser so it would look nice in the kitchen but be functional to put all my supplies in.As you can see, the drawers are overflowin' (can't even shut them now) and the overspill is EVERYWHERE, definitely not big enough!! LOLI keep tellin' hubby I need my own room, hint hint, but he doesn't seem to be gettin' it!! LOLPlus my hutch out in the living room, is full of stuff mostly finished candles and empty jars and tart burners etc. I just have NO idea where I'm gonna put all this stuff, hubby said if I put it out in the garage I'd be in big trouble. (I've already got a craft desk overflowin' out there too!!)What's an addict to do?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I feel your pain - I can't find my dining room table either. Wrapping tissue, cellophane, an order that someone did online last month but never paid for (I still hope they'll send the check lol), soap decks that need their label, a few misc votives that need to be wrapped....I'll probably just throw it all in the spare bedroom on top of all the other stuff I've thrown in there - it's one of those bedroom where you open door-throw stuff-close door : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 my dinning room looks the same way only I'm not having company for T'day so I can leave my stuff right where it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 Uh Pam thanks for rubbin' it in you brat!! LOLI sure wish I had a spare room, I'd even throw it in one of the kids' rooms if I didn't need to use those for my company to sleep in. LOLI've been sitting here trying to figure out how I can disguise it somehow/someway. LOLI mean I still have to move it out of the dining area, but I don't have anywhere to really stick it (closets are overflowin' already), so I was trying to think of a corner I could stick it in and hide it somehow. LOI'm getting desperate here, but obviously not desperate enough, cuz I'm still sittin' on my butt!! Where there's a will there's a way right? Now I just have to find the WILL, where the heck is that Will??!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 LOL! My kitchen isn't quite that bad, but it is close. Stuff stacked all over, in 2 hutches, in the corner, under a cart, on top of a cart. Luckily, we are just cooking most of the dinner here and taking it to my inlaws across town, yea!

Bev Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I say stick it in the garage for now. I feel your pain as well ... my stuff is EVERYWHERE! Laundry room, spare bedroom, coat closet, kitchen cupboard, garage ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaD Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Geez, I am so glad to know that I am not the only one in this boat.I have one whole corner PILED up with candle stuff. In my LIVING ROOM. Ugh. NO where to put it. Our house is tinier than tiny. I have people coming over on Thursday, and have NO idea where I am going to put this stuff.

ScentsandMore Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Put it in your bedrooms, lock the doors and dare anyone to unlock them. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Go pick up a few of those big plastic totes to cram it all in. Then stack them in the corner and toss a piece of autumn print fabric over it(or a folded sheet). Ta Da! Mess is gone and you have an extra surface to set other stuff on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 put the stuff in file boxes, stack them neatly, cover w/nice table cloth and put your candles on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairieannie Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Michi I think Ducky is on to something here...those plastic containers are pretty cheap at big lots or the dollar store I think...get 10 or 15 of those suckers, and start filling them, once covered you could create a food buffet out of them even!! Do it Do it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I feel your pain - I can't find my dining room table either. Hehehe.......I think I may have a dinning room table......I remember buying one several years ago......and we are having a little birthday party for my 3 year old granddaughter on Sat......ick.....now I have to find a place for all of that stuff. Thanks for sharing your mess.....I love it.....now I don't feel bad at all......I thought I had a terrible defect. Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlelovr Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Yep, I just had to clean off my dining room table and put everything in boxes since Im working ALL DAY tomorrow and wont have any time on Thursday with all the cooking I'll be doing! My kitchen has been a mess too but I dont have as much stuff as you, so it only took me about 20 mins. Now I gotta figure out what to do with all the boxes! Hehe! Good Luck!

tlc26 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Or get the long flat containers that you slide under the bed. Those work wonders for me!!! My mess is worse though, and I just did major clean up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroom2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I think I have the best idea yet.. Maybe not but its a thought.Go to Big Lots, Odd Lots, Wally World and buy 2 of the big rubbermaid containers. Put all the valuable stuff in one of them, the not so valuable stuff in the other. Now here is the fun part... Slap a UPS label on them and I will PM you my address.... I have a basement that is just begging for more stuff!!! Good luck and let me know when you ship Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern-Marie Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 It would probably be easier to set up a buffet in the living room....?Put in a good movie, or football game...and make a day of buffet.Other than that...how many friends can you get to come over in a hurry?

Mozzie Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I say, chuck it all in the boot of your car and worry about sorting it later once the rellies have gone. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
