Cris - now would be the perfect time to master that magical Substitutiary Locomotion spell so that the objects can come to life and move themselves around with your magic!
This is from a meme I came across: “The TRUTH is, that all of the "STUFF" here on earth we work SO hard to buy and accumulate…does NOT mean a thing. At the end of the day...people will be cleaning out our "STUFF", going thru our "STUFF", figuring out what to do with all of our "STUFF"... this "STUFF" we've accumulated in our life. The only thing of VALUE that remains are the MEMORIES and what we deposit into others. May we all learn to spend less time accumulating "STUFF" and spend way more time making MEMORIES.
I’m in the decluttering process too. I think it also helps to think if someone else could get use out of the item rather than it setting in my home unused. And some of the best advice is the money on the item is already gone so if the only reason you’re holding onto something is because it was expensive let it go. Now it’s costing the space it’s taking up in your home. I always enjoy learning more about you. You can tell you’re a genuinely good person with a good soul.
I understand having to purge keepsakes. I am downsizing in preparation for retirement and moving to a much smaller home since my husband passed several years ago. I keep reminding myself that the memories will always be with me in my mind and heart, not in the physical items. My new rule- “don’t buy anything else- things are going out- no new things coming in”. I will send you a very touching meme I came across
The motto I’ve been following for the past 10 years is “When in doubt, throw it out”. It’s amazing how much I’ve donated and otherwise disposed of in that time and it feels so good. When we moved out of our big house where the kids grew up we rented two large storage units because we thought surely the kids would want all that good furniture. Nope! 3 years later at $300 a month they wanted nothing, so I donated it all.
You can cut out the pictures and store names on the bags and frame them with your favorite photos of the trip. Or make a scrapbook for that trip... Or... just use the bags to organize things in the tubs in groups.
Cris, as I am watching the decluttering video. I worked with girl scouts quite a bit. They always love donations like these for the kids to do crafts. Or even if you can go to any type of organization that's in need of things. I also like the senior citizen programs as well. But a lot of underprivileged neighborhoods in people who've been in disasters enjoy these kinds of things cuz it gets their minds off things that's going on at the moment. When I started my decluttering I closed my storage unit of 10 years and was going through things and said I haven't seen this in 10 years do I really need it so it was either trash donate. That's all I was giving myself.
Also YES to the beaded bracelets. My daughter LOVES doing bracelets for holidays and song titles. She’d love a Cris the Girl bracelet for sure. She gets loads of compliments on her bracelets and even sells them to kids at school.
😮 You gave me the incentive to start a declutter project👍 you have so many cool craft things especially the ones that you hand tied and put on little cards yourself , just my opinion , I would keep it and get either a little storage cabinet or one of those carts on wheels that they use in kitchens and one day when you do have time, you won’t have to re-buy everything and it’s very organized and ready for you to craft again 🧶🧵You’re not a hoarder, just keeping stuff you love until you have time to do it again😄p.s. for those things that are truly close to your heart get a scrapbook or folder for your cards. you told so many beautiful memories and stories. When as somebody just suggested you can donate the rest to veterans homes , nursing homes, or any of those charitable donations or for shelters . Good luck, it’s not easy to do especially when you have two separate households joined from two people who care about their memories and treasures🕊️How blessed that you are both caring people 👍
De-cluttering is much tougher than it seems. You're saying sayonara to things you invested time, effort and money into. Ultimately, you have to become ruthless or you wind up with a home that looks like an episode of Hoarders and that ain't good.
Hi, Cris! If you decide you don't want arts & crafts supplies, such as the beads, you could ask your local library if they would be interested in them. The library where I work has crafting programs for adults, teens, and children, and we often have patrons donating stuff to us.
Loved this video! Just a tip, you could always scan the cards, notes, important files, etc and put them on a hard drive. That way in an emergency you just take that instead of a huge box. It’s also easier to organize under file categories and to look through!
When you ready to give away your crossstitch supplies you may want to call a couple close by retirement homes. They could probably use it. Just a thought😊
Hello Cris I came across your RUclips by your boyfriend and my son was watching Crystal lake where he was watching your boyfriend then somehow you popped up in his video and I fell in love with your gentleness and kindness I've been through a lot these past few years and you remind me of just a gentle soul and you are so amazing you don't understand your kindness and kindness and watching you just have fun or just sharing your thoughts you don't understand how much that helps me your truly don't and I watched one of your videos about shopping and you started to cry and I cried cause I lost my parents to cancer and after that everything started to fall apart and the struggles became harder n harder Now I look forward to see you cooking or shopping or doing fun stuff please know that your are important and I'm grateful I came across your channel God bless you and your family thank you for Being YOU!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes yes I'd love a beaded bracelet from you, Cris the girl. I do the same with the bags yes keep them. I watch most of your videos on my tv and i forget to pause n thumbs up but I love your videos ❤
