Everyone is doing so well! I have officially finished decluttering the basement until next year. I am so so happy! I have gone through all the things that could be passed on or shredded now. There are a few boxes with mementos that I will go through another time.
I was going to do the wrapping area on the 25th for Rudolph Day but figured I would tackle it now. I am so glad I did. Over the years, there were things that I thought the family used up and didn't tell me about so I bought more of those items. Well, they really fell down down behind the boxes.
So, I now have 20 shrink bags for gift baskets, 6 bags of gift bows, a box filled to the brim with every color of tissue paper, 2 rolls of Santa wrapping and 20 new small gift bags.
I do
not need to buy a single Christmas gift wrapping item.
Now I'll just have to organize the donation boxes because I literally was tossing stuff into the boxes. Weather permitting, I'd like to get these boxes out of the basement next week.
