Arts &Crafts, How-To's, Upcycling & Repurposing

Where can you reduce clutter in your life?

Decluttering. Going through possessions to get rid of them. Or You can Decluttering your life from mental stress.

I started the new year with both. Got rid of toxic friends in my life. Someone that is a very selfish person, they don’t care about your own life, and if you talk about what’s going on in your world they don’t care. They don’t listen. A compulsive lier as well. So they are gone.

I put the rule of thumb out there in my house for the new year- if you haven’t touched it in 2 years, get rid of it. So I’ve been doing exactly that. I’m all for saving things that mean something to you or having that favorite sweater or holding onto those pair of jeans you want to fit in. Even saving things to up-cycle. But when you have things laying around that haven’t been touched since we moved, 2-3 years ago. It makes you wonder why you still have it. If I have duplicates of something I see if someone else wants it. Like yesterday I was going through my stain glass supplies. I have two 1.5lb tubs of kiln wash. I’ll give one to my mom. The stuffs not cheap and one tub alone can last me years.

The bottom of the list are my kids old board games and legos. They are old enough now that some of the games are for younger kids. Time for those games to go.

Decluttering your life is never easy, whether it’s mentally Decluttering or physical items. Kudos to those who have everything in order.
