My art teacher said she’s grateful to be getting some supplies from me because it’s been hard for her to get out & get her own. That makes me very happy to know they are going to a good “home”🥰
As a Michigander, I just can’t relate to being able to store anything in an exposed, outdoor space. It’s like watching California school kids walk outside between classrooms in January!! We’re all, like, 🌨🌬❄️☃️ You’re doing great!! I just gave away a bunch of beading supplies because Reality 😜. I keep doing the expiration thing on knitting stuff…and then violating my deadline. Hard to let go of the me I wish I was 🤷🏻♀️
I’m lucky I can do the outdoor thing because my house has so little storage & I just can’t stand to see the clutter inside anymore! My hope is to one day be able to take the shed down tho! I know I can get there💪🏼
If i'm not going to use it, I let it go so that someone else can use it. That's how I get through the process. You are definitely pass your second layer of peeling away at the onion. 👏👏👏
You are an artist so.... besides the creative outlet there's a financial incentive of incoming and outgoing. Realistically hours in a day vs energy levels don't always mesh.😂You are doing amazing! Tina and Tracy work together well!
Thats SO TRUE! The great thing about doing these videos is not only is my house getting decluttered/cleaned but it’s a creative outlet that doesn’t TAKE UP SPACE or require SUPPLIES🤣I could geek out with video production equipment but I’ve exercised enormous restraint in that area! Only bought a ring light & tripod for my phone💪🏼 Usually when I start a new venture I go nuts & buy everything in sight “just in case” I need options but there’s a cost barrier with the video equipment so that helped🤣…Tina & I are going to hit the kitchen next for a deep declutter/clean💪🏼
Who can afford to keep up to date with electronic equipment!? 🤣😂 I have no artistic ability and computers only came from NASA and were ENORMOUS! I am impressed with myself I can use my own cell phone. Lol. Growing up we listened to radio once a week and TV wasn't in most homes. 🤣😂💯OLDER THAN DIRT. 😂🤣👍I can look at something and see if I like it or not but can't even color in the lines! Keep on with your decluttering muscles!💪💯👍! You can already see all kinds of progress!
Keep up the great work, Rome wasn't built in a day. Thank you for the great videos I enjoy the videos more that TV and I love the encouragement you are providing I believe we beat ourselves up too much and we need to remember we have good and bad days, just take them one step at a time.
I’m definitely guilty of beating myself up but I’m getting better🥰I enjoy UA-cam more than regular tv too. I’m hoping to one day be able to take down the shed completely 🤞🏼
Oh it was nice seeing Tina work 🤣 you did great 👍 How do you feel your space looks amazing 👏 little mowing and help with trash removal. It will be a new empty canvas of Art for you. I can't wait to see what you do with it. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU SOON 😀
Ok I had to go back and watch old video !! Ok so not mowing lol de weed the flower beds ?? Just imagine walking outside with beautiful plants 🪴 and flowers 💐. Would help you feel so much better 🥰 I mowed yesterday for the first time this season. Now next flower beds. And just keep going. I set a table up in my living room for pc ,and VCR player .🤣 Now I have to take everything down because am taking up carpet. Redoing is no fun. But am more organized than before I set it up. And it's super cool your giving to your old art teacher. Makes it easier to let go knowing it will be used
It feel SO LIGHT & I can breathe back there now! I’m excited to finally (after 2 years) put together the bench I bought for back there😃 One step closer to fairy land again🤩
I am so excited to see you decluttering your art supplies because I know how hard that is, and I love how you just got very logical and imagined the students who could use the stuff. Give me the huge difference to cut the amounts in half. Loved this video. The part where Tina discovered the intimate snails was hilarious! I really look forward to your videos and find them really inspiring. Plus super entertaining.
That is some great progress. :) Don´t beat yourself up if you did expect to declutter more. Its a marathon not a race and maybe the next time you go through your stuff, you might find more you don´t need. I like the idea with the date :) But please don´t forget to take breaks. You don´t need to do all at ones. Hope you have a great day. Greetings from Germany
Thank you so much☺️I was happy just to part with ANY art supplies😆It’s been so hard to downsize those but I’m getting better at it! It’s been 6 months since I went through that shed and am giving myself 7 more months before I attempt decluttering in there again. Figure maybe I’ll be ready to let go of more by then👍🏻
That Tina😂🤣 Look at you talking through decluttering rationally. Tracy, you just gave me the BEST advice/ideas/suggestions in this video!! Thank you❤ I love Tina's idea for your patio area. Girl's got great vision! Love the music again and the pink, flowered background🌺
It was definitely an intense, long 2 days. Definitely would recommend spreading it out at least 3-4 days but I was in the mode. I ended up going to the dump this morning. But it IS DONE! Luckily there wasn’t anything stinky in the bags since I left them overnight😬
New Fav video-I really enjoyed watching you work on that back area. It looks so much better. Awesome that you found the willingness to pare down art supplies. As always I enjoyed Tina's antics and snarkiness. Good job!!
