Declutter With Me on Monday Tuesday | Week 7

Wow. I have to admit to you I am having some serious backsliding as of late. Not only is my decluttering suffering, but I find myself very tempted to buy unnecessary things. I wonder if there is a support group for this? I will be striving to focus on family/home time during Lent this year. I hope this will help curb my desire to purchase some a lot.

Now back to decluttering!

This week was fairly easy as well. I tried to enjoy the small amount of decluttering because I think next week has me in the storage space in the basement. Yikes. I will absolutely be enlisting the help of my hubby for that.

When I read that the bulk of this week's tasks were clearing a desk, I was excited. I thought I was totally off the hook for decluttering. Here is my desk and printer before:


And after putting some clothes in their right place and packaging up something that needs to be mailed, here is my desk and printer after:


In my dreamy fantasy world, that is all I would have needed to do this week. But wait! There is this other desk... in our master closet. Much to my hubby's dismay, it is pretty much my office. I bet he just loves getting dressed in there! Here is my space before:


I have to admit that I pretty much enjoy organizing this space. Crafting makes me happy. Organizing my crafting things makes me happy too. Here is my happy little space after:



So, with the exception of organizing your bulletin board {which I do not have,} that is it for this week! Hope you are all hanging in there with the decluttering.
