December 28, 2019 DECLUTTER III and REGIFTING

Christmas 2019......... IT's A WRAP.
While the Christmas Season is not officially over, I've been wrapping up 2019 with some official business. 
Who is ready to take the 2020 clutter-buster challenge?
Year number 3, here we comeπŸ˜€.
Read about the year 2018→→ Declutter II
Read about the year 2017→→ Use it, Love it, or Get rid of it.
My 2019 chart clearly indicates fewer items than 2018, but 1125 items have vanished!
That's right, one thousand one hundred twenty five items.
How can people have this much crap and not know it? or have the time to use it?
Yes, we have lived in Casa de Sharpey  for 46 years.
No, we are not quite ready to move to another place.
Yes, we continue to hold on to many sentimental, emotional objects.
IT IS HARD TO LET THESE THINGS GO! 😭😭😭
Rachel Jones, founder of Nourishing Minimalism , includes the 2020 chart on her link.
Print it out.
The challenge is to declutter 2020 items in 2020!
She writes a blog, is on instagram, Pinterest, and offers on-line courses.
The Joyful Space Specialist is admired by many.
Most difficult items (for me) to let go?
THIS ↓↓↓...... how embarrassing is this πŸ˜•πŸ˜•πŸ˜•
Jammed in a cabinet for 3-4 years,
obviously never used,
obviously not cleaned/polished,
I began separating the "real" silver from the silver plate, silver on copper, etc. Next, I made a 'pile' of keepers, and a 'pile' of donate/regift.  Containers, trays, bowls, maybe someone can use what I no longer need.
Many items were wedding presents 50 years ago 😍, or were handed-down family jewels.
Fast forward a few weeks, a lot of elbow grease, some ribbon = ready for REGIFTING😍
Etiquette of re-gifting ⟶DO IT RIGHT OR DON'T DO IT AT ALL.
Financial guru, Dave Ramsey, gives some advice: 10 Regifting Rules

Letting go of Longaberger baskets...... was tough πŸ˜–
Anyone interested in framed P.Buckley Moss prints? (I've got a deal for you!)
 Declutter, donate, regift, live simply.
Lose the clutter, lose the weight.
