My, what a lot of work it was. I do purge and go through papers as well in the new year as we get ready for all the accounting efforts for the IRS, sigh! Enjoyed your lovely pictures of the snow... so beautiful, and your collage pictures are especially beautiful!

We had about 3 inches so far this winter...so little snow. And I seem to purge and clear, clean in winter too. Last year I went through so much...this winter, we finish the basement, the frig and freezers and I am purging loads of photos from years ago. I have about 50,000...at least 10,000 need to go. <br /><br />Donna@GardensEyeView<br />and LivingFromHappinessDonna@Gardens Eye Viewhttp://gardenseyeview.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460244051990142578.post-87778892380586716172016-01-11T09:37:38.446-07:002016-01-11T09:37:38.446-07:00I envy your snow, Ann!

I too would love to share the dazzle of snow with my readers, but it seldom happens.<br />As to decluttering, I should be doing what you are doing. The work is so immense I need to do it gradually.<br />Love your Christmas ornaments.

But, I will not complain. I love your snowy angel, images and mosaics. De-cluttering is something hubby and I have been doing. It is nice to find something that has gone missing for a while. Thanks for the Sumac id, I would love to see the lazuli bunting.

Feels good. <br />My husband takes care of the paper work and he did a big batch of shredding a month or so ago. Keeping up with clutter is a constant task. <br />Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460244051990142578.post-78848753287537516802016-01-10T20:44:54.658-07:002016-01-10T20:44:54.658-07:00I admire your efforts to purge, Ann.

Myself, my office is the kitchen! But I hear you on cleaning the drawers and closets, I need to do that and this month is perfect. We haven't gotten much snow here in Chicago but we were hit with a terrible freeze...it's 7 degrees right now. Brrrrr...staying in the next few days. <br /><br />Love your snow pictures...beautiful! :)<br /><br />Jane xBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460244051990142578.post-56640323313739607212016-01-10T14:31:49.496-07:002016-01-10T14:31:49.496-07:00I would love a white scene like that instead of ev...I would love a white scene like that instead of everlasting rain.

How do things get so out of control? My worst place is the basement but I hope to have it fully cleaned out by spring. <br />You have a lot of snow and it looks light and fluffy piled on the branches and table. <br />I rather like the colourful balls on the tree and think they should stay out until spring.Judith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.com
