I kept my own artwork for years, dragging it from house to house to house. I finally asked myself the right question that gave me permission to declutter it - "Would I frame this and hang it on my wall?" If yes, I did. If no, into the trash. Because if I wouldn't hang it on my wall probably nobody else would either. It was soul crushing at the time but now I can't remember any of the pieces I threw away. The joy was in the creation, not the final product.

I agree with the joy is in the creation! I have found if I hold onto every creation sometimes that stops me from working on more art =)

Either pull off the stickers on the clear tubs or turn them to the back, it actually makes the closet look cluttered after all your hard work😊 I learned that years ago after thinking my spaces looked cluttered after a weeks worth of decluttering, I discovered it was eye clutter.

P.S. I have the camcorder bin with various VHS tapes and believe it or not, there is even a camcorder with a tape stuck inside. I remember I was recording our oldest ...our son... when he was around twelve playing his guitar and then I couldn't finish because the tape was stuck. We even took it to a camera guy and they couldn't figure it out. The bin has two different camcorders in various states of disarray. And then all of the VHS tapes... One has the ultrasound of our son on it! I was a nanny at the time and the father of that child I was taking care of made us an extra copy on an empty VHS tape he had. I've asked my husband several times, "What are we going to do with all of these v h s tapes?! and camcorder tapes?!" Somehow, we have to get it all condensed. I thought about taking it to someone who does videography. Or maybe, that's even outdated. I just don't know. But let me tell you we recorded everything.... Birthday parties weddings recitals concerts and tape after tape of just the kids playing. I get anxiety thinking about it. How can we even watch It?When the equipment to watch it is broken or missing cords/chargers or whatever. One time we were even holding onto an old TV that had a VCR in it just to use it for that purpose but we finally let that go... This bin is in our bedroom closet along with all of the photo albums and negatives... The anxiety on this is real. In saying that, this is the only thing left in our house left to tackle. Husband isn't stressed at all. He just says, "yep.That's the bin with the camcorder stuff."😮😅

Shannon&Kathy~ Someone here wrote how they started to declutter their youtube subscriptions except for y'all.....SAME. When I first began this journey in 2017, ALL minimalism & simple living channels seemed good, then you just realize, if everything is valuable, nothing is valuable- bc you cannot focus-kind of like..decluttering! It's like... you begin to see clearly what is helpful and what is not. I am very thankful for you! This video brought so much: Relatability. Plus, so many laughs in the process. ( .... "Well I was going to start making my own clothes in my spare time so"...)Anything in life starts with a wonderful attitude and positivity, which you all have! When I saw this video pop-up I thought, oh I only have my one little craft area on our closet shelf in our bedroom and it's all decluttered. But I told myself, i'm going to grab all of it while I tune in. Sure enough?!? I Filled a whole trash bag with things from my crafty stuff. I thought I would have nothing bc i'm already Decluttering one item a day every day this year. But those "hobby things" are almost tied to our self worth like security blankets, in my opinion. I think hobbies are very important and good to have. But, it's also very important to reassess what season you're in and what hobby or hobbies you love the most❤ I thought I'd post my list of what I let go of here in case it can encourage someone like ya'll have spurred me on today ❤ Crafty photo box Yarn to make dish scrubbies Sewing case with..old thread LOL Ribbon & wire like twine heehee ✏️ mechanical pencils Knitting pattern ( partially started several yrs ago..still on needles!) Yarn to go w/ knitting pattern Nail color Nite light Alarm clock Pom pom balls (bought for one specific craft I won't make again) Pkg of copy paper Pkg of sheet protectors Laminating machine Blouse Plus more I've forgotten... As you can see I found other things along the way that were not even in the craft bin. All of this I did during your video❤🎉😊 The dish scrubbie yarn was new but I realized that no one cares for dish srubbies.But instead, they want dish cloths. The knitting pattern is a funny story. For years I wanted to knit my own teddy bear... Because I thought it looks cute as an accent or decor piece. Now i've decided it's just too tedious. I don't know what my addiction to that is but somehow I thought about Kathy's cat🐱shirt that she finally let go of. So i'm sure you understand😊 Kathy I can relate about being in your bedroom with the record player singing to your songs. I used to roller skate to mine in the basement as well LOL Thoughts of 🛼 to blondie and the beach boys are now coming to mind..LOL Love and hugs to both of you😊😊

Great job! A couple suggestions 1) record albums-you can take a quick photo of the album cover and donate the album. If you love the songs they will automatically pop into your head when you see the photo later. You can also find many songs on the internet if you really want to listen to them. 2) old family pictures/movies/dvds- definitely save until someone has time to carefully evaluate them. My hubby recently had the time to scan and enhance family photos from many many decades ago. We rotate many of them on an electronic photo screen…precious memories!

I started switching up my home coming out of my 20s as had a complete mindset change and wanted to embrace being more minimalist (plus save some money).

