Recently sold my Nana's house. I got rid of most everything but there are still some boxes of antiques that I haven't put away. These boxes are at the house and the boxes of everything else currently resides in a storage building. Today, the shadow box is going up as well as a photograph of my Nana as a child...it's a large oval photo in a very old frame....it's kind of nice to have her in this house with me. :)

In other decluttering news, the piano is coming out of the music room and out into the music room where I think I will play it more often. The fiddle's been out more lately too. My students are busy learning new Christmas music and since I have a piano in my classroom, I play the music and we work on the words..it's kind of pushed me to get my music back out...I had to tuck it away for awhile. Now it's calling so I'm going to put it where it's more easily accessible. DH just got himself a guitar rack to do the same thing....no more hassles with the cases..if he feels like playing his acoustic, there it is. If he wants electric, there it is. If he wants his 12 string, there it is. Lap steel? Same thing. Anyway, it's all part of the decluttering.
   
    I have a few days off for the Thanksgiving holiday and part of these days off will involve getting ready for a home study for our upcoming adoption. I have been making plans for the nursery....currently my office....so lots of decluttering will be going on in there as well this week. I'm actually looking forward to it!!!
