the great purge continues...

so the great purge of 09 continues, and i have taken at least a car load of stuff out of my house just in the last week. i started the purge in the spring and figured i'd be done by now. however, i underestimated how much junk stuff i have to go through. most everything has been given away or taken to the goodwill, except for that one truck load that went to the landfill. i think when the dresser falls apart as you are carrying it up the basement stairs, you just have to trash it. not that i had that experience or anything.

i was thinking i should have kept track of how much stuff i bagged and boxed up, but then realized that would be pretty embarrassing. what is really cool is the way my shelves and hanging clothes are not crammed together. i can actually see what is there without having to get my upper body workout.

of course when i take a break, i sit and scrap for a little bit. here are some recent cards.

 

 

 

it's hard to see from the scan, but this one says "have courage"

 

so now it's back to the great purge. if anyone has any great purging/cleaning out stories please share! it will keep me motivated so i can get this done before january. or this will have to become the great purge of 09-10. and that just doesn't have the same ring to it.

thanks for stopping by!
