You know, little gifts, mementos, travel trinkets, bits of favourite but now broken jewellery, crafts, sweet gift cards, mothers/fathers day treasures, thank you gifts, book marks, cute key tags (you already have 6 but here's another one), tokens, ticket stubs (it was a fab concert, game etc) fund raiser bitsas, photos ...
In our declutter I have been wondering what to do with many of such items. They are clutter... but they are NICE clutter. A while ago teen1 came up with a clever solution... decorate the bedroom door with it. It sort of becomes a visual diary, a 3D work of art, an everdeveloping depiction of moments... and a neat way to get stuff out of boxes, drawers etc giving it a purpose.

It took me a while for the idea to grow on me, but now I like it a lot. I especally like that I get to see all those little treasures and most of the bits have a story. ...and I do like a good story. It gives me a little smile when I see it. Here are a couple of close-ups of my door.

Looks great - what happens when the door gets full?
Do we have to stop going places or just stop collecting bits?
LOL... one word... starts with "C" ... ends with "L". ;)
no we just get more doors or do what teen 1 does and cover our mirrors
