My first kindle I wasn't a fan of, but when they came out with the paperwhite, I was sold.It’s week 39 of my Declutter 52 Things in 52 Weeks Challenge. I am just at a point in my life where I don't want to store hundreds of fiction books, when my e-reader can hold 1,000 books in the space of one. I still love the smell of a used book store, and I like looking at real books. Non-fiction like cookbooks and quilting books I want in paper format, fiction I'll take on my e-reader. The built in light on my kindle doesn't bother DH near as much as me using booklights did, and I prefer just tapping the screen to go to the next page rather than juggling a paper book. I already told her next time just give me the title of a really good book, I just don't read paper fiction anymore.
I found the books she lent me on kindle, downloaded them, and I'm going to mailing the books back to her. I only read fiction at night in bed, and my Kindle Paperwhite is much easier to manage than a paper book and a book light. The one thing I'm getting rid of that I haven't gotten out of the house yet is some fiction books a friend sent me. The last time I made him a cape he was little, and now he's taller than I am! I thought I only had black quilting cotton in the house.until I came across the old curtains. Mr Z, my oldest grandson, just asked me to make him a black cape. When I went through a linen closet that didn't have a lot in, I actually found two sets of curtains and a couple of satin table runners we used for a party years ago.

When DH was in the Army, I always hung onto extra curtains, because we moved so frequently, I never knew what size the windows would be in the next place. I also found a few things I thought I had already purged.įor example, I thought I had given away all the extra curtains I had. DH didn't think I'd make it through the month, because I do declutter on a regular basis, but this challenge made me rethink some things I had been keeping. I did it! I decluttered at least the number of items of the date each day! Several days I was way over that. Today is the last day of June, and the end of the declutter challenge I did with two of my girls.
