    So sorry for the shaky video and the strange mirror hello. I hope this gives you some ideas of how to store your items. Let me know how you organize or if you have any pointers I’ll love some tips!

    Thank you for sharing your system. Your ready for boxes bags are so organized. I have a couple of tall bookcases with DT cube bins. Each cube is labeled (yes, typed and laminated). This system kept things contained, but since last year with all the sales, my guest room floor and bed resembled a mini hurricane. 😄.

      I usually have a hurricane or two around the house too! 🌀

    Thank you so much for sharing your storage set up! This is the first year I am trying to pack boxes at home, as well as the church and my bedroom looks like a mess! It takes a lot to stay organized for sure! You do a great job! Thanks for all you do. I enjoy your videos so much!

      When we had family living with us I had all of this in our Master Closet. It was cramped but organization was a must to make it all fit. Im spoiled now that I get to spread out in our guest bedroom.

    You have great organization! I try to stay organized but everything gets pulled out and spread out all over the bed and floor when I pack a few boxes and it usually stays that way until I have house guests or my daughters come home. Then I need to shove everything back in the closets lol. I love your under the bed storage containers! One thing I do use in my spare bedrooms is over the door hanging storage bags meant for shoes, except that’s where I store my underwear and socks. They are all arranged by size and gender. Thanks for sharing your storage solutions 🙂

      Full confession mine gets spread out all over to room too! The only reason it looked so nice is that my father-in-law was visiting this weekend so I put it all up. I took advantage of the clean room to shoot the video. 🤣

    Hi Robynn, Thanks for sharing your storage tips - Wow! You are organised. I love the colour coding!
    Recently, I spoke to my sister about my shoebox plans and said I needed a red notebook. She commented something about having OCD. I dismissed her by saying, my mostly blue boy's box neeed a pop of colour. I'm now thinking about purchasing and storing colour coded "pops of colour items."
    As for the use of store bags, these are my go to to. As I pack my shoeboxes, I often have a bag for items that I have swapped out or didn't fit.
    And if you want to know madness. This week, I have been matching up stationary brands - pens, writing/school pencils and coloured pencils. 🤪

    • @mattmanandrobynn

      Storage bags seem so much lighter than bins. Also I can squash them into spaces that aren’t perfectly squared. Great minds think alike.

      I have problems lol. and It doesn't always look like this, you should see it right now in the midst of packing.

  • @joyfulhome1261

    What a fabulous system!! I love how you've used both underbed and closet (and soon drawer) storage. And that's really helpful to see how you've arranged the in process bags in the large tote bags. (My in process bags are currently on the floor in one corner of the livingroom....definitely need a better system! 🤪) Also love how you've sorted things by color! Thank you for sharing these great ideas!! Can't wait to put them in practice! 😃

    LOL, it's East Coast Stories. I wish I lived in the West Coast! Yup, I think I may be the first to add the play rings in the heart containers. I thought it would elevate the gift of the ring. Thanks for sharing your organization for OCC! You are much neater than me. I also use IKEA bags, they are my favorite.

    • @mattmanandrobynn
      @mattmanandrobynn  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ikea bags save the day. I’ll remember East Coast from now on. Lol.

    I have often found nice storage bins at thrift stores. They usually have something like "kitchen stuff" written on them but otherwise they are fine. The price is about $2-3 usually. I have so many OCC bins in my spare room that I can barely access everything. This year I came into a windfall of plush toys. They are nice but quite bulky to store.

    Robynn, great video, almost all of my items are still tied up in the store bags , flung all over my basement/ lower level family room. It's looks like a tornado hit a store. So your video came a a perfect time for me , to inspire me to get started. I'm really big into color coding to. And I also use those same 2 1/2 gallon bags. On a sad note I went to my closest Dollar Tree yesterday and it's hit the 1.25 price, but that can't be helped so I'll adjust as we all will. I use them as you do to prepare each box. I didn't think your video was to shaky. You did great, love you too.,Tracy

      Those crazy plastic store bags drive me bonkers! Mine usually hang on the backs of our dining room chairs. 🤪

    Thanks for sharing! You gave me some great ideas and I love the under bed storage. Never thought to do that. I don't have a room to store my items so they are in 3 different places, but under the bed is so perfect!

    • @mattmanandrobynn
      @mattmanandrobynn  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Such an underutilized area. Really ikea’s As-is section gave me the idea. Necessity is the mother of invention, that and my obsession with clearance shopping. 🤣

    Awesome video! I've been planning on doing one of these videos of my storage because I always think it's so fun to see how people organize things. I love organizing! You've definitely got me thinking I should color code things a little bit more. I think that's a great idea. Thanks for sharing!

      @mattmanandrobynn  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      🙋‍♀️ me, me, me… this girl, me too! My disaster gets all over the house. Mattman and I say OCC exploded. Really we were having family over so I cleaned and took advantage of the rare moment to film this video. 🤣 it is how I organize but there is usually piles and piles of things needing to be sorted. 🤦‍♀️

    • @denise5457
      @denise5457 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have OCD tendencies too. I tend to get in my own way and suffer from paralysis by analysis. Sometimes it's a challenge to just get started, especially once things pile up. It's great that Mattman is understanding. 😊

    Oh how I need some organization in my OCC life!! 😆 I'm trying to inventory my storage areas and it literally looks like a bomb went off!! I'm so glad you shared as I love see what others do to organize!! Oh your color coding is beautiful 😍 you're inspiring me!! Thanks friend for sharing all these tips, going to save and watch again as I'm organizing my OCC "warehouse" 🤪

    Lovely home and awesome storage organizational skills! Do you have packing parties by any chance? L0L! You could start packing boxes now with all that stuff!

    • @mattmanandrobynn
      @mattmanandrobynn  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is really only my second year of Bulk Shoeboxing. In the past I usually did 6 one for each age/gender. Last year was my first year to do 20 so I've never done a packing party. I go to a really really small home church with like 20 people including the kiddos and I tried last year but no one really was into it.

  • @stefaniew9411
    @stefaniew9411 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    You are so organized! And the video was not shaky! How do you keep track of the things you still need to purchase to complete a box? And do you have a list of all the boxes you are doing? Last year I tried to keep the info of all my boxes on my mobile, so that I could consult my list when I was out shopping, but that just doesn't work anymore because I make much more boxes. But when I don't track the content of my boxes I just forget and buy random stuff and far too much😬🤪

    • @mattmanandrobynn
      @mattmanandrobynn  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. Lots of random stuff gets purchased. Lol I do my best through memory 😳 Bad idea. I try to keep a list on my phone too and switch up how I organize it. I still haven’t perfected my list methods. 🤷‍♀️ very much a work in progress. But I do have a paper check list I use when packing that helps a lot!!!

    Hi Robynn! Love watching your videos! I donate school supplies back home in the Philippines. I have bins and bins (12 or more) of stuff in the basement hehe. Is it better to organize by theme or color coding? -Lily from Toronto

    • @mattmanandrobynn
      @mattmanandrobynn  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Lily! I organize by both because all of my items go to Samaritans Purse and I send these gifts in shoeboxes by theme. I only organize my school supplies by color because I coordinate the school supplies going into the boxes to match the colors of the theme. Like a Mickey Mouse theme box could get red school supplies.
      I suppose if I was only storing school supplies I would organize them by style. Like all #2 pencils together and all decorative pencils together, all black pens together, and so on and so on. I hope this helps.
