My mom has been doing the photo declutter and almost every day I get a fun memory sent from her!

I didnā€™t take pictures but we have a table in the basement that is intended for puzzles and whatnot but also winds up being, like, the Buy Nothing staging area. It collects things.

I took the Buy Nothing rejects to the thrift store, found a less useful surface (a dresser awaiting painting) for some of the other stuff and made enough space that I could start my Lego set! Functionality restored! (Now if I could just figure out how to raise the temperature down there about 61 degreesā€¦)

I must know. How many dresses did you end up keeping?

20 dresses currently fit me and now live together in my primary closet. There are an additional ~30 dresses in my secondary closet I couldnā€™t part with (yet).

I like those numbers.

I had a large framed poster that I no longer had a spot for, I wasnā€™t sure if anyone would like it but shared a picture on in a local group. Someone snapped it up right away and did a porch pick up the next day!

Edit cause I forgot to say they shared a picture of them with the poster later and a huge grin! Iā€™m so happy they love it as much as I did when I got it originally.

After getting a new shampoo system that my hair likes, I cleared out all items ( masks, conditioner, leave-in conditioners, hair gel and spray left from visiting family members) from the bathroom and they are now gone to someone elseā€™s home. I have extra space!
