Hoarders ❤️ Extreme DeClutter the Hoarded Basement Part 13 | Get Organized 2022

[@ruthg7524]

You giving yourself grace to keep sentimental items you are not ready to give up because you could regress really touched my heart. We all need to be kind to ourselves in this decluttering process. I am very much a minimalist but when it came to my son's toys, I never gave anything away until I truly felt that he had outgrown that period of his life, not just the toy itself.

[@catharinabra]

Ms Pepper is such a good decluttering partner to you! She’s always there celebrating the newly opened space! 😻

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so so much!!! She truly is such a blessing to us and brought so much love to our family 🐱❤️

[@cynthiaschaal6379]

Maybe you can display your cat sculpture in Pepper’s corner! That way you can enjoy it and it works with the theme!

[@alanbirkner1958]

November 2023. My bins are plastic shoeboxes. One for silk flowers, one for yarn, one for ribbons, etc. I give things away, recycle, and toss every day. Tina, Al's wife.

[@joyindrelie6715]

Can't wait to see the Christmas Kon Marie! That'll be fun!

[@ahoardersheart]

Lol!! Yes that one will be fun going through all those Christmas decorations ❤️❤️❤️

[@lindakleiner5734]

Congratulations on being a Speaker for the Get Organised HQ boot camp 👏 You deserve this acknowledgment, you are so strong.

[@Peanut1965]

The change table you have, if your not ready to part with it yet use it as a bookcase to help with organizing your crafts when you set up your crafting area. Keep up the good work!

[@ahoardersheart]

Absolutely LOVE that idea!!! Thank you so so much for sharing that with me ❤️🙏🏼❤️

[@alexkeltner5316]

your videos have helped me help a friend with her hording and feel safe

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh my goodness, that means EVERYTHING to me!!!! Thank you for sharing this with me, this is my why…so we can help each other ❤️🙏🏼❤️🦄💜⭐️

[@mossyoakmom8880]

Yay on getting rid of the kid chair!

[@juliew7379]

I’ve been following you from the beginning from where you wouldn’t even show your face on camera…..you,have come so far! Sending you a massive hug from Devon, England xx

[@jannismclellan9810]

And as always Blackpool ❤️

[@evelynsweeney7381]

Love the fact that you show your tossy tossy pile in the end. Because it shows how far you've come and all that's leaving the house.

[@crimsonrose51]

Not sure why but your basement videos are my favorite!! You always make such satisfying progress!! Thanks for making these videos!!

[@joyindrelie6715]

Running across those ex pictures probably wasn't fun-- thanks for sharing all the parts of your journey. So happy and celebrating with you that your life is full of wonderful, nurturing relationships now!

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you, it does feel like a kick in the gut when I see those pictures. Of course, Pepper made me laugh when she stomped on it!!!! Lol

[@joyindrelie6715]

@@ahoardersheart Love that she stomped on it!

[@ellenstam-mulder3002]

good job, i let all of mine things go what makes me cry. it is so freeing. burn that pictures it feels good to not see them anymore. big hug Ellen

[@charlenebrissette3348]

Someone once said to me, do you want your kids to have to go through all your stuff when you leave this earth. That really got me thinking and helped me get rid of a lot more stuff.

[@renfairegoddess]

Amen. I inherited my Dad's house and moved my stuff into it. I'm currently Swedish Death Cleaning everything (mine and his). Which is essentially what you are saying. Dealing with it so my kids don't have to.

[@ros8986]

If you let it go, you still have Tyler :)

[@judithclughen8955]

Cheering you on from England xxx

[@shereemorgan1430]

I hope soon that you can do a bigger space. And pan your phone to show all of the cleaned out areas. Great video!

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so so much ❤️🙏🏼❤️ I should prolly show what it looks like from the beginning of summer to now! You can really tell the difference now!!

[@The_Joy_Finder]

You are so pretty without any makeup. Not only brave enough to let go of the sunglasses but to go all the way to natural self. You are a lioness when it comes to bravery.

[@kaylag9579]

I hope you continue this in the winter it could be really fun. You could say grab your comfy sweater, your special slippers and your warm coffee or tea and join me on a declutter. Could be fun and I would totally drink tea with you.

