My house is bursting at the seams with nearly three decades of accumulated marital possessions, and let us not mention the contents of my sewing room!
I want a soothing and peaceful house, uncluttered and organized. I am good at organizing, so how hard will can this be?
I realized that I simply have too much to organize easily and must begin to own fewer things. How do I decide what to keep? How do I decide what to get rid of?
Whenever I come across an item that I'm not sure to keep or part with, I ask myself this question:
"If I lost this, would I pay money to replace it?"
If I wouldn't pay to replace it, I just might try and get rid of it now.
When I get rid of things, I try really hard to not throw them away. I try to give things away to folks who can use them.
The easiest things to give away are quilting supplies. I can give them away at my guild meetings and when I'm teaching. What quilter doesn't like free stuff???
