Decluttering 2013, the saga continues ...

Made a start on my craft / book room last night, decluttered:

3 magazines
2 books
Map
Notebook
Bag

Some of the magazine pile has now shifted to the craft room, in nice magazine folders. Not sure if this is just moving round the hoard but I will re-assess at some point. Also got the problem that I still have a bit pile of magazines and all folders are full. I'll try and clear out one of the folders, as I've not used any of the mags in it since I put them there in February.

Making a resolution not to subscribe to any more magazines and instead work my way through the ones I've already got.

Also moved a shelf on one of the bookshelves so I can move a pile of books from the floor to the shelves. I can then assess if I need to get rid of any more books. I did thin down my books quite a lot earlier in the year and I don't really want to part with too many more but I'll see how I feel. It's painful some of this de-cluttering isn't it?

Took all of the stuff I've gathered to the CS.
Spent the afternoon rearranging my study space at home. Made a really lovely pin-board using a lovely frame I've had for a while.

In addition to motivating me to get some stuff out of the house, this task is really helping me think about what I'm bringing in - I've bought so much less since I started - even bargains (which are my downfall!!). :T
