| Ready to DeClutter Your Home "For Good?" |
Yes, the double meaning is intentional ... For a Good Cause and FOREVER!
The initial start-up of the business will require a collective effort to amass many unused items from our homes. We'll be recycling, repurposing, reusing, donating and recreating things that are not only going to waste, but are actually adding to the clutter and chaos of our everyday lives.
By decluttering with a purpose (to benefit others and the environment), you and your family will truly benefit as well. I just love it!
Okay, there will be plenty of time down the road to consider all the warm feelings and positive energy your involvement will generate...
For now, let's focus on the practical matter of the decluttered items that will begin the transformation of this idea into a reality! Check out the list of items I'm interested in and plan some family spring cleaning time!
Also, as you start spring cleaning and decluttering, set aside special mementos and odds-and-ends with meaning for your family. I'll share a project to get those treasures out of the storage boxes and drawers and displayed in a special way.
It is sure to be

Hold it Right There!
Before you pack up the car and head to my house... Hang onto your soon-to-be-repurposed clutter for now. I'm working toward securing my location. Once I do, I'll share the drop-off plan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm working toward an online, comprehensive "DeClutter For Good" list as well as a "Recycle for Good" list (more on that another time!). For now, when in doubt about any item I may or may not be able to use, just set it aside or shoot me an email to run it by me. Chances are I have some creative idea or donation plan to turn your unused clutter into someone's "treasure."
