I have read back through all the pages for this month and still love this quote from Blessedw2:
hello to fellow members of the de-clutter hero league!!! You are doing wonders!
It's true, you have all been doing stellar work.
Yesterday while I was looking for something else, I ran into a couple of Christmas decor items that I decided could be given up. Both were gifts which is the only reason they were still around this long.
One is a basket that looks worn out, so I tossed it.
The other I have never used because the person who gave it to me broke it right after I opened the package. It was a plaster folk art Santa figurine -- the cutesy style, not the European Olde World style. DSisIL was holding it while she told me where she found it, and she dropped it. 2 pieces broke off but I thought at the time that they would be easy to glue back on.
Of course, by the time we came home from 2 big family parties on that same night, I just set the figurine aside to mend later, and then ... other things took priority. That was a few years ago. Yesterday when I found it again, I decided to take a good look and see if I could fix it right away. I decided that I didn't really like it enough to spend that much time on it, so I threw it away.
Next week I should have some blocks of time to dig into decluttering.