[@efhoxie]

I cannot say enough positive things about how brave and meaningful it is for you to share your journey with Hoarding and de-stigmatizing the condition. It has honestly helped me be more compassionate in my thoughts towards my mother who was a hoarder her whole life and after she passed I was resentful of having to clean up her "mess." She was just doing the only thing she knew how to do to feel safe. Thank you for helping me have a more loving attitude towards others who are struggling. Also, in a very loving way, I want to say Pepper is a very sweet girl but she is very overweight and seems to be gaining weight as your videos go on. I say this will the most love as another person who loves my cat so much and I didn't see what I was doing was hurting her until I had a loving partner who pointed out to me that keeping her overweight was hurting her and she didn't get to decide how much to eat, I decided for her. The best way to love her was to make sure she was a healthy weight. Follow up with your vet and read up on it yourself, but housecats in America are routinely very overweight because we think they look 'cute' when they are overweight or we are making them happy by letting them eat as much as they 'want' but we are really hurting them. I know I want my fur baby with me for as long as possible and putting her on a diet was very hard for me (probably more hard than it was for her), but it's our responsibility to make sure our pets stay healthy so they can have long happy active lives with us. Again, thank you so much for sharing your life with us. I don't want to be a critic and it is so brave of you to put your life out there to potentially be criticized. We don't know what we don't know until we learn and I know you have been receptive to loving feedback in the past, and that is what this is meant as; a big hug from a friend with heaps of love and side helping of encouragement.

[@3388sdwyer]

Wow, I'm so glad I subscribed, you are really putting in the work to declutter your life. I would love to see a whole house tour, show how real life looks at this stage in your declutter journey. Keep up the great work!

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe, that’s a fabulous idea!!! I haven’t done a whole house tour in so long! Thank you so so much ❤️🙏🏼❤️

[@alanbirkner1958]

Sometime soon, you can start working on the attic Halloween stuff. Always do the easy stuff first. You're an expert. Tina, Al's wife

[@ahoardersheart]

Haha!!! Yes, Halloween is coming up soon 🎃 Thank you for always sending me encouraging messages 💕

[@jennybird2770]

I was so excitied when I saw your name on the Get Organized schedule! You are my favorite KZbinr. You are such an inspiriation to me

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe!!! Thank you so so much!!! That means so much to me and keeps me motivated to keep going 🦄💜🙏🏼💕⭐️ Thank you for being such a good friend to me!!

[@melanietrester]

Hello from Germany, hi miss heart, meow pepper.... Very good job!!!! Be safe

[@Raxx777]

I though Miss Pepper was gonna poop on those old pics- LOL. Congrats again, also on listening and supporting your son's needs, too

[@elisamaurerbailey2787]

You go girl!

[@susanmunoz7688]

Our sweet ms. Heart, isn’t wonderful that our Loving God, had you made the adorable ms. Pepper art so you can know your safe as the Lord connected you with her and He will always keep you all safe?

[@northernlassie2755]

And I hope she puts on display. Its a great piece of art!

[@christineshultz7615]

First, your hair looks really nice like that. Second, when you get to the changing table I sure the heart strings will be pulled. Maybe you can reuse that in another way in the basement for craft storage or some other way. So many cute ways to reuse changing tables on pinterest.

[@Siures]

Oh yeah! You should really use it! My husband used his old changing table for Lego projects :) I think you will love it especially if the space is a bright and useful.

[@staceywenger4100]

My cats love the top of the change table for a bed (with the changing pad) - maybe Pepper will like it as a basement bed too 🤣 and the bottom 2 shelves are super useful for storage

[@francesrevetria8914]

Yay! First comment! So excited about your participation in Get Organized HQ!

[@francesrevetria8914]

Orrrr 2nd comment 😆

I'm starting a petition to get you to post a clip of pepper's ma mow in one of your videos!

[@Lizzy43645]

Part of me is actually sad that there won’t really be more piles of paper trash - because I know how BIG of a growth thing that is for you. I’m so proud!!!!

[@liljellybean14]

The changes you are making amaze me! It is looking so good. Well done!

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so so much my sweet friend ❤️🙏🏼❤️

[@ginaweeks]

I follow your journey with so much support and understanding as I am finding that I have deep emotional attachments to things in my own decluttering journey. I look forward to catching your presentation in the next HQ. I've been bummed all year that I missed seeing yours last year before the replay window ended.... Determined to catch yours this year! Pepper is such a delight and love that she's such a comfort and support while you declutter. Thank you for all that you do to support others alongside you in the journey. Hugs 💟☀️🌳🌻🌹🦋🕊️

[@ashleycaldereous5339]

Great job on the chair! Basement is looking good.

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so so much my dear friend ❤️🙏🏼❤️

[@cat3crazy]

My stuff gives my value. I know that a lot of people won't understand. I grew up with a brother who was 2 years older and my mom always made sure to tell me how much smarter he was. I have 2 other younger (5 & 12 years) brothers. Again they were more important than me. I don't know if it was because my mother didn't like herself and saw herself in me or the fact that due to my extreme overbite, I was very unattractive. I was able to have the correction surgery in my 20's. I had a job with good insurance insurance. Things change... I can't let go of things that remind me of when I was had good jobs and wasn't just scrapping by. A lot of it is totally useless but important to me.

[@manyhats3846]

As you grow to like/love your self more and more, you will finally be able to let things go more and more! You will realize YOU ARE ENOUGH!!! Keep on taking care of that deserving girl inside of you!❤‍🩹🤗

[@sherrygantt2158]

You are doing an awesome job. May God continue to be with you. And, help you with the rest of this journey.

