Hooray for all the sorting and for getting things ready to leave the house -- that is a big part of the battle, even if it's important not to get stuck on getting them out of the door.

I ditched a handful of envelopes when I tried to use one and realized that they were all so old the glue had gone on all of them. I also took a dozen or so books that I sorted out a couple of weeks back to the book donation bin. So now I have the space to create another donation pile. :-)
