You all are doing great! Keep up the good work, there are flat surfaces under there somewhere...

Okay, it will be a BIG de-clutter when I get it done, but it's probably going to take me an unconscionable amount of time to do it--I've been reading ideas about how to "organize" all my genealogy files (back to the beginning, no?) and have decided I want to set up my rolltop desk drawers to keep those records in. That m3eans, first of all, that I need to clean out what's already in them, most of which can be shredded, I think, and another place found for the remains. Then I will have to sort all the papers, etc., that are presently in several different places in several rooms, and consolidate them into some sort of filing system. The ultimate result I hope will be my computer table cleared, a bookshelf mostly cleared, some more storage in the craft room, and the ability to find facts, papers, etc. about the ancestors, all in one place.

Wish me luck! Don't know if my stamina is up to it, but I'm going to give it a shot anyway.

Thanks for all the inspiration this thread has given me. Now, one piece at a time, eh?