Excellent job! Ruthless!!! It's surprising, we keep crafts and bins of potential craft supplies. I had them when my daughter was in school, because there was always some project she needed for school. So much easier to come up with something from the bins then to have to go out to a store. I downsized my craft and sewing stuff years ago. I kept only the basics of sewing for that occasional button or hem; all fits in one drawer of the antique singer sewing machine!

I enjoy your shares but do have a comment to make about your “bins” that I noticed you don’t appear to remove the stickers on the outside of any of the bins. 😂😂😂 When it comes to the VHS tapes, I believe they decrepitate/break down over time - I was told 10 years for VHS, and at Costco they were put on DVDs, and they really weren’t very clear. You may want to look into figuring out which ones you want to have transfered over…also there is a little girl out there who loves horses but lives in the city who would love the drawing of the horse in her room. ❤

Love watching you and your mom declutter. We had the same problem with lots of home/family movies. My oldest brother started a youtube channel and he uploaded all of the movies onto the channel and shared the link with family. We have had so much fun watching the parades, holidays, road trips, and family gatherings. It was a lot of work for my brother; however, we are so thankful we have access to them anytime we want to reminisce.

I am really finding that I need to declutter a space, then come back later, maybe months later, and make another “pass through” because it’s like peeling layers of the onion, you go further and deeper each time and surprise yourself. I love these videos, and it’s so true, what do you do with art work, or home videos? I’ve just gone through the process of putting my home videos onto my computer, so now they are digital files and I can let go of the bulky tapes. You can have this done professionally, or connect your vhs machine up to your computer with some inexpensive software to make those conversions yourself. Perhaps while you’re there, you can edit it down to the essential, just of people and occasions and not endless landscapes, etc. Greetings from Michelle in Australia.

Brilliant decluttering vlog as always.. I moved my ribbons to my gift wrapping paper and use it to decorate presents. If I need it for crafts, I can still use it, but it is being used on every gift I wrap. Once its gone, its gone. Then I can buy new IF I need it for a craft project. Take the family VHS and DVDs to a company that can transfer them onto a hard drive (then distroy them). Thats what I did with ones I wanted to keep. I stopped "making videos" because we NEVER watch them.. but we love looking back at photos in our foto album books.

This decluttering interested me, I also had sewing things from high school. I’m 63 yrs young and don’t even sew! I also had so many craft supplies that I got overwhelmed with it all. Got rid of it through the years and didn’t miss much of it. Now venturing into journaling the books that I read and trying to be very conscious not to buy just to buy! Also use to do craft stuff with my grandkids but they don’t like to do it now, youngest is 7! Thanks for sharing!!!

My hubby has his collection of albums. we don't have a record player either.😒 Love that bird fabric!

I used to sew a lot. My past self loved it. I decluttered my sewing machine and supplies years ago but held on to a small sewing basket for mending. You inspired me today to part with a lot of colorful spools of thread. I have a mostly neutral wardrobe now (hello, self). Though the thread was contained in the basket it was chaotic in there. I saved the colors I may need for repairs and have filled a quart ziplock to donate. Gee, if I ever need red thread (or burgundy, etc. ). I'll pick it up then. Cheers.

Please add LABELS! My Clutter-buster lady couldn’t emphasize enough the importance of LABELING! She said the act of having to open a bin to determine what is inside takes a lot of energy that you don’t have to use.

Thanks for the inspiration, as always! I’m dealing with a bad back right now so I can’t do any major decluttering, but this is a reminder that even decluttering relatively small spaces really adds up & makes a difference! Im going to pick a few areas (that don’t require reaching, climbing or heavy lifting) and work on that today!

I needed to see this! I just took out a huge box of ribbons and crafts out of my closet this morning! I have it within my sights so I have to declutter! 😂

Your Mom might need to: Hang a bird Make Fourth of July spiders Meet someone with a horse one day and give them an original horse drawing! I have to laugh because I always think of reasons to keep things too, lol. I love you both and this was another great declutter!!

I have several puzzles that my daughter and I share back and forth. I have a window seat where I store some of my older ones and I have gone to putting them in extra large or large ziplock types of bags. I just gut the front of the box out and place it in with the puzzles. It takes some much less space. I am slowly going through the puzzles and making sure all the pieces are there, then will give away if I decide not to keep a few a the special ones. I have done the same with the kid puzzles and have them ready for when our two younger grandsons are here. Great job of finding new homes for some of your items.

Keep the art! My mom and dad are both artists and are critical of their own work, and stored it away. But as my siblings and I have aged, and we have older children who appreciate original art, they have given us many of their of their creations. We appreciate having their artwork they produced years ago, and display them in our homes. Keep it to give to your posterity when they are ready for it (giving a little at a time works better than dumping a whole pile. That's too overwhelming and they may not appreciate the individual pieces when presented with several pieces at once)
