Friday Declutter Challenge 14 Nov – take a picture to honour your memories

Thursday, November 13th, 2008


Please encourage all your blog friends to join us in decluttering and choosing to live a simpler life by using the button on your sidebar. Christmas is just around the corner and you need to start taking action so that you don’t just fill up all the spaces you’ve already decluttered.


The Declutter Tip for the week

If you’re sentimental and you find it really, really hard to declutter, take a picture to honour your memories.

Here’s some posts where I wrote about this some more:

Do you have some sentimental items to declutter? Get your camera out, honour the memories but still declutter.

This week I finally decluttered this salt cellar *sob*

My husband received this salt and pepper set from a client YEARS ago (probably 10 years ago) and it’s so unusual that we always get lots of oohs and ahs from dinner guests. Aside from the fact that I just love using it because it’s so pretty.

I LOVE this salt cellar (isn’t it gorgeous?!) but the top’s broken and it’s come off a couple of times, without too much drama.

This week, the top came off and there was salt ALL over my kitchen. I hate mess (can you guess?) so that was the final straw.

Funny thing is I still had that feeling like maybe somehow it could be fixed. Then I realised I should take a picture, blog it and I’d never have to forget about it.

So here it is :)

What did you declutter this week?

Please link to the post on your blog where you show off your pictures or talk about the declutter. Or if you don’t have a blog, tell me in the comments about ANYTHING you got rid of this week.

It can be anything – physical, electronic, mental clutter or even the need to be a certain way. Like perfectionism! :)

What are you going to declutter next week?
