When it is full, I empty it and take the contents to one of the thrift stores. We're too far out to have garage sales, but I recently took a truck load of things to my Mom who lives 9 hours away. She is having a garage sale this fall so I am hoping our things will find new homes then. I hope your sale is very successful! It's amazing what comes out of the nooks and crannies of a home!Ranch Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581852590008365006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-92045506555519194472014-07-11T19:47:19.466-06:002014-07-11T19:47:19.466-06:00I am looking forward to having time to deal with t...I am looking forward to having time to deal with the clutter!

When I'm done with books, there are usually others that want to read them. Through the past couple of months, I've cleaned out old clothes that are too large (or that I don't wear) and household stuff. All went to the Goodwill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-15706853416295104972014-07-08T18:26:20.425-06:002014-07-08T18:26:20.425-06:00I had a garage sale.

This is a really big house with room for lots of stuff and somehow we've ended up with boxes of things belonging to adult children and dead relatives. <br /><br />This summer I've begun to tackle it a little at a time. Right now I have 3 boxes of kitchen things and decorator items ready to take to Goodwill. But ironically just this morning I found a tub in the basement that I thought was empty that turned out to be full of fabric.

I'm not looking forward to it but it is VERY necessary! <br /><br />I like your idea of scanning photos and giving the photos to family members. I think I will try that.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450679959206351852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-62989761985960064232014-07-08T08:01:15.998-06:002014-07-08T08:01:15.998-06:00I try to muck out little areas at a time but "...I try to muck out little areas at a time but "stuff" still piles up...I think for me my famous saying "for now" creates my problem:)Changes in the windhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06942797186537814864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-39058533618865948032014-07-08T07:35:06.753-06:002014-07-08T07:35:06.753-06:00I don't have a strategy and that's the pro...I don't have a strategy and that's the problem.
