Oh how I love Mondays. As Seanna would call them... Jammie days! We don't get dressed and it's just a day to put the house back together after the weekend. This Mama-maid, tries not to clean on the weekends so when Monday rolls around there is plenty to do. Look at what a little cleaning finds. These are the treasures I found in my couch, I did not even take the time to move the couch and see what lurks below! How does some of this stuff get there? I can understand the change, and the remote, but a pumpkin carver, 5 spoons, and best of all... a railroad tie? How in the world? I laughed at myself and thought, this could be so fun... lets all confess our little hiding spots. You know the ones that are clean on the outside, but when you look under or open it you could have your own garage sale with the random things you find.
So, lets compete... Who has more in their couch? Or maybe it's under your bed, maybe the hall closet. Where are your spoons hiding? Let the games begin... All you have to do is post a link back to this post, and enter your link in the "Mr. Linky" form at the bottom of my post. I am fine with the fact that I have areas in my house that are just dirty. H
can i have those pringles?
mmmmmmmm

This was fun and disturbing for me. I now realize the Travis family needs a maid...or a bloodhound! Have a great day!

This challenge is perfect for me, I just need to decide where to start. In the mean time, here's a pic of my living room that I blogged about last week. http://kristyblack.wordpress.com/2008/06/22/my-living-room/

I bet that milk was sweet smelling...I just found a sour sippy cup under one of the seats in my car...I was thankful it hadn't leaked. It was so ripe I had to throw it away!

This just screams to become a workshop in Marchenstudios line up: "Altered Art - chronicling your life with found pieces- the sofa series"
And I love that I'm apparently not the only person who has the odd railroad tie laying around the house!

I posted up one of many junk drawers.

I've been doing a massive clean out of the exact kinds of areas you're talking about, and didn't think to take pics. Junk drawers, closets, under kids' beds, in the 412 bags the my kids fill up with things. But I DO have pics of the kinds of things I find in my house that were 'designed' by the wee pack rats that I am apparently raising.

OK. Mine's up, but...the closet is sooo bad that I've got nothing to say about it! *sigh*

ROFL... Actually, my house has several *ahem* "hiding spots," but by far the worst is our sofa table drawer.
You seriously must open at your own risk!
I've pretty much given up on it and now it's just a "catch-all" for anything without a home. ;>)

Not so much my house....but my car...the trunk is aweful...and it's a 4runner so it's not closed off...I feel SO badly for the people in the back seat having to smell it! Ha. Just kidding-it doesn't small...I don't think

In my sofa there are broken crayons, cherrios, popcorn, flattened socks, cereal bar wrappers, pencils, polly pockets and occasionally my bra. You never know when the mood is going to strike you when you and the man are watching a movie late at night and the kids are asleep. LOL
I am notorious for junk drawers...you know, a place to put your crap when they don't really have a place. Right now I have an antique buffet whose sole purpose is to serve as a junk drawer. It's a junk buffet.

Our frig has to be the most disgusting place in our house....Honestly, I don't know why we save the leftovers to toss them out weeks later after layers upon layers of mold have grown on them...so gross....
