I had some great costumes (from 12 years of dance) that would have made a wonderful dress up box for Isabelle. I still am mourning the loss of them all.

She'd tossed everything else and said some of it was so interesting! I bet. I'm thinking now that perhaps she learned a little more about me than I would have cared her to. BTW, my beloved high school closet now houses a small kitchen suite and dollhouse/truck basket for the grandchildren. It's good to be loved huh?

For a while earlier this year, I thought I’d lost my yearbooks, and I just about died. Fortunately, I found them. However, the tape of all my friends and me doing skits in drama class is no longer in my possession. Probably because it belongs to my best friend, and she won’t let me keep it at my house anymore.

Fortunately, my mom agrees and all of my keepsakes are stored in my closet in my old bedroom. My mother-in-law does not agree and brings a box of my husband's "crap" to us every time she visits. Some we have boxed up and kept and some we have thrown away. I don't have any dead flowers, but I do have all of my yearbooks, lots of pictures and lots of letters/notes.susanvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054483215955971523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005234532014158396.post-54152462079423743972009-12-22T11:07:43.117-06:002009-12-22T11:07:43.117-06:00Well-my mother informed me that I HAD to read your...Well-my mother informed me that I HAD to read your post today(as if I don't read all of them anyway)! I believe high school memorabilia should stay with the parents too-its' rightful home! At least you haven't made your parents relocate it with them. Mine just moved to KS with my parents. I know, I know...I need to grow up already. Oh and I totally still have a box of old corsaages!! I think my blue and white megaphone also was slipped into our garage at one point.

I should clairfy that: all the stuff from our house - mine included - was moved into her basement. Then one day unbeknownst to us, she had a massive yard sale and sold everything. Uh, yeah. I kid you not.<br /><br />So if you don't know what to do with it all, I can call my aunt for you.Rachel Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14666181671944102358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005234532014158396.post-50844886361103037612009-12-22T09:59:50.340-06:002009-12-22T09:59:50.340-06:00I got all mine a few years ago but I had already s...I got all mine a few years ago but I had already started decluttering several years before that.
