De-junking

We are in the process of purchasing a Ridgestone Condo in Payson! We have signed the purchase contract; picked out cabinets, tile, carpet, countertops, etc...; and started processing our loan. I can't wait for it to be all done. Below is a picture of the model home we walked through. We went with the same cabinets. Our countertops will be a similar light color but the tile on the floor will be darker. More pictures will come when we actually have ours built!

So I have been working on de-junking our little apartment. I went through my closet over the weekend and got rid of a lot of clothes that don't fit or I just don't like anymore. I can't believe I was able to detached from clothes! I felt like I needed an intervention like on hoarders :) Causes me anxiety to get rid of stuff that I once was crazy about! But satifaction of a cleaner, more organized closet sounds much better.
Our linen closet has been FULL of puzzles and I knew that I needed to go through them. Today I tackled this project!

These are the puzzles I kept (64--because the big packs on the end have 10/each)
and these are the ones I'm getting rid of (32--1/3 of the original stash)
This puzzle has never been open. I believe that one of my aunts got it for g-ma for christmas, ?maybe. If YOU are reading this and recognize this puzzle, I would be glad to get it back to you. Otherwise it will stay with my new stash. I know it had some sort of sentimental value so I can't get rid of this one :)
After going through my puzzles I decided that I really would like to organize them further. My first thought is to put them in boxes that are ALL the same size so that they stack much easier. I did a quick search and found the above picture that I really like but the downfall is that they are NOT cheap and I need 64! haha Eventually I hope to come up with some fabulous idea. (if any of you come up with one before me, let me know!)
I made this for Wendy's baby shower coming up later this month! Got the idea from pinterest :)
and I wanted to share this picture. Aaawh Nikki sleeps with her mice
