I also get inspiration from TV, especially watching hoarders. It can get really graphic so I usually watch just a little then I get right up and start tackling some clutter project that's been sitting around for ages.<br /><br />I started a new blog recently and am doing a 10 Days of De-clutter (including digital clutter)! check it out: www.beautycalm.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-52106205108588047742012-04-10T10:57:19.362-07:002012-04-10T10:57:19.362-07:00Thanks to all of you who expressed interest in win...Thanks to all of you who expressed interest in winning my book; I hope you find it helpful and enjoyable!

I adore your blog and have adopted so many of your recommendations. <br /><br />I do have a request if you don't mind, as you are quite an experienced traveller. I am travelling to London later in the year and am an little anxious about the lengthly flight. I would love any advice you could offer on carry-on essentials and long flight tips. I imagine that you have mastered the art of travelling elegantly. <br /><br />Thank you so much in advance. <br /><br />MichelleMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16357613875327962499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-78748104918373289532012-04-08T18:37:54.279-07:002012-04-08T18:37:54.279-07:00Hi Jennifer,

We were/are empty-nesters who are still actively involved with life in every way, but clearing away the detritus of the past has been immensely liberating. In a paradoxical way it has cleared our lives to make a place for new things that are a part of this new phase of living.<br />JanetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-74918476701040244322012-04-06T20:25:03.206-07:002012-04-06T20:25:03.206-07:00I would love to win a copy of the book!

My family and I are six people living in a tiny two bedroom, one bathroom bungalow ranch. It actually has decent storage space for this size of house plus a basement, but it's just too many people stuffed in a box. I keep our stuff quite pared down, but so much so, there isn't much of a decorative flair. I would love to give a cottage style to it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-79392915054112476032012-04-05T19:06:38.445-07:002012-04-05T19:06:38.445-07:00This is such a timely post!
