I haven't been able to maintain focus on anything this afternoon so I'm flitting around here and there. I put away some LED candles and tea lights that I had left out for a little longer after Christmas but am now tired of. I was going to catalog the movies I kept of my mom's but realized the spreadsheet isn't on my new laptop yet so I gave up on that for now. I decided to tackle the collection of bags and purses I have. It's funny, I don't use regular purses (I carry a tactical backpack as my purse, previously I carried a Russian breadbag I found in the military surplus ) and yet I can't seem to part with these few little purses I still have. I find myself looking at them wondering what I can use them for instead of purses! Do you guys ever do that? Look for ways to justify keeping smthg you never use but might want some day??

I am cutting back on a lot of stuff in our home. I try not to buy anything unless I am taking out stuff too. I don't switch purses too often. I have to go thru my shoes and donate my high heels that I will never wear again.
We went thru DD stuff and made a summer gift box of craft items for a friend's child plus we added a cookie mix. She was so excited to get stickers, poster board, crayons, kiddie books, and to learn how to bake cookies. It was great to see her smile and laugh especially after a school year of Covid. |

I have started the long process of going through old photos of our kids that were taken in the pre-digital era. We will scan them but DH has been slow in doing that so I am going to have him show me how to use the photo quality scanner today. I have 4 boxes to go through. I have already tossed photos and started a "to scan" pile. This wasn't on my decluttering project to-do list for the next few weeks/months but I was looking for some old photos of my parents, found these boxes and decided to tackle it. |

Big changes in my house today. I recycled a shoe box that was falling apart and replaced it with one I had saved this summer.
I love the idea of putting together a gift box like that, DCW. Very cool.

I have a Mary Kay makeup box that I used to use quite a bit but don't anymore. Has slots for eyeshadows, a mirror and area for more makeup. I can't seem to part with the cute pink lil thing. Lol!
