    Default Decluttering Christmas present finds

    I was messing around in the guest room which has become a catchall for the junk. As I was cleaning and trying to round up all the gifts I had purchased during the year. When I did, I found 6 little trinket boxes with candles in them that I had bought from Current on sale. I got them to save as teacher gifts. Guess what? I had 9 teachers at church to give gifts to - viola!

    In addition, I found some little porcelain angel ornaments that I bought from QVC last year on clearance for gifts. More teacher gifts for preschool and church! (We have lots of church teachers LOL!)

    Wonder what I'll find when I actually get in there to clean it up? It has to be done by the middle of January because my Mopm comes down for Katie's birthday. If I don't get it fixed up she'll have to sleep in one of the kids bunk beds!
