What’s In The Box? Giveaway!
I'm not a massive consumer 365 days of the year. Understatement. When it comes to Christmas, and the giving of gifts we do give some gifts to close family.

But I'm still decluttering...I'm wondering if I'll ever stop? It's also getting easier to decide what to do with decluttered items.
