DAY TWO

One this day You will do something special for you & those who live with you.

Grab a black garbage bag Start at your front door
& work you way through your home.

The idea is to fill up your bag with 30 UN-NEED CLUTTER items.
AKA: JUNK
Don't go through the home & have ONLY 15 items...
BIG NO NO...You know you have 30 JUNK items there...
Toss out what you don't need.
Old magazines, loose scribbled on paper,
half empty never gonna use shampoo, half broken toys,
toys from Fast Food PLACES!! etc....

Once you have your JUNK...take it out to the trash.
DO NOT THINK TWICE...GRAB & THROW!!

POOOOF GONE!!!


Next step (after you take a good breather) Grab a box
Go through your home same way-
front door to back last bathroom
& LOAD up 30 Items YOU no longer use or want.

This is the DONATION stage.

Remember this...
No food that is perishable,
No undergarments,
Or Open personal Items!!!

IF you have two of the same things.
But, no use for the 2nd item
DONATE!!

Old picture frames with no pictures inside
DONATE!!

Old Mix Match bed sets (pillow cases, sheets, blankets)
Do Not donate Pillows themselves...That is a garbage thing!
For bed mites are not to be shared-Eww GROSS!!
DONATE!!

Silk flowers
Your Home is not a Cemetery (no pun in tented)
-DONATE!!

Posters that the children don't want
& is stuck in a closet
DONATE!!

Once you have managed to collect 30 items at LEAST
Close the box-secure it with masking tape
take it out to your trunk for donation to local drive or church.

Your Trash is some one else's Treasure!!!

DEEP BREATHE!! GETTING A DRINK of WATER!!

NOW grab a rubber maid tub.
We are going to go through your house just as before
30 items at least of things you want to keep
but, DO NOT need out & about.

Yes of course your home is your self expression
but, come'on-Cluttered down with your nick nacks
is not expression we like to send out to our children & family.

WE can do better!!
We'll pack it up & label it so we may find it again for later use.
& for god sakes-It's not Christmas Take down the lights...
Don't be lazy & keep them up all year long
cause well it's easier then up & down Up & down

Pack up what decorations are UN-Necessary for the season!!!

((**Option**))
If you have a collection of any sorts..
Mines is Disney's Nightmare Before Christmas,
anything Star Wars, & Witch Wizard Hats & sorts,
Any type of Coffee/Tea mugs,cups & Pots.

I had my handy husband make me shelves
we bought some cute L brackets
Up the shelves went on my walls of my office.
My collection items placed up for all to enjoy!!!
& yet opened up lots of space in my living room
where they lived before.

If you have collectibles or special treasures
that you don't have room for or is just taken up
much needed important room
Pack it Up...You can always come back for it later
when you do a redesign of your area.
**I do this once every 6 months to a year**
It's not gone forever...
Just stored away for the time being!!!!


Now don't you feel better!!

Ahhh what a great feeling!!
