I'm no hoarder


recently, i tackled the shed. i spent about 5 straight hours in there going through my boxes. i had to force myself to go put gloves and socks on(it was freezing out there). i had to force myself to go eat lunch. i love organizing and going through things. i went through each box and pulled out the items to give away, items for throw away, items to keep boxed up for the future, and items i want to take to switzerland. for each box staying in the shed i wrote down on a list everything that is in that box. i did this so if while living in switzerland i need something, or just in the future want to know where something is...i can look at my list and know exactly what number box it is in instead of going through each and every box. i was able to eliminate 4 boxes. it was great. i was knee deep, even more so than in this photo. (the boxes on the white shelves aren't mine.) it felt so nice to get rid of clothes/old art projects/shoes/random papers/etc/etc/etc i didn't need and refresh myself as to what i have.

a past elimination. here.

what a good feeling to get rid of all of that.

you wouldn't give away anything of worth with out consulting me first though right?
