    Continuing on my Uncluttering.  Its a challenge, but first is to stop the inflow of materials into my home, then the purge continues.

    I'm taking an online minimalist class.  These actions totally fit into my class and homework as I work to declutter my home.

      Crystle-I watched The Minimalists on Netflix, then found the Uncluttered course through Facebook.  I'm slowly working to minimize the stuff in my house.  Just trying to prevent stuff from coming in that I don't need is the first hurdle.  Just bought a cute pair of black boots from REI.  Been thinking about those for a long time, but they will coordinate well with the skirts and dresses that remain in my closet.  Clothes and books are the hardest for me to reduce.
