Clean Sweeping...

In the Valenta household we are still slowly, but surely, paring down the things that we no longer need or love. While we haven't made quite as many trips to Goodwill as we did several weeks ago we are still finding things that we can let go of. We've made good strides in our decluttering process and it feels so good!

Okay, here's the proof that I promised that even Tim got in on the clean sweep...

Yup, even HE decided to clean out the middle section of his dresser. What an amazing day this was as he rarely ventures into that black hole! But it is no longer a black hole but rather a greatly pared down, nicely organized space with only a fraction of what he had in there! YAY Tim! :)
And oh the treasures he found.....





I am pretty sure I am that someday I am going to be able to black mail him with this picture! :) (maybe today?)
*For the record, he kept his bronzed baby shoe but parted with the boy's old Scout neckerchief, the no longer used phone, the very outdated headphones and the wig. WHEW! Thank goodness. :)

I am adding this comment that was emailed to me from our dear friend,Joan, when she read my blog post. Tim and I have known her for more years than we have been married and she still loves us...wig and all.:)

Oh my gosh, you made me laugh. I can't believe the sense of humor you two find in all that you do, in all that confronts you and all that would normally upset someone else...keep it up, it has served you well. Love to you both, wig and all. Joan

I think I have an old phone, wig, headphones and scout scarf that needs pitching myself! Please come help me purge. Alas, Tim has no bronzed baby shoe........
