I've never really been a fan of almonds, but I do enjoy them eaten along with cranberries.<br />Still decluttering here! I've sold some more items online and another bag went to the charity shop earier in the week.

I still have a long way to go before I can consider myself fully decluttered (I've barely touched the crafts supplies!), but, I'm getting there. I will be doing the 1 item a day challenge in October, too. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-47868256895007856842021-09-22T11:34:20.989-07:002021-09-22T11:34:20.989-07:00It's nice to see it all stacked up like that. ...It's nice to see it all stacked up like that. <br />I am finding the more I declutter the more I declutter. lol. <br />Are you finding it easier to let go of things the longer you do it?56stepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714155300369089630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-7523542179532392852021-09-20T21:47:50.448-07:002021-09-20T21:47:50.448-07:00You are right; no harm in keeping what we enjoy ha...You are right; no harm in keeping what we enjoy having.

I am also thinking that they might make a nice little appetizer, if filled with something savory - some finely chopped curried chicken, perhaps, or some cheese. Might try that, next.<br /><br />Thank you for the encouragement on the decluttering. Yes, I am digging a little deeper, this time around. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-26227340435424917222021-09-20T17:53:28.460-07:002021-09-20T17:53:28.460-07:00Honestly, if your stuff is oppressing you, or you ...Honestly, if your stuff is oppressing you, or you don't have room for it, of course a clearout is a good thing, but I see no reason to force ourselves to get rid of things we love, that are special, just for the sake of it.

Your decluttering seems to have reached a new level this year and you are doing so well and inspiring us all. I am also finding more items to declutter and I was pleased that DS decided he didn't want a couple of items that he had left here. They will be donated.

A lot of what I have left are parts of collections and/or have some sentimental value to me. I need to separate myself and my emotions from my stuff, which is hard for me to do.<br /><br />Well done on the filing and clearing some space on your desk!

But, then, I look around and still see enough for another 10 boxes remaining, and it is as if nothing left the house!<br /><br />But, I did have fun with my daughter and we have another fun project planned for maybe next weekend. :)<br /><br />Sorry to hear about the fire at a school where you used to teach, but, so glad that nobody was hurt! Still, some damage to the buildings, I assume. I like the sound of that planning for the next part of the garden makeover! You've already done so much and your garden is looking so nice! Looking forward to seeing what else you plan to do. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-70236015502399605542021-09-20T14:55:11.406-07:002021-09-20T14:55:11.406-07:00Thank you, Anne.

And from your point of view, it will be a lovely, lightening feeling when all the stuff leaves the house. A good clearout always seems to free up bandwidth in the mind, as well. I find anyway. I have just done a load of filing and am enjoying the space on the desk, and a fresh to-to list starting tomorrow!Lady Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050899813793376037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-49074242289598635222021-09-20T11:00:09.517-07:002021-09-20T11:00:09.517-07:00It sounds like you had fun with your daughter.
