OK, now I realize, these days you can't use the word 'junk' because it has so many interesting connotations. As in 'junk in the trunk' and 'that guy hit him in the junk'...
For all practical purposes here, junk is clutter.
We are getting our house ready to sell. This is huge for me, because I am a struggling paper-aholic. I am the collector of everyone's school work, on top of an out of control magazine habit. Then there's all the craft stuff from being in Primary for so long, Activity Day Girls leader and just being the mom of a small tribe.
So we are attacking one room at the time,trying to trash and Goodwill more than we box up to store. So far it is working well. Last night the hubby decided we would tackle our bedroom.
The bedroom is our oasis, or refuge. Everyone wants to hang out in our bedroom. So everything is in our bedroom. All the papers, magazines, crafts etc. Do you know that all the above are major dust collectors? Duh. There were enough dust bunnies to make a ward. Anyway,I am learning the difference between keep and toss. Not every item Sonny Boy has ever written needs to be saved for time and all eternity.
So room by room we are eating the elephant. After we de-clutter, it's on to painting. So why wouldn't someone want to buy my house with my pink bedroom walls???

Hi, I'm a member of the Dust Bunny Ward..LOL! Mah, you are a trooper to tackle the job of decluttering. It sounds like a job for mini Cinderellas aka Activity Day girls. ;) Pink room will be shagadellic groovy...folks will be outbidding each other for that feature.
Oh, pay if forward is putting a list of names (repsonder to the post) in a hat. Pull a name and send that person a small care package. I finally won after 5 or 6 tries!! I'll be entering your name! I hope you like skinny Japanese soaps..;)
LOL! I love that you clarified "junk". We wouldn't want any misunderstandings. :)
