I am in LOVE! This is just the coolest pic... and it's free... and it's cute... and it's BIG.
Throughout my dee-cluttering, I have been asking myself and teaching my family (especially hoarder hubby) to ask these same questions.
Do I love it?
Do I need it?
Is it useful or beautiful?
Would I buy it if it were in a store in front of me?
Would I keep it if it didn;t come with emotional strings?
Can I buy it again if I find I really did need it?
Now I can print a pretty picture and stick it on the wall and simply point to it instead of doing my cracked record routine. (my kids sooooo don't get that image so I have to say scratched CD routine - somehow it just doesn't sound as poetic).
Is this kind of love normal or natural? who cares!

Hi DEE
thanks so much for posting this ...I am slowly trying to declutter my craft stuff amongst other things so this is really useful...
:) keep up the good work your site is great and I have managed to honour a few things that had been put away..i.e to be framed and passed on stuff as well.....
Ta Chris
This is such a great picture/message. The 'free from guilt' one answers a lot of clutter questions for me, but it's still hard. Items I have just been given for Christmas, I have to keep hold of them for a little while, right? If I can find out quietly where they came from I return and exchange for something I like or need or are consumable, but if it came from a shop out of town I feel bad taking it to the op shop so soon. On a good note, if you haven't already read it, see if your library has it - A Spring Affair by Milly Johnson. It's chicklit with the theme being decluttering. And a good story too!
I should know. I hoard things, from pretty food labels to fabrics to books. It's always "I'll be able to use it one day".