Hey Cris the Girl, great home video..It can be hard to decide a lot of times what you want to keep or get rid of in items you have had for so long..Enjoy the week..
I’ve lived in my house for 16 years. I’m embarrassed by the amount of stuff I’ve accumulated over this time. A donation pick up was scheduled for tomorrow but we are under snow emergency so I rescheduled it for next Monday.
A game changer for me was when I started throwing out birthday cards after reading and appreciating them. I’ve received the message, now can get rid of the physical. The only exception is cards from my parents, immediate family and husband. Those are kept. Now I wish I could do the same with clothes 😂 of course I would pick flat cards to be the most diligent about getting rid of, haha
You’ll be fine and great that you’re doing this not only for you but for Tampa jay and Bella 🐶🖤❤️ Yes you can get rid of the cards notes and so forth. You will have a clear space to lower your anxiety and give you peace which is more important. You’ll always have the memories 🙏
Hi Chris yes declutering is hard but necessary especially as you get older,if you haven't used it in a long time then its time to donate, at least thats what I do , and yes a Chris the girl bracelet is a good idea😊
I woke up and watched a decluttering video in bed and got up to clean my own home. It took all day. And now I’m watching your closet video before I go to bed. I’m glad I’m not the only one who hoards keepsakes. I’m trying to stop. For the Salem bags if you like the graphic you could always cut it out and frame it as art.
Wow! Good for you. Always tough to declutter and stay organized. I am just finishing up a 2 year declutter. A lot of hard choices. Biggest part was making sure as much stayed out of the landfill as possible. Finding the right homes or organizations that will find value was the hardest part. Been in my home for a long time. Biggest change was getting clear tubs and replacing the grey ones. Now I sort much easier and hard to forget what’s in those big grey tubs and put off organizing.
Hey love all the vids and all the things. All of it. Been watching for a while now. I have a suggestion about the organization for ya. Get plastic totes to put all the items that you are keeping. And Tampa jays stuff too. Put all the things in the totes. Then it put names on the totes so you know what belongs to each of you. It will also keep your items safe from moths and bugs, and all the things. Just a little suggestion from a OCD organizer. Lol. Love all the vids.
The bag with all the cards and souvenirs…I have the same bag full of cards and maps etc. family members have past away and I have all their cards for my bday/graduation/xmas so yeah can’t get rid of stuff like that ❤ most of the purging I do is clothing and my kids toys.
Morning Chris it's Monday morning 20th of January Just watched your video all cross stitch keep it you might want to use it again now you've started DCLUTTERING I think I'm going to start doing it now great jab with how far you have go so for always love watching your videos it's nice to see a young lady like you doing what she loves ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 to do and finding them bat's that you made was a great find your the queen of Halloween 🎃 your the best at what you do keep up the good work 😊😅😂❤❤❤❤
at Busch Gardens we would get coins from management for doing good deeds or whatever they thought deemed you worthy. but they were worth money in the park so I spent mine LOL, kinda wish I had 1 for funsies
Keeping cards and special notes, etc is not hoarding. Its saving memories. Maybe think about getting a nice cedar chest or something like that to keep all those special things to pull out and look at in the future. 😊 andvlook at
@@CristheGirl now would be the perfect time to master that magical Substitutiary Locomotion spell so that the objects can come to life and move themselves around with your magic!
Awesome video as always Cris, I would be so honored to wear a Cris the girl bracelet especially one that's made by queen halloween herself. It's always good to downsize and declutter, but as far as sentimental stuff, that's memories for you that are important so I don't blame you for keeping that. Love ya girl.
I moved recently and im unpacking boxes thatbnever gotbunpacked for tge last 4 years from my last move. So much stuff was mislabeled from the previous movers. It was all i. Acbasement. Now I have an office full of boxes that I need to organize. And out closet space here is limited so I have to think outside the the box to organize 😊
It’s hard to let go of stuff! I have build a bears and all clothes 😬but at the end u feel a lot lighter 👍we need a mansion 😂😂to display all the things 🥰🤗
Hello beautiful! I personally would love a "Chris the Girl" beaded bracelet. 🤗 I have both of my "Chris the Girl" decals on my car now!! ❤ I am a big "Cris the Girl" and "Tampa Jay" fan. Love you both. Hugs 🤗 and God bless 🙏
Gone back to the original blue tote vlog, and gotta say old cris is way better, down to earth and normal (in good way) compared to current cris, which is more trying to hard for YT IMO
11:40// just a suggestion. myop when ever a you tuber mentions one of their past videos. they usually put a link in the upper right for a viewer to go check out (salem). Happy Halloween, Chinese New Year, Post Christmas and Pre Ground Hog Day.. and of course Martin Luther King Jr day.

