How was your Thanksgiving? I hope it was m-a-r-v-e-l-o-u-s! Ours was.
When I was a little girl I loved going to the post office and getting the piles of Christmas cards that were in the box at the post office. My mother sent out about 100 cards in which she put a hand written note in each and every one!
Today with the price of stamps and other factors it seems fewer cards are being sent out and in our home received. Here are 5 Christmas card tips:
•Take your Christmas journal and make your list. By having all of the names and addresses in one place helps with clutter control.
•Clear clutter
•You can buy stamps on line through USPS.com and even print postage.
•Ask for help from your family to stamp the envelopes and print out labels on the computer to save you time and stress.
•Mail your cards so they will arrive before Christmas.I still love getting cards and I tape them around the doorway just like when I was a child. I bought a card holder and I made the cutest one ever but I still tape them up. (To clear clutter I gave the card holders away to someone who would use them).
We’ll talk about two other ways to send cards later this week.

Company is coming! I have been moving furniture, dusting, vacuuming and clearing clutter like mad. I love having company because it really gets me going on
The first picture is of the things she took out of her closet like magazines, empty boxes and stuff she never used. Things were piled on top of each other and it was hard to get to what she really wanted. She also didn’t know what she had.
The second photo is what she paired everything down to—a few pages for reference that she will put into a notebook. All of the rest of the things (Except for the books in back that she moved to another area) she got rid of. By reducing clutter she:
Today is the beginning of Thanksgiving week. I am thankful for you, my blog readers who inspire me with your comments on my blogs and email.
Today is Fun Finds Friday and I have been worrying about it. That is to say I have been concerned, thoughtful, and maybe fretful. My mom was a worry wart. She worried when my older brother didn’t get home from a date when he said he would and she worried about a ton of other things; in fact we bought her a worry stone because she worried so much. I swore I would never worry—Ha famous last words.
I used to tell my kids “Please stop talking, I can’t hear myself think”. Have you ever felt that way? The other day Edna and I were talking about clearing clutter and she said something very profound.
As you know we got a new freezer which meant I had to move some drawers that are stacked together in the garage. These have earned the name junk drawers. I have been itching go get my fingers in them so I could get rid of the clutter I just knew was living there.
You see, these are drawers my husband mainly uses so they were a mess. I don’t know if you can tell it from the pictures but I did get rid of clutter (a bag full) with more stuff now living other places. I put containers in every drawer and I put all likes together. Now with the clutter gone we can find things fast without opening every drawer and rummaging around to find what we need. I also labeled the front of each drawer.
I was on KLBG radio show with Ann Negendank of Sensible Space today. We talked about my new book which will be in stores this December. The title is: Go Organize! Conquer Clutter in 3 Simple Steps. Here are some of the smokin’ highlights:
