Hubby asked the other day about one pair of his jeans
yep you guessed it they were in the laundry I "found" them
when I did the laundry this week!

I've started with the next round of de-cluttering and have the car trunk
half full again this week. Sorted out another dresser my half and now have me things
put away after I pulled out the too small stuff and stored away the summer items.
Amazing how that helps!

Have a picture in with the stuff and having less on the walls is refreshing!

Blessed, that is a wonderful story of how you have/are changing. I'm happy for you.

Nancy, you are really cleaning out a lot. I don't like walls overly covered. We were recently in a customer's house. She had everything covered in multiple shelves, pictures, do-dads. DH thought it was very pretty, and though everything was clean, I didn't like it one bit. He and I talked about it, he thinks walls should be used for stuff. He has always wanted our hallway back into the family room to be used for family pictures, like a gallery, covered. I refuse to let him do that. I don't think I could stand it.

In this house I put pretty colors everywhere. I like to see the bare spaces / colors. I do have some pictures hung, but not all over.

I don't like overly cluttered walls either. I think it takes away the importance of what you treasure.
tossed the old pillows from dd15 and put on the new ones I bought on her bed for her to change her sheets.

Way to go Lynlee!

Yesterday on our way home from brunch out
I had hubby stop at the good will store and donated the half of trunk load of items.
That sure felt good!

Stopping by to cheer on Nancy and Lynlee and Harriet who are cleaning and decluttering like tornados these days.

Talked with Sunny who hasn't been by for a few days. She tells me she and DH are working on closets and have lots of stuff pulled out, in that temporary messy state on the way to neat & organized. I hope she gets to stop by to tell us about it.
