Major Decluttering Battle Won!!
I am so proud of myself- I won a battle I have been having with myself for years today!

I decluttered 100's of sewing patterns, two dressforms that never got used, two chairs, hundreds of books that we were just not rereading.... ahhhh... it feels good in here!

I am so grateful for freecycle!!!!

Cool!!

What did you do with the dressforms? Those are always sought after items around here.

I wish I could get some decluttering done. We're drowning here.

Oh, I know, but I was loathe to ship them because of their size and shape. I gave them to someone local

I am going to attack the fabric next.

Are we going to be allowed to see the fabric? Seriously, I admire you for making such a dent in the clutter!

That is wonderful! I had a little thrill myself today when my son came out of his room with a bag of things he didn't want "sitting in his closet anymore"! YAY! Congratulations and HURAAY for small victories! Wonderful job! Can we see pictures of your new and decluttered space? I bet it looks very inviting to sew in.

Today we finally gave away baby toys that no one wanted to keep. My youngest is still a baby at 39mos but with 3 older siblings we always have tons to hand down!

Sincerely,
Debra

Margaret- you are close enough to come steal stash! I'm going to try to schedule time in the next month or so to pull the whole stash up stairs and have some friends come take what they can use. If you are interested I can email you when the time comes
