What a cluttered life we lead...

I am so sick of the mess that we live in!! Today my son was sick which meant that I was stuck at home. I've been meaning to de-clutter so I thought I would tackle our family room. I emptied just TWO of their many toyboxes and this is what it looked like. My problem is that I don't know where to begin. There are millions of game pieces of games long lost. What I cannot seem to do is to throw these pieces away. I feel bad that I will be filling our garbage dump with so much plastic and I can't give them to Goodwill because there isn't a complete set of anything. I have collected all these little pieces and hope that I can make something crafty with them one day. Stay tuned and hopefully I will come up with something....

  1. I hope you find some good uses/crafts for all those game pieces.

    If you have a lot of crayon bits you can turn them into Colour Cookies. You can check it out at http://thetobyshow.typepad.com/the_toby_show/cheap-easy.html.

  2. I still think giving them to Goodwill is a good idea. I've bought things before that weren't a complete set. Sometimes just to get a piece that I'm missing, or to have extra pieces. :o)

  3. Oh man... Would it make you feel better to know I have a collection just like yours? Maybe if we put ours together we can get complete sets of things???

    Can you recycle the plastic???

  4. Oh yes I have seen this mess before. It is hard to throw the first piece away but once you do it is so liberating. Next thing you know you have throw it all away and screaming "Yes, Yes, Yes!" It feels to so good to be free of those tiny little pieces out of the floor.
