Good for you!! Sometimes we all need a hand. Don't be afraid to let some stuff go, you will be so happy with the end results. And so much more productive with the new organization. Good luck........Donna

You should be proud of yourself. I don't think I'm a hoarder, but I do have that tendency. My mother was pretty close to it and I chalked that up to living through the Great Depression. My aunt is absolutely a hoarder - and throw in too many cats.
Whenever that show is on it inspires me to get moving and tossing. I've gotten rid of 2 huge garbage bags of fabric and ended up with several empty bins. Now to reorganize and get it all back on the shelves!
Also proud that I got rid of a boat that was sitting in my driveway for two years and a second one will go away on Friday. I tossed out a sofa that was giving me a backache and hopefully will replace it in a week or two with something comfy. I threw out my coffee table because it was a clutter magnet.
Out also went the area rugs and runners that were magnets for loose bits of thread, fabric and dog hair. Replaced with vinyl planking that is a breeze to clean (and God bless my husband who used his last days of vacation to put it down!) And yesterday I purged under my bed and in the closet for way too many flipflops and Crock type shoes. OUT with you!

Well done! The first step is always the hardest. It takes wisdom and courage to contact the ladies. You must feel wonderful now. Imagine how you'll feel when everything is organized. You'll be a sewing machine!!!
