Saffron, I just saw that you reached 2015! I finally have something to report, I cleaned out some desk drawers that hold note cards and envelopes and was able to throw a bunch of things away--120 pieces. Plus I threw out 2 socks, 5 pens and a bird perch that I replaced, I talked myself out of saving the old one "just in case". (In case of a bird perch emergency?) So 128 items this time. Diane

Diane Yep, it was mostly papers, but now I'm getting into some interesting things, like the Chinese decorative tin. I clung to that for years, but now I'm totally over it. Good job on getting rid of the perch!

I'm on board with the Purge a thon ! The more clutter I can remove... the easier I can keep things clean and where they go. I dream of everything fitting in the space allotted with some room left over. There is more to life than shuffling clutter around.

Thanks for the reminder PG! Been sick for a while, so barely taking care of the day-to-day. I did recently go through 2 boxes of papers from my Mom's estate, and easily tossed several hundred pieces of paper. I didn't count it, so I'm not going to log it. What I will do, it add "2" to my count, for the boxes.
