    I heard about a book called " Clutter's Last Stand" and knew I needed to read it so I got it from the library.

    Well- that was about 2 weeks ago and I just found it
    YESTERDAY under a pile LOL LOL :D

    But I'm still determined to have that minimalistic life !!!

    I am so glad that I am not alone with my mess and piles of things that I am going to finish someday or start that some day if anyone needs help it is me but just do not know where to start all I seem to do is move from one spot to the next Wish I could hire someone it just it fixed for me but it would last for long and then would be back in some mess

    It's an excellent book!

    The author makes decluttering seem like a virtue!

    (He also makes it sound like living in a mess is stressful, expensive, and inefficient)

    Every now & then some space opens up in my sewing room. For a time, I am thrilled to have a clear spot. Then I go shopping or someone moves & I take her scraps. Oh well. It can be freeing to have open space but where woulg all the scrap quilts come from?
