cleared some room

I've been lots of de-cluttering, little bits at a time.
Yesterday I went through several boxes of books I have been saving for my daughter.
I got rid of doubles, ratty looking ones and ones that she won't read until she's a lot older. I figure the library will have copies of the ones for when she is older, and they can store them rather than me!
It made a huge difference!

I know! My books are like my best friends!
That's why I only got rid of the ones that I could easily borrow at the library.
Not our 'special' friends!

Yeah, books are a hard one for me to get rid of too, even though I really need to. Ds still has some board books on his shelf. And some of the books on there haven't been read in over a year or 2. Maybe this will give me some inspiration to go and sort through them later.

Books are my achilles heel in the decluttering department. I am going to use your experience for inspiration and see what I can do.
