Perhaps its time to call "Clean Sweep" !!! LOL I love to watch that TV show - and it amazes me at the clutter people have ! The lady on there says if u dont use something in 6 months, its a goner. She says if you (or your child) has too many stuffed animals, you have to choose a certain number to keep, the rest go to charity, etc. I have really learned alot of strategies for getting stuff outta my house (still have a long way to go tho !) from watching the show. I hear what u are saying tho, you want to get rid of it, sorta, but you just don't actually DO it. How about setting a date - perhaps a weekend, and you and the kids work at it together, and load up the car with what you can take to a consignment shop or to a charity, and once it has been taken there, treat yourselves to a nice dinner out or a movie........make it a family project with a reward ! (Might even up the stakes for the kids by saying whoever has the most boxes gets dessert - the other doesn't) . IF the clutter is bothering you, the longer it is in your house, the more it will bother you ! (The cat hair on the items in that box - take the top clothes outta the box that are covered in cat hair- and shut the box tight......that way you only have a few items to wash !)

With all that said - I REALLY need to clean up my craft room !!!!!!!! LOL
