I have given it some thought as well and finally have decided that we need to decorate - if only to maintain some semblance of normalcy in the crazy times we're living in. Normally I wouldn't decorate until at least the end of the second week of Dec. but I'm actually thinking of even doing it this weekend. Of course there will be some downsizing involved!Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-53536705371276345772020-11-26T02:07:30.123-05:002020-11-26T02:07:30.123-05:00Good for you!

I've found that putting baskets in problem areas help, things look more tidy and seem more manageable.<br />Amalia<br />xo<br />handmade by amaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589172037052603746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-22701357408478827072020-11-25T22:28:14.435-05:002020-11-25T22:28:14.435-05:00Well, it will be fun to watch what you clear in th...Well, it will be fun to watch what you clear in the new year. If you do. There is no pressure. Re Christmas stuff. I'm so torn over skipping decorating at all, and pulling it all out and sorting through it. I just don't know what I'm feeling up to in that regard at the moment. I don't think I'll be making a decision about that this week, anyway.Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-69511240555281444142020-11-25T22:25:54.593-05:002020-11-25T22:25:54.593-05:00Well, I've sorted through what was mine to sor...Well, I've sorted through what was mine to sort through. DH and his two siblings, have things to sort through. After a lot of hard work and taking care of the "business" of selling MIL's house and "settling her affairs" he's finally settled in to sorting through a lifetime of pictures. He's really enjoying doing that now and I'm so glad for it.Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-1675324722807183092020-11-25T22:24:19.987-05:002020-11-25T22:24:19.987-05:00Actually, it was harder for me to convince hubs th...Actually, it was harder for me to convince hubs than it was for me to be convinced. I've refused to put my favorite cereals in them for a while now, and before I took this picture, hubs held out the last plastic cereal box we owned and said, "Do you want to go ahead and get rid of this finally?"

So ...You're doing well with your making space. So far I've managed to come up with a few things each week but I haven't had time (inclination, maybe?) to search out more. I inherited the urge to clean/clear in January from my mother so I expect I'll do better then. Once I haul out the Christmas 'stuff' I know I'll find a bunch more that I can clear out because every year I am going more and more minimalist with decorations. This year will be an added incentive because we won't be seeing anyone.Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-50219692158774840082020-11-25T10:40:32.439-05:002020-11-25T10:40:32.439-05:00If you have managed to sort through your MIL items...If you have managed to sort through your MIL items in 6 months, I am impressed. I am going on 3 years and am still finding stuff I accumulated from my mom. Ninety items is impressive. I am looking forward to a couple of "slow" weeks next month, so I can once again shift through unnecessary items.

They were the kiss of death for cereal. If I poured the cereal in there it would NEVER be eaten, but if I left in the box it would be all gone. Go figure. I use them for other storage things or got rid of them as well. I use one to keep chocolate chips, coconut (stuff to bake with).Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-30153098870317352932020-11-25T08:25:09.673-05:002020-11-25T08:25:09.673-05:00I definitely endorse the idea of getting things ou...I definitely endorse the idea of getting things out of the house. I don't have a garage so there's no temptation there. I put them straight in the car. I did get caught this year though with lockdown. Ended up driving a loaded car for months until I was able to donate again. But, yes, once you've decided on the destination, load it up. <br />You're doing great with the decluttering. Bit by bit is less disruptive than taking a whole room apart.Boudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621560989986102122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-25479613124867374242020-11-24T22:13:48.945-05:002020-11-24T22:13:48.945-05:00Wow, 90 things gone!
