The past five years have really put me in a very unorganized position and for some who has always been very organized it is not a comfortable place to be. My goal is to get going this year.

Now that I have the inspiration, all I need now is the energy!!

Funny - we long ago got rid of our record albums, but recently, after one of our sons bought us a turn table and speakers we've accumulated some new oldies to listen to. It's totally a nostalgia thing. And I hear you on the trophies. I'm thinking they have maybe been gone through and possibly gotten rid of, as I couldn't tell you where they are anymore. Someday, I'll have to figure out what to do with the many years of 4-H ribbons they accumulated. I know my sons aren't going to want them. But I've saved them all these years! So now what?!?Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-41510982428075170932020-01-31T13:55:29.859-06:002020-01-31T13:55:29.859-06:00You have certainly done well with your declutterin...You have certainly done well with your decluttering efforts, Sandy! Had to laugh at the trophies as our youngest son had boxes of them, too. A few years ago, we agreed to just take a photo of them and out they went. He did keep one very special one--the trophy he got for being the most fair player on the soccer team :) <br /><br />At this point, I'm really feeling the need to pare down my stitching charts so I may begin to list a few on my blog... we'll see. Hope you have a relaxing weekend ♥Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-5975976899527558272020-01-30T20:49:59.550-06:002020-01-30T20:49:59.550-06:00Sandy, I am glad you are feeling good about the de...Sandy, I am glad you are feeling good about the decluttering you have been doing over the years. I have started again and my goal is to make more than a half-hearted effort. One step or in this case, one room at a time.

I need to begin with my own closet. I realized that I have not worn many things in there for some time, and it is time to get them out of there so my"real clothes" can breathe! We moved this past year, and we did get rid of quite a bit, but I know there is still a lot to go. It is time consuming. I have way too many things that were inherited or special gifts that I just haven't been able to part with yet. Someday, but not yet. A little at a time. But you have encouraged me to keep working at it. Thank you.Pamela M.

Not a lot, but they re-sell them in their store for pretty cheap! I love that store! Just an idea. I'm getting ready to take a bunch of that kind of stuff to our local store from my mom's estate. <br /><br />Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297598468659688857noreply@blogger.com