@@ilovemagic5623 awe yes! those 5 mystic words Treguna, Mekoides, Trecorum, Satis Dee!
You should write the date on the bags when you got them. Also, maybe you could make a collage with the bags, frame it, & hang it on the wall.
Brilliant idea ! Thank you for that !😊🎉
I agree that framing the bags is an excellent idea!
Or cut the images from the bags and make a scrap book. I’ve also seen people make quilts using old favorite tshirts

Cris, on the cross stitch stuff, you could donate them to a senior citizens home. They love getting stuff like that.

Decluttering is one of my favorite things! It’s so cathartic; I absolutely have to do it a couple of times a year. -Jess
I love how you keep the sentimental stuff I regret some of the stuff I've lost in the past or thrown away

No! Don’t get rid of the bags Cris. They can stay flat and plus designs change.
I am going to tackle my closets too this week. I need to go though my crafting stuff too😆.
Yes yes I'd love a beaded bracelet from you, Cris the girl.
I do the same with the bags yes keep them. I watch most of your videos on my tv and i forget to pause n thumbs up but I love your videos ❤
Hey Cris the Girl, great home video..It can be hard to decide a lot of times what you want to keep or get rid of in items you have had for so long..Enjoy the week..
I’ve been doing this too! BTW your makeup is on point today! So pretty!
I’ve lived in my house for 16 years. I’m embarrassed by the amount of stuff I’ve accumulated over this time. A donation pick up was scheduled for tomorrow but we are under snow emergency so I rescheduled it for next Monday.
I also keep all of my ephemera. One day it'll be organized into scrapbooks or binders. It's our personal history. ❤

Duffy just didn’t take off in the US. He (and his friends) are still really big in Asia (Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai) and at aulani.
Hi Cris yes to the bracelets :)

Biggest change was getting clear tubs and replacing the grey ones. Now I sort much easier and hard to forget what’s in those big grey tubs and put off organizing.
Get a fireproof storage container and transfer all of the items from the blue tub into it.
Omg just did my cross stitch declutter. I want to get back into it so bad.

Maybe you can put your favorite Salem bags in picture frames.

Would love a Cris the girl bracelet!

Doing this video probably kept you motivated to keep going. I get burned out when I declutter 😮
It's hard to de clutter you rock
I love this video ❤❤❤such a fun time watching you go through your stuff in the closet.
Does anyone know the color green shes using in her hair? It would go great in my dark hair i think.
Hey Cris have an amazing week and take care and thank you.🌞🐕🎶
What I noticed most in this video is this.....WE HOARD THE SAME STUFF!! Lol!!!
Haha oh no, my OCD has spread to you 😂 nah it feels so good to declutter stuff
Yes yes yes to the bracelets!!!! I would happily purchase a CTG made bracelet
I think that would be a good idea if you put all of those cards and papers in a scrapbook (i think thats how its called, sorry)
Where did you get your sweater?
Decluttering is always tough! I have a garage full.
You should do hobbie videos we would love it
First!!!
Woohoo!!🖤

Hi Cris!! Don't be embarrassed!! Lol!!
You should donate your craft stuff to people you know who do that kind of craft.
is it a scarcity mindset thing ? (no judgment, i'm just actually really interested in psychology, the "why" behind things) 🧡
You could always donate the beads to daycares or young kids
Absolutely LOVED this vlog.
