Reducing our stuff one day at a time.
Declutter something that you have been considering getting rid of for a long time. It is still isn’t being used, or doesn’t please you then it is about time you let it go.
About Colleen MadsenColleen is the founder of 365 Less Things and lives in Newcastle, Australia.
My name is Colleen, I currently reside in Newcastle Australia. I am a forty something year old mother of two grown children and in my third decade of being wife to my darling hubby. I love traveling, art and craft, spending time with friends and family and volunteering my time to help others.
My parents taught me well to make, mend, mingle and manage so being frugal, friendly and fun loving would describe me fairly well. I can also be opinionated, outspoken and defensive at times but hey no one is perfect. I look forward to getting to know you as well so join our friendly community here at 365 Less Things where we, that is Cindy, the readers and myself, share opinions, advice and lots of friendly encouragement.

My Mom gave me some things she is ready to declutter. Things like Florist’s wire, shelf paper, thin transparent plastic with one sticky side to use to waterproof signs, etc and basso wood “stakes.” I took them to one of the Thrift Shop ladies because I knew they could use them for signs and for the seasonal floral arrangements. They were excited to receive them. Mom was happy because they were going to be used. I was happy because they were out of Mom’s apartment. Win-win!!
I made a phone call to offer away a traditional spinning wheel which was given to me a couple of months ago. I am truly relieved it will no longer be my responsibility.
