I had no idea how large this closet is -- it is sort of like Dr. Who's TARDIS -- it is much bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. However, extensive editing is going on.

Anyway, enough nostalgia. The pile for the Goodwill run is looking pretty healthy, and I feel less like I could appear on an episode of Hoarding, Buried Alive. All in all, my time is pretty productive at the moment, though I am in the throes of de-cluttering as opposed to creating stuff. I consider this process a necessary downside of being creative. Sigh.
There will be no photos of this process. It is just too embarrassing! However, here is a photo of dear daughter and I in the old days, working together on a cooking project -- which is more fun, but less cathartic.
There must be something in the air. I've been sorting too, though not through closets but through files cabinets and file boxes. I sort, Dave does a second sort to make sure I haven't accidentally missed something important and then what doesn't need to be keep for tax purposes or proof of payment, etc gets shredded. I'm a paper hoarder, I guess (all neatly categorized and filed.) Well, it's time for the majority of this stuff to go so that I can downsize my filing system. I mean, honestly... I have the instruction manuals and warranty cards for VCRs we don't even own anymore.
