STUFF be gone!!!

As I mentioned in my last post, I got sheeeit everywhere. Man my house is cluttered to the max! It's making me nuts. How can I possibly focus on crafting or life in general when I got sheeit everywhere? So I have launched an attack. The plan of attack is to focus on one room in the house each week and declutter. I'm gettin rid of EVERYTHING right down the the bare essentials! So far I have three giant black trash bags full of STUFF on its way out the door. Just like tithing, I'm givin till it hurts. The sweet Lord teaches not be a slave to material things and that's exactly what I am. A slave to all my STUFF! The more "material" things that enter this house means more STUFF to keep up with and drive me crazy. It has taken over my life. I have to constantly wash, organize and keep up with the STUFF. So clutter be gone!!!! Oh sure, I could ebay or craigs list or yard sale it all, but it is worth its weight in gold just to be rid of it. I'm hoping once the clutter is gone, I can get back to enjoying the more important things in life...... and maybe a little crafting. That is until Christmas rolls around and we are surrounded by more STUFF. Yeesh.

  4. I am experiencing a similar purging feeling in my life right now. My husband, on the other hand, is extremely sentimental and won't get rid of anything! He is also not the one who cleans the house. I have to make him play "the closet game" where we go through his clothes and pick out what we can give away. I swear I live with a five year old! :)
