tip of the week (2/1/2009)

february 1 -- february 7, 2009
this weeks "tip of the week" was sent from Lori from Souix Falls, ND

Lori writes: "Pictures, especially digital ones, take a lot less room than the items themselves. When you're decluttering, think about it. Do you really need to keep the item to remember those good times or will a picture do?

My 20-year-old college textbooks are reminders of a fun time of life for me--but the information within them is too outdated to be of any use. I lined them up on my sofa and took pictures of the covers.

Same thing with favorite dresses from high school; I took pictures and didn't need to hold onto the actual cloth.

I save these pictures together in one computer folder. That way, I can browse through them when I feel nostalgic."
