I've heard these phrases on HGTV. Never seriously thought I'd find myself actually "doing" it. :eek: Lord have Mercy is all I can say.:eek:

^5!

I now have a collection of stuff that jsut don't fit in my new decluttered look around here. I got on a kick about 3-4 years ago of getting back to the hellhole after living the vida bonita and cleana in sowal. My place there is void of clutter (unless Mr. K has moved his office in) and when I'd get back here the riot of stuff gave me a headache for days. So, my designer extrodinaire pal and I have slowly, but surely, been going room by room and doing this declutter thing. Some stuff has gone to the kiddies, some in boxes to the attic, some to consignment and some to charity. I am moving on to drawers... :yikes:.

DD...notice I said it has taken me YEARS! We had the time to go very systematically. I think boxes are your friends for stuff you are not completely ready to ditch. :wave:

Just load up all the good stuff and take it to the Old Time Flea Market in

Grandbury, TX. Then take all that money and head back to Sowal.;-)

Good idea!!
I'm not sure how much good stuff there will be though. I'm having trouble parting with some of it. :roll:

Well, it's all out of the closet. Funny how a trip through a closet and down memory lane will motivate a diet. :eek: No mo' hushpuppies for me!! I have some clothes I really love. Guess I'll send 'em to storage until I fan fit my fat ass into 'em again. Refuse to give 'em up. :angry:

I am in the process of ditching many years of accumulated "stuff." There's two things I keep in mind as I progress:

(1) You can't 'organize' clutter! Get rid of the junk--don't "store" it.

(2) When I hit a snag about throwing something out, I envision the little chubby kid on the Ally Bank Commercial who says "It's a piece of junk!" (love it!) YouTube - Ally Bank Truck Commercial

Love that kid!! I've gotten that look from a couple of the grandkids at times. :lol:

Then "release the useless clutter" back into the wild.

Well, I guess I am doing the opposite in some regard. I found a closet full of clothes and got really excited! Most are still fashionable or I can make them be fashionable......and, most still fit! Wahoo~~~~~~~~~

Christmas in August! :lol:
