Haven't found it yet but found all sorts of youth group/Sunday school stuff that needs sorted. I don't take either of them now. But I put it back in the cupboard and decided to leave it till another day, oh dear. Now I feel guilty.<br />By the way, in Japan shop assistants bow as they leave the shop floor for any reason, they are thanking the store with providing them with employment and income. I think this is a cultural thing and perhaps related to one of their religions.<br /><br />Dianadoodles n daydreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13489851609110132969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539053308616126531.post-3969803782681332972016-02-17T14:56:47.543-08:002016-02-17T14:56:47.543-08:00I started with one room and was supposed to do a r...I started with one room and was supposed to do a room every weekend.

Thanks for the inspiration!!<br /><br />God bless.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539053308616126531.post-39220173639719914782016-02-17T03:58:13.847-08:002016-02-17T03:58:13.847-08:00This is an interesting post.

I'm not sure I can subscribe to her method of declutter and disposal. However, if it helps to remove things from the house that are no longer needed...well, that's a good thing. <br /><br />My daughter (45) is always trying to leave things at our home. She moves a lot and stores some things while in transition that never seem to make it back to her. The other day there was a box of spray paint in the garage. I told her to take it or it was going into the trash. She replied that I won't throw it away. Come trash day out it went. Boy that felt REAL good!!<br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539053308616126531.post-51031895659506741932016-02-17T03:57:47.293-08:002016-02-17T03:57:47.293-08:00What counts, Maria, is that you decluttered even i...What counts, Maria, is that you decluttered even if you didn't do it according to Marie.
