Friday Check in

[fred_mouse]

Hi Everyone!

This is your check in for the week ending Friday 6th December. Have you found something to declutter? Made a plan that you can implement later? What are your recent decluttering wins? -- big, small, it all counts.

Open to regulars, drive by commenters, and lurkers alike!

Steady progress, as I thin out the craft supplies. My acrylic paints, one blank canvas and many blank boards went to a friend tonight. Several things went home with a friend yesterday, although I don't remember much of that was. I cleared the table in the main room only to empty some craft boxes and start thinning out what I'm actually keeping.

Best of luck on decluttering the crafts stash. Stars know it repopulates itself readily.

I keep finding more! I swear, this house has developed pocket dimensions that it has been stashing things in. Not helped by the fact that we've been here 20 years, and in the early days I had to keep paints away from inquisitive fingers, so there are any number of foolish places I've found things.

I went to a craft materials swap meet a few months ago and walked away with so many wonderful things--for free, and I've used almost all of them. So decluttering on one end can be a nice boon on the other.

So far so good. It helps that one of my friends is a specialist teacher in a primary school, so has a lot of use for cute things, craft items, and kids books.

So far, so good.

Mom and I began sorting our linens and Christmas ornaments. We donated a tray full of ornaments, but had to throw away a broken one. Also donated some linens.

We still have a few more containers to go through, but at least I was able to clean one out and can hopefully store at least one blanket in it. I want to wash all of the ones that are on an office table that could be hauled away.

Oh, well done on doing the ornaments now, when people are going to use them immediately and get joy from them!