[@julievw6520]

When will you be a having to your yard sale? You are doing great at decluttering!!

That basement is looking so good. All of your hard internal work is paying off so well. Congratulations on being part of the Get Organized HQ. You’ve come a long way!

[@denver1865]

What a great job you are doing!! You have helped me to understand hoarding so much better and what it actually means, which has nothing to do with what most people think. Thank you!!

[@rebeckamattisson5083]

Yay, great work as always Ms Heart and sweet Pepper! I'm so proud of you.

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so so much my sweet friend ❤️🙏🏼💕⭐️🦄 It truly means so much to my heart!!

[@paulajulias5333]

I just love pepper, so cute and always there for you

[@yvonnehurlbert3845]

I really love how you talk through your process. Even those of us who don't have hoarding disorder struggle to let go of sentimental items. I think we can use some of the methods you use to help ourselves detach.

[@amyferguson337]

You've got this! You are strong!

[@remainingembers]

Still love seeing your progress!! Can't wait till you get to the Konmari decluttering parts when you've gathered all the separate categories together. 💌I'm sure that'll really show how much progress you've made. Also I love Pepper 🥺she seems like such a sweet lovely little queen plopping around on the floor near you 💕

[@judenebaer9997]

Pepper is always by you its so nice and good for you. Healing and growing

[@amara560]

Well done on more progress! The basement is looking better and better ✨

[@nadinewilliamson1037]

Making such huge strides in the basement declutter while still doing other areas in your home.

[@thisisbethm]

Your videos are educational to me and inspiring. I’m a child of a semi-hoarder, and have some of those tendencies just from how I grew up, so it’s helpful. And I adore Pepper!

[@beverlyschroeder5573]

Great Job again

[@Cherriebaby85]

Oh my goodness! I had bought the access pass for the Organized HQ 2022 and I left it to watch in the future... I didn't realize that you had a session! I'll definitely have to watch it now! :) So so so proud of you and how far you've come! I'm slowly bingeing my way through the videos to catch back up. Hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend!!

[@manyhats3846]

Melanie you did well on your letting go!!! I understand about items like the dalmation cards and the McQueen chair! I too struggle with items of my children. I have old, dirty stuffed toys to deal with! Some were too stinky to even wash. I threw them in a plastic bag on the balcony, and there they sit for about a year! I have to deal with it real soon! Some wouldn't understand the big deal. I know you and others understand! That is what makes all of us that are in the same boat not so alone! We are getting there! By the way, Your fingernails are pretty!

[@Motherhustler]

Thank you I claimed my ticket ☺️

[@tvaholicsquidney]

you have been helping me so much, with my getting things under control, I am a hoarder, I have been a hoarder for as long as I can remember, however one of my issues is with teddy bears I have a fair few of them and well I grew up being bullied, not just by kids in school but by my own sisters and my brother at home (one would call me a freak because of my personality but also my disability i have autism as well as another disability), so the only friends I had and still have is my teddy bears, I give them each a name and I talk to them, I know they can't talk back, but they each have their own personalities in my eyes, I talk to them because it's much easier than writing down my feelings, it's difficult when you feel like you have nobody to turn to, I was bullied by my sisters and my brother and my mum never stopped them, and so the only way I could talk about things is to my teddy bears more so after I lost my nan (also my best friend) it was my nan who helped me pursue my love for writing and reading and my obsession of numbers, I have far too many books even I know that and I'm trying to work on lessening down on the amount of books I have at the moment, it is probably the reason why I have so many writing books and so many pens, I won't ever be able to get rid of any of my teddies they mean too much to me, it's my downfall, my sister wanted to throw out a teddy bear and I argued that if she is throwing it out why can't I have it, she went to throw it in the bin and my mum stopped her and said the same either I get it or she keeps it but it doesn't go in the bin, I have got it now, your video's have helped me to part with some things, some small things and some bigger things I am proud of where I am because of your video's I've made more improvements in my bedroom in the last about a month than I had done in the 2 years prior to finding your channel so thank you so much

[@lisaann6267]

So happy you are making such great progress. Have a blessed weekend.🙏💗🤗🌺🌼🌞🌻☕🐈

[@heathergruenberg3273]

Wow.....you are really getting that basement in order!! I hope you are able to have your garage sale soon! Can't wait to see that one!!

You did so well! Another stack bites the dust!! 💖💖

[@shellyleach3377]

I get excited when I see a new video pop up decluttering the basement. I need motivation to keep decluttering more from my home.

Great work!

[@tonibergquist61]

You are doing so good! Thank you for the continued encouragement 💖

[@sburwell75]

Congratulations for beibg part of the decluttering series. I think your session will be so helpful.

