My messy spot is the kitchen/dining table that becomes a repository for magazines, mail, keys, shopping, and items being moved from one room to the next. I used to blame my daughter but now that she has moved out I have to admit it is on me.<br /><br />Your son and I had the same idea.

(Though not by her methods perhaps.) However, now that I see the book on your nightstand, I immediately got a copy on my Kindle.

Art is a hoarder of all kinds of stuff. I try to tidy up, but I confess it does occasionally get away from me. I've heard about this book. Unfortunately I can't get myself to get rid of the too many towels and sheets. I should though... Maybe soon...Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-74262949837052548472015-07-01T03:15:40.474-04:002015-07-01T03:15:40.474-04:00You have a craft room?

No. Did I bow at things when I followed her method of decluttering/massive dumping of items? I did. Not piece by piece, but when I had a pile of bags, I did. Kind of silly, but it did feel RIGHT giving them all a good bye and honoring them for their service to me. Nice closure, I Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386517479350871434noreply@blogger.com
