Spring’s here! It’s time to have fun decorating for Easter and Spring. Traditions are such an important part of life. I especially loved the baby ducklings and chicks in the pet stores. I was lucky enough to get to choose a duckling named “Quack-Quack,” of course, to raise as a pet.
And, while you’re decorating, it’s the perfect time to organize your decorations.
- Decorate: Use your favorites because when they emotionally resonate with you, it will be that much more enjoyable for those who come into your space to appreciate.
- Add something fresh: Beautiful blooms, fresh grass, chicken or duck egg shells…more on this to come…
- Maybe add some new things.
Now it’s time to organize!
- Once you are done decorating, there is much less to go through.
- Look at what you didn’t use.
- Consider each piece. Why didn’t you use it? Does it need repair? Do you still love it? Would you use it again?
- Donate now. After the holiday, the donation place may not take these seasonal piece(s).
- Repack the keepers. Purchase new containers and wrap them if needed. Remember to have containers large enough so you can add things you are currently decorating with after the holidays.
- Either use see-through containers or be sure to clearly label for easy identification in the future.