[@josephdaly2015]

You are doing a fantastic job decluttering especially painful memories from your past. Also your dreams are coming true helping people all over the world with coping skills for hoarding. Thanks for always helping and encouraging me and so many others. Miss Pepper has the right idea jumping on those photos too and when you burn them release all that hurt, pain and sadness, you now have a wonderful life with your family including pets, friends and your media family/friends too. Can’t wait to join Get Organised HQ. Stay safe and healthy. Mary, Joes wife 👏🙇‍♀️👍💪🙏🤞💐🥳🐈🦄

[@porcelina956]

Glad you were able to let go of those items. I noticed the baby formula can was growing mold so better to let go then make yourself sick. I didn't keep any of my ex-boyfriends' pics I shredded/burned them all. I liked when Pepper hopped in the box and sat on em to protect you.

[@dutchen39]

Yes! I saw you were contributing to Get Organized HQ. So excited for you and looking forward to it. I admire you and your determination and persistence in your journey. It's been wonderful watching you take each step. 🙂💕

So excited for your next video. I feel like you are almost thru everything that had not been touched. Its time for hubby to attack his stuff and for you to get a new start to the Kon Marie method! You are so close! It's gonna be so cool to watch the basement turn into little spaces of joy.

[@Saforra99]

You are doing so well + you are doing a great job articulating your feelings and thought processes -- thank you!

[@lucindanease7857]

[@amandacampbell1979]

You did a great job! Proud of you!!

[@trinn4ever]

Thank you for this decluttering series. It is inspirational and with a kitty assistant even more calming. Back in the days I couldn’t let go of things until our basement got slightly flooded one day and mice infested, so everything stored down there was mouldy, chewed up and therefore ready to go. I no longer store stuff there after that experience and I also revisit my things often and get rid of things in donations, giveaways et cetera :). It gets easier.

[@suzannerockall4030]

[@sarab1076]

You are getting so much of the items more organized clearing out the spaces and putting like with like! You are so close to being able to designate an additional space along with the play area! I am excited to see how you set up and use your next space!!

[@kbal1451]

Great Progress! I've followed you from the start. I'm always decluttering little areas around my home, from under the kitchen sink to a draw to a shelf on my bookshelves. If I hoard anything it's books & Jewellery but I curate my collections a lot too. I'm hoping that you can start going through a little more of the hoard to push those decluttering muscles a little more. Really looking forward to a time when you have finished decluttering, can start doing KonMaris on your crafts and sentimental collections, and then can start making a useable safe space and displaying a few of those sentimental pieces. I wouldn't recommend having them all out at once because it will take you too much time to clean and maintain them. You and your family really deserve to have that basement space to do fun things in.

[@barbarap6851]

Congratulations on being part of Organizing HQ...I have my ticket!

[@lifesagame2006]

That’s a good declutter. I haven’t seen your videos for a while, they’ve not been showing up for me, can see how far you’ve come. Might sounds weird but I felt proud watching how easily you let go of the paper and bits. I’m moving soon so need to do a proper declutter so I’ll be playing your videos to help. Even though I haven’t seen a video in a while I still say tossy tossy when I get rid of things, it’s my tossy tossy pile 😂

[@SalsaNube]

Love how this basement is turning out so clear and spacious! And cannot wait for the organizational event! Last year's one was great, and love I can hear you there:)

[@danixoxo8637]

My favorite game to play watching you is guessing which will be you first tossy tossy

[@megan2176]

I remember those folded notes!! It always baffles me though, wondering how we all knew how to do it before the internet?? I grew up in Ontario, and I'm sure you were likely in the US somewhere. Just funny how something like that spreads. Maybe magazines? Or just good ol' word of mouth through camps, etc. 🤔😊

[@ShopaHAULica]

I am so glad you are back with more videos:) When you were showing the Cars chair,I remembered a recommendation that I saw somewhere. If you have a hard time saying by to the item, try to repurpose it to use it in a different way. For example , for this one, if the lining is fabric, you can make a shopping bag from it. It will be environmentally friendly( less garbage, less plastic bags) and also it will be a great memory you will see and remember each time you use it:)

[@alanbirkner1958]

August 2024. I just tossed over 20 items. I have more T shirts to give to Salvation Army, and a few more books for the library. Tina, Al's wife

[@kayspence2788]

I love your hair.

[@catramos1719]

Great job! Are you guys still doing the yard sale?

[@MrsWatters369]

Just a thought about the chair …. Could you use the cover to make your son a pillow or other DIY item? I have kept some t-shirts to make my daughter a quilt. That way she keeps a piece of the item but uses it for a new purpose. Love your channel. You have helped me so much! We moved last year to a smaller home and I had to let go of many sentimental items. I am still dealing with the emotions. Seeing you let go encourages me to know I can let go as well. ❤️

[@rebeccan3288]
