Decluttering
I've been spending the past few days decluttering our storage room (and making good use of the paper shredder). It feels like I've gotten rid of a lot of stuff, but I know there's a lot more that I need to trim down. There's no reason I need to save my old timesheets from 1992, or paystubs from 1994, or checking account statements from 1995, and so on.

A lot of the stuff I sorted through was from back in my old mail art/zine publishing days. I was a lot more selective in culling this than I'd previously been, only saving the really interesting stuff. Man, those where the days. I used to get a near-constant stream of weirdness in my mailbox, much to the amusement of the folks at the post office.

I keep thinking I should get back into that, but there's so much else to do.

... on April 1, and that would give you something to do.

I find it hard to part with old records. Or anything else.

*sigh* Spring cleaning, WANT.

Awesome. Perhaps I'll have better luck with it than my NanoWriMo attempt. -:)

ferret whimpers, for I too have many APAs with no space to store 'em. I adore the decorated envelopes I sent and received back then.

Lewis Carroll wrote so many letters that he had a ledger system just to track them all (hundreds, perhaps 1,000 letters, many with art and puzzles and special things for the recipient).

By luck, I found the book "Good Medicine" by Charles Russell: color reproductions of his illustrated letters from the American frontier! A LOT of personality and character in every letter!
