Unbelievable. THIS is why I'm decluttering!
They got $13,000 for the garage sale, but think how much money she spent on that stuff. Again, wow...
Getting a clearer mind,

I Confess - I'm an Organizationaholic Wanna Be
All a magazine has to say on the cover is "Organize Your Life" and I'll plunk down the money in hopes of finding one organization tool that will help. Have you ever noticed just how many magazines have this on the cover? Most of them!
Life is so much simpler now that we are almost empty nesters, but still I long for ultimate organization...whatever that really means.
I've planned this grand Queen Mother of garage sales 3 times now and have canceled it every time. Why? It's a lot of work. Will I feel better after it's over? Yes (well, a week or two after it's over.)
I love the idea of some of my old treasures finding a new home. I think what I really love is the idea that I can start with a fresh slate and get new treasures! HA!
I'm really pretty organized for the most part. But, there are certain parts of my world that aren't. Why is it that when we get everything organized, our LIVES feel in order, too? I'm heading up to clean out Blue Heaven a little.
I'd LOVE to hear your organizational tips. I'll share some of mine later, too. Just think. We won't have to plunk down $5.95 for a magazine to tell us what to do!
Thinking orderly thoughts,
Lila

Since I've Been on an Organizing Kick
I have a technique I've used "successfully" for 27 years for folding a fitted sheet. I actually take the fitted sheet, wad it up, then flatten it down. Then to neaten it up a bit, I put it under the folded flat sheet so that no one can see. :)
I ran across this video. I haven't tried it but I sure will. Does anyone else have any success with folding a fitted sheet?
Willing to try,
Lila
