purged.

 i purged all week long...

clothing, grad school papers, books

and more... but not as much

as i originally planned to.

it's a lot harder to let go of things

than i thought. maybe i will have the

courage some day to do so...

i took the advice of "the happiness project"

and left an open shelf in the closet above.

it just feels so good to have organized,

recycled stuff, given things away...

i am sure i will continue with this

process and know that i will think

twice before i buy, save or take objects

in the future.

all of my books fit into one bookshelf

in our library red room

and all of my handmade books,

supplies and old art work fit into this cubby.

i also cleaned out my closet and rid myself

of clothing i don't wear anymore...

plus - tonight, i cleaned out my backyard

studio to get ready for the upcoming studio sale!

it was hard, but so worth it...

more photos to come of the purged sites:)
