DAY 17: Toxic Clutter

Do you know that even a persons clutter can be toxic???



If you have items in your home that bring about bad memories or feelings it is time to get rid of it!



When the word item is mentioned it could mean anything~an article of clothing, a vase, a knick knack, a blanket, a piece of jewelry...you name it!



I know that we had this vase in our home that was from DH fathers funeral. Now his father was a big time hunter and when it came time to give out the flowers from the funeral we were presented with this vase (shaped like a deer) with dried flowers in it. By no means did this go with our decor~heck this would be perfect for Laura Ingals Wilder..you the know the Cabin in the Wood decor.

Anywho~the memories that were attached to that flower vase thing always reminded me of how horrible his family (sisters mainly) treated us while we were there.

Would you believe that my daughters were the ones wanting to get rid of it! It even evoked bad feelings for them!



Maybe you received a stuffed animal for Valentines Day~then the jerk dumped you! Heck you don't need the silly toy not another day! Get rid of it!



Take a few minutes to share your Toxic Clutter story with the group~

Thanks for the info. I had never thought of it like that. That brings a whole new dimension to decluttering. You just gave me the go ahead to get rid of more things.
