| Describe an item or collection in your home that represents something important about you or your life. The item(s) may be related to your history, your present life, or your dreams, goals, and desires for the future. | I have a big collection of fabric dating back to the 1970's. I shared the love of sewing with my grandmother. I even took my sewing machine to college, it was my emotional support gadget. Grandma brought me beautiful silk from Thailand, which I still have. Silk never disintegrates. It is in perfect condition. However the patterns are not my style anymore. It is hard to part with. I also have lots of other fabric which I'm admitting I will never use, thanks to Clutter Fairy. I'm ready to shed my identity as an excellent seamstress. As if to validate this decision, my sewing machine jammed up just as I was finishing re-covering my patio chair cushions. Maybe a sign. |
| Complete the following statement: “If I had to let go of ___________, it would feel like losing a part of myself.” | My DIY projects. |
| Imagine if a complete stranger walked through your home right now. How might that stranger describe the person or people who live in your space? | "She is buried under boxes and boxes of photos, photo albums, yearbooks, and all her mothers stuff. Should I call 911?" |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | My adult daughter came home for a weekend. She "helped me" declutter my closet. I recognize the clothes aren't flattering, and some were purchase mistakes (thrifting). I'm stuck in the "I might still wear that." and "If I get rid of too many clothes, I will want to buy new ones." Any tips for getting through the hard part between bagging up stuff and dropping it at the thrift shop? The bags are taunting me from the garage. |
| Future topics | How to gage what you are in the mood for when planning a declutter session. e.g. "I should de-clutter my papers, but it is overwhelming." |
