I agree with deema. If you just start little and work your way in. Keep your eye on the big picture. I too would like to help but I'm in Nebraska and you're in Texas. We're all pulling for you, keep the faith and keep on sorting!

At least you have the space to pull it all out ; I have a small corner in the living room for sewing and computer. And the excess has to go down the basement . I have faith that you will get through this.

deema - you sound so organized. NP 3 has sent me a journal and told me how to list and ship,e tc. I already thought as I go thru to put sale items on a shelf and number them and take pictures, tehn I will be ready to sell, take one shelf/bag out at a time. Can't wait to post my after pictures but it may be in my afterlife. :)
I am going to hand quilt now and finisht eh quilt for my friend. After it and one more is done, it's no more work until I get that room clean. Thanks for looking everyone. Hope you don't have nightmares. LOL.

If you can't sell here I wouldn't put it away I'd hop on over to ebay and sell, sell, sell.

I would be afraid to walk into that room! :D :D :oops:

Set a timer and do it for however many minutes you think you can handle at one time each day. Even if it's only 5 minutes starting out. Increase the time a minute per day 'til you reach your max time per day you want to devote to cleaning and you'll be surprised the lift in spirit you'll get and how much you can accomplish.

Then!!!! When you are able to sell again, you have pictures taken, you can list starting with sale one - you'll have already done the sorting, measuring and picture taking, everything for that listing is in its own spot and you only have to take out that one box/bag/whatever for selling. :D

My brain won't do anything too new. Two brain surgeries and I can't do it. SO glad you understand Dreamer2009. Ebay???? OMG I would be so not organized. I will leave that to you. I am not selling to make money, really, I wanted to share on here and kill two birds with one stone. When I amke money, it goes right back to your sales. LOL. DId I tell you I love to spend money???? I am off to sew. Hope you all continue to enjoy this post at my embarassing expense. *H*U*G*S*
