P365 Day 122 – tidying and sorting

Now that I have my new scrapooking space, I thought I should sort through the bags full of paper and half-finished layouts that I’ve been accumulating and get them in some sort of order. So I tipped them all out of the floor and sorted out the layouts in...

P365 – Day 116 have a day

I spent a lot of time today continuing my clearing out of the study/spare room/library and fixing up my new scrapbooking space. (Oh, did I mention I have a new scrapbooking space? Who’d have thought?) Slabs did some decluttering today too, and found something in one of his boxes...

P365 – Day 114 it’s not perfect, but it’s mine

(Today’s title brought to you by Tim Minchin) Today I did something I decided on Friday to do.  There’s something I’ve been complaining about ever since my scrapbooking hobby became bigger than the dining table and started to spread across two rooms. I don’t have a scrapbooking space.  I can use...

P365 – Day 92 – old photos

Part of Operation: Declutter involves taking all my old photos out of those evil self-adhesive albums and shoe boxes and putting them into some less damaging storage. It’s been quite a trip down memory lane reliving moments from my past. As I was going through the photos I was...

P365 – Day 51 – it’s been one of those days

One of those days when I wish I’d never got out of bed and can’t wait to be over. It probably didn’t help that I didn’t really get up. I did that thing where I stay in my PJs, laze around, do a few incidental things, have too many...

P365 – Day 29 the tale of the garage sale

I am on a mission to declutter my house. While I would dearly love to take a week off work and go through my house room by room ruthlessly eliminating anything I haven’t used/touched/worn/read in the last 12 months (or two years, or whatever the home organisation gurus say...

P365 Day 15 – the jungle (15/1/2011)

Our back yard has a fenced off section behind “Slabs’” home brew shed that is ‘mine’. I have my own tin shed, which is filled with gardening tools, seeds, magazines, sporting equipment and old furniture that we don’t have a home for any more. It’s a prime target for...

P365 Day 10 – the pile is still there (10/1/2011)

This is the pile of clothes and other miscellaneous clutter that remains untackled after the weekend. It’s the pile of stuff I was going to deal with on Saturday, but I went to the tweetup instead. It’s the same pile that sat there all day Sunday while I wasted...
