Spring is in full bloom! It's time to shed the pounds... of your home! There are the conventional ways: yard sale, donate, rent a dumpster and toss. But the hoarder in all of us has trouble letting go of particular things. So here is my solution. Host a Swap Party!
What is a swap party you ask? Well, invite friends, family, neighbors, anybody over and ask them to bring at least 10 items they no longer use and want to get rid of. These could be clothes, furniture, anything they just want to get rid of. Then place all the items out for everyone to see and start hunting. Soon you'll be distracted by others goodies that you won't even think about the sequenced dress you loved in the 80's.
Once everyone is done grabbing new items they want to take home, donate the rest of the items. Be sure to have food and refreshments so everyone keeps their fuel up :) And remember the saying one man's trash is another man's treasure. Have fun with it!
