if you want to participate…

If you’d like to participate, I have created a handy little button. There aren’t really any rules… just pick for yourself a number of items to “get rid of” by Dec. 31, 2010. The goal is to declutter, which should help make your home look nicer and your life more organized. Other advantages: 1. You might find things you’d forgotten you had. 2.
