I just found this thread today. I had already started organizing because of the christmas thing. The last of the decorations came down and got boxed up. That cleaned up half of the cutting table. The other half got cleaned up when I finished the Raggedy Brick Charity Quilt. Today I took all the plastic bags and separated them by color for the tote recycling project. Don't ask me when I'll actually get around to that because there are many projects in front of it. But at least I know how many bags I have in each color. And they are all flattened and ready for cutting.
The next project is to removed the tin cans and airplane snips from the bottom drawer and put the kits in there so that it doesn't look so messy on the bookshelves.
