Hello my very dear friend, I’ve been busy the past couple of days packing up all the remaining winter/ valentines decor. I find it so freeing when I clear the decks so to speak. I’ve been looking for some nice artificial bright spring flowers to brighten up the home, really not much choice in the shops here, that’s why I end up on Amazon, at least I buy through smile Amazon which donates a small percentage to the charity of my choice, In my case as you can imagine it’s to the Epilepsy research. Every penny helps😊 I thought of you when I was boxing up the valentines items, I cut out nice big hearts on my cricut, that way when hubby goes in the loft he can spot which box I’m wanting. I’ll do the same for the Easter items.👍🏻😊 Basements used to be a thing in the UK, the very old house frequently still have them but the past hundred years or so they fell out of favour I think, I certainly wish we had one! Well done on yet another declutter/ organise. So lovely seeing you again. As ever my lovely, much love and light to you. 🥰🥰🥰🥰xx
Hi Pam!! I love the idea of the hearts on the box! I still need to decorate most of my rooms for spring! Since I want to film it and I haven't, I am still seeing hearts in most rooms!! Soon!! 🌸🌼🌸 Love and light right back, dear friend!! 🌹♥️🌹
I say keep the pink top, its a bright pop of color for spring! You are tackling those cardboard boxes! I really love that you take pictures of things for your kids, plus getting such a quick response saying let it go is awesome! Can't wait to see your son's dorm clean video!! Have a great weekend
Thanks for your input, Sharon!! It does feel good to get rid of the cardboard boxes!! I just downloaded Fran's video from my text to have it ready!! Have a great weekend!! 🌸💗
What a fun bunch of boxes to go thru! My mom saved a lot of my dolls and I was very happy to have them when I got older. One very special one (a Kissy doll) from when I was 5 or 6 that appears in nearly all of my childhood photos got a makeover and a pretty new velvet dress. She sits near the Christmas tree each year in a mini kid size rocker that was mine. So she has become very special Christmas decoration now! I get a rush each time you empty a box! Yay!!! So glad you are switching to plastic. I can attest to totally destroyed cardboard boxes (by bugs) in my mom’s attic when I had to empty her house. Have a fun weekend! Ps love your hair up! Hugs! Em 🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸❤️❤️❤️
Thanks, Em, for all of the encouragement!! I love that you still have your doll!! So sweet...♥️ My dad was a minimalist before it was a thing so I have none of that! I enjoying the switch to plastic as things look so much nicer, too! Thanks for always being here Em! I appreciate your friendship!! 🌼☀️
If you have duplicates of photos that have only one of your children in them, you might offer them to your other children. They won't necessarily want only the photos that show themselves. I know I enjoy seeing photos of my siblings when they were younger.
I keep group photos and toss photos with just 1 or 2 family members to save space hahaha I can’t keep all the photos. If I kept each one, I’d be drowning in pictures
im getting my new file folders for my paper work that i need to sort in topics, then my papers are done. it was 3 drawers down to 1/2 drawer, it was 3yrs of papers 🤦🏻♀️. so glad its over for the year.! (sigh) 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻🙏🏻💗🤗 good job on what you got accomplished today. im not sure that shade of pink is good with your skin tone, but florescent light makes things weird. so try it on in daylight, take a picture in front of the mirror and see if you like it.
Congratulations!! 🎉🎊 I can imagine how good it feels to be at the end of the paper sort, Lisa ann!! 💃 You are right about me and pink. This one is a tad better with the orchid type shading but still not my best color! Thanks so much for your friendship!! I appreciate you! 🌼☀️🌼
Yeah...looking good 😁😚 you are doing amazing!!! The pink top, i dont no.... maybe you can wair it in your next video, than we can look if its looking good 😛😛😛😗😗😚😚
Hi Karen, I really like how you are going through photos. That’s what I’m going to doing shortly, and you have given me some great ideas. Also, love the sweater you have on! Love watching your videos. Great motivation!
Thank you and thank you!! My husband and daughters picked out the sweater for me for Christmas! I appreciate you being here! Have a great weekend!! ☀️🌸☀️
I was so looking forward to this! You seem to have made such progress today. It occurred to me while watching that when we go to the garage I share my thoughts and process with Keith like you do us. No idea why because he doesn't care but sometimes he will surprise me and know where I put something the week before! Last weekend we were in Southport to bring Abi home after 2 weeks in her happy place. There were three consecutive named storms and the last one was straight off the Atlantic via Northern Ireland. It was a wild ride home until we got well away from the coast ! Still too cold for garage sorting but I have made progress with haberdashery sorting and zip bagging after watching a crafter's organisation video last week as I need my dining table empty for a birthday family meal tomorrow. See you next week. Sorry you can't share my 🎂and🍾 .
