Another bag of treasures went to the thrift store. I'm sure someone out there will appreciate the sacrifice I made and enjoy wearing the clothes that no longer fit in my wardrobe or my lifestyle (or my body size).

A second cousin twice removed contacted me on Friday and asked me to scan some old family photographs he knew I had. He's writing up a family history and wants to include as many images as he can get. That did give me a chance to sort through and organize the box of photos a bit. Does that count as work on the de-cluttering project?

What area do you intend to tackle this week? What do you think you will find? More importantly, what will you do with it?
Well, you managed more than I did this week and, yes, I think sorting through your photos does count as a declutter task :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your old photos.
In case you were wondering, my mother's grandmother and my great-grandmother in the photos are one and the same person. She looked old even when my mother was a child. Come to think of it, I guess she was well past middle-age by 1940, having been born in 1873. She would have been in her 80's by the time I was born.
DeleteNice to see someone accomplished this task this week. I had a very busy week, but no uncluttering got done. Sorting out photo counts. Heck, if I even sort out the photos I've taken in the past month, I'd be doing well, and they are all on the computer! Good girl. I promise to do better next week.
