#cluttercleanup 2024. Pastel Station, Round 2

Circling back to the pastels problem.

Last week, I gave up on attempting to organize them:

I printed out the sketch and colored it in with the corresponding pastels. I didn't do this on the original sketch because too messy.

As I did that, I put the pastels with their pastel friends in the boxes and drawers.

I was ready to give up again, yet I soldiered on.

I have a lot of pastels!

Ready to go!

I still have a pile of random sticks - I think this might be the result of a bunch that fell out of a box.

When I'm in a super organizey mood, I'll tackle them.