Look at you go!!! That was awesome sorting/decluttering today. It must be such a satisfying feeling for every cardboard box you get rid of!! Clear plastic bins are a game changer, aren’t they? I would love to see you declutter everything with us! It makes it real and we can cheer you on as you go! Lovely video as always Karen! 💕💕

Keep the LEGO´s for your grandson. They are way to expensive to get rid of them. I have all the LEGO´s from my kids in the basement - all I need are grandkids. *lol 😂
Yay Karen!! So much progress!! Your nails always look so pretty! Louis is still getting better but he is well!! Did you hear that Ukraine and Russia are now at war. I have been praying for them!! Photos photos and more photos!! There never ending!! I am currently working on getting my house back in order but at a later date when the time for me is right I will be continuing decluttering!! Have a great weekend Karen!!
HI Lisa!! So glad to hear Louis is still progressing toward health! I am praying over Russia and Ukraine too! Praying for you as you take care of Louis and try to get the house back to how you want it! Enjoy your weekend, dear friend!! 🌷🌷☀️
Great job today! We were at a library program yesterday, so you kept me company doing the laundry as usual as I watched today. I don't think the blouse looks like the usual colors you wear, so maybe it could go on to a new closet.
I agree with the critter habitat. I keep the garage bare to the walls and have sealed bins only on steel shelves. I have to do regular sweep downs and outs for prevention purposes. We did banking and post office this morning. Now taking a break in a sunny window, while the wash is running. I am beginning to give away and sell some of my furniture for a move. Scary! For the Lego kits, perhaps your neighborhood give away page, perhaps Nextdoor?
How far away are you moving from where you rare now? So exciting...and scary! Saying a prayer for a smooth move!! Thank you for the neighborhood page story! Have a great weekend, Jeanne! 🌷🌷💗
@@ThisMainerMom We are exploring putting the house on the market, Will be moving approx. 2,000 miles, so moving cost is a big consideration. So just family treasures will make the trip.
Hi, Karen! You are doing such a great job! You are really inspiring and motivating me! In May, once the air conditioners are out of our storage closet (also my decor closet!) I am going to do a serious overhaul of my decor. I did this about 2-3 years ago and it's time to do it again!! Now, I can't wait to get in there
Hi Barbara!! I am so glad you are feeling inspired!! The struggle is always in the starting and then momentum just builds!! Thanks for being here!! Your enthusiasm is contagious!! 💐♥️
I love your decluttering videos! When you were going through your photos you put aside negatives. What is your plan for your negatives? I'm not sure if I want to just throw them away or keep them so I was wondering what you were doing?
Instead of unpacking and moving boxes, label the box with your kid’s name, tell them you have a present for them in the basement, then they can make it go away or consolidate on their own. They would benefit from performing the process. Apply a time limit for this to be done or you will dispose of it. Time saved!
I tried the pictures…mine want everything! As a joke I sent a picture of a box of rocks that were his…..NOT MY SPECIAL ROCKS! I should have just put them out in the garden!
Esther, that is too funny about the rocks! Off topic but that reminds me of a birthday party for my son who was around 10 at the time. I warned him to be sure to show appreciation to each person. Well, little did I know the first gift was a joke gift of coal. He opened is and yelled enthusiastically, "Coal?! I LOVE COAL!!!!" 😂🙄 After that probably no one believe he like their gifts!! 😆
to anybody watching, if as you begin the boxes are blocking their content you can tag them quickly with a fat sharpy so you don"t have to keep opening the same box over and over
I heard if the legos are a set that builds a specific item like a star wars space ship or 3 cars or something, to post it on FB marketplace with photos of the completed project. This way people know none of the pieces are missing and are more likely to take a defined use of legos than a jumbled bag of them
My kids didn’t want anything when they got older.I had kept so much and moved it all 14 times for them not to want it. Good grief. I should never have boxed so much.

Invite all the kids for a dinner and decluttering party. Good work, re organizing and decluttering.
Great idea! Do this before you buy more containers. They may declutter enough that you don't need as large or as many containers.
Love that, Michelle! Thanks for sharing!! 🌷🌷Have a great weekend, dear friend!! 💝
The thought of not needing more thrills me!! 😍 Thanks for spending time with me today, Debbie!! ☀️🌼
Love that you communicate with the kids regarding their stored items ❤️
Thanks, Ann! I do try!! Thanks for being here! 💐
