Mountain control, come in. Our dear Hannelore is is desperate need. Please bring the plow.

My name is Dotsie and I am a tosser, especially since cleaning out Mom and Dad's house when they moved. Seeing what Mom collected through the years, scared me. I couldn't go down that path.

Someone, and I'm sorry I can't recall who it was, suggested in the New Year resolution post that she was doing a drawer, closet, cabinet one at a time. I adopted that routine and got my kitchen finished by doing only one little thing a day, It feels so good to have everything in it's place.

Meredith, thanks for posting this. Now I need to move to our bedroom!

Watch out, chatty's getting high speed. You're gonna love it girl.

Hi Dotsie,
I believe that was me posting about my resolution to clean one cabinet and closet etc. per day.
Too bad I didn't stick to my own plan....
It's never too late to get started though right? Right????
Someone please help me get started!
Hannalore, I'll help you, if you'll help me.
Or maybe we can both get Meredith to come help us.

Go Hi-Speed Chatty!

LOL! Hi-speed Chatty! I love it. Chats you got yourself a new moniker.

I have made the move girls.

Hello, my name is Queen Jaw Jaw and I am a half-as_ tosser.

What?

At least I started. My kitchen table is a catchall. Is anyone else's? I put all my mail, papers, purse, bags of books, etc., on that table. Now it is a huge table. It was built in the early 1800's by my ggrandfather. It is 90" round with a pedestal in the center. Just giving you a visual of how much "stuff" it holds.

I have a quilt over it as a tablecloth because the sucker is so large I can never find a tablecloth to fit it. ANYHOOOOO....This is where I put it all.

I cleaned it off. Sort of. You can see the quilt now.

I alsooooooooooo...(I'm feeling puffed up about moi) started putting my files in folders and have them laid out in the floor of my office. I'm filling them up a little each day and labeling them so that I can hopefully get them in the file cabinets. I HATE FILING. So this is a big step for me.

Anybody else got any Confessions of Clutter?

Confessions of Clutter: What's on your Kitchen table?

Let's start there.

3 boxes of Sculpy clay, several babies in the making, mini fairies, 1 hanging male fairy (anatomically correct) and headless (can't leave him hanging he needs to be baked soon).

This is my release hobby. I work my troubles and cares away. 1 unfinished yawning, bored fae.

Well here's a picture.

These are still in the making...needs leg, bum work. It's my 'twitterbug and flutterby' series. My nicknames for my girls when they were small.

They are very tiny pieces. A long way from finished but wanted to give you an idea how small they are

bread crumbs...

Chick, your kitchen table is much more interesting than mine.
Maybe you should model little elves...you know like the fairy tale in the Elves and the Shoemaker.
Sprinkle a little magic dust over them, and they'll clean the whole house while you are sleeping. sigh.

I'll buy a dozen.