Wow! you two got flow today 😄 Tracys "keeping half" is such a win, great for the kids with all those art supply donations to. Tinas cleaning outside and going to the dump is great. 👍 Hurray for you.
What a fun video! You did a great job decluttering too! I decluttered some papers and did some shredding and found 2 books to part with. Yay! Love the Exp. date idea...
Oh my gosh...you are on fire!!! I am so impressed...you are making decisions so quickly and so well. Trust me, you most likely will never miss the things that have left your home. Your yard looks so much bigger and better!! You are inspiring me, as well...I am getting close to the time when I declutter/reorganize my art/decor items! Keep up your great work, Tracy! Your living room looks awesome as well!
Thank you 😃I feel very accomplished getting that done AND having a tidy living room! I didn’t have to do a massive clean up in order to move my operation inside either🤪
Thank you! It’s really an amazing space that I’m really lucky to have! Only my row of townhouses have them and it really adds a lot of living square footage, now that it’s cleaned up that is! I’m looking forward to at least getting the bench I bought for out there put together so I can enjoy the fresh air with coffee while my dogs play. I’ve had the bench like 2 years but never took it out of the box before because it was such a mess back there! Hoping one day I can downsize the storage “shed” too! 🤞🏼Work in progress
Test the caulking first before applying it! I had an old one that I was saving and it expired(who knew they even do that) and it never dried and I had to remove it. Huge pain in the butt lol
Oh my gosh THANK YOU for that tip! I hadn’t even thought of that😲Its probably only about a year old so I’m really hoping its still good (that’s how long it’s been that I’ve been planning those projects😆). Wow, for real, thank you!
This was a GREAT video. I didn’t want it to end 😂 I had many thoughts watching this video so I’m re-watching it while writing this to you 🤗 I really enjoyed the structure of your video: Tracy vs. Tina 😂 It was really entertaining! Using an expiration date is a very smart solution. It helps you to move on from that feeling of wanting to keep everything. You trick your mind into believing that the momentum is still going. And since you already gave a decision about its expiration, in November you won’t have to think and you’ll just get rid of it. My advice is to also put a reminder before your exp.date. Otherwise the mind might try to find excuses why the time was not enough. The reminder will help you to go through these stuff and maybe trigger you into using them before the deadline. About the paint plates, I don’t really know how toxic is paint. Cleaning the plate with water and letting the paint mix with the sewer system might be dangerous. Maybe using disposable plates might be less harmful. For jewelry that is not valuable or sentimental, you can tell yourself that you can always go to a thrift shop and buy a 5dolars necklace if you need. Also for the velcro or other art supplies, if they are quite inexpensive try to let them go. The free space at your house (in your mind) is worth sooo much more! Always try to picture the day where you will not have to declutter or try to decide whether to keep or donate stuff but just clean the dust off of them. I suggest that you gradually let go of containers that you don’t really like or is very old or a weird size. Having a bin available might be a magnet for storing more stuff. I really hope that your videos fall into the algorithm soon and other people watch then and get motivated as well thanks to your hard work and energy you share with us 💜
Thank you sooooooo much for all the tips & for watching (& rewatching 😃). Those are all great suggestions! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video structure🤩It was something new I was trying & I agree, much more entertaining! Expect to see that moving forward👍🏻 Re: paint palate, the awesome thing about these plates (I’ve tested them out) is I can let the paint dry then soak them in water, then the acrylic paint just peels off so I can toss in trash! No polluting the ocean❤️That being said, I have a TON of the disposable plates to go through so it will be a hot minute before I even get to the regular plates🤣 …I too hope my videos hit the algorithm soon😆Every view, like, comment & share helps though! So THANK YOU for contributing 🥰❤️ I’m working hard on improving my content and production/editing quality so hopefully as new people find my videos they will get good “stats” and will catch that wave. In the meantime I’ll keep getting stronger and hopefully helping/inspiring/motivating the people that are with me now❤️🙏🏼After my last video where I said I felt I was speaking to that one person out there that needed help, someone replied that they were the “one” and that meant the WORLD to me!!! I’m just happy to help anyone I can! It’s not an easy journey, especially in the beginning, but its💯 WORTH IT!!!! 💥💥💥Thank you again! You can rewatch my videos as much as you want🤩❤️
Loving the new intro! I love your outside! You rocked it Tracy Soo proud of u! U have a beautiful outside space you should make it over? With your painting talent some lights outdoor furniture it could be beautiful! That dresser outside you can’t take in your car just smash in smaller pieces then it will fit in your car
The pictures in the beginning was something I did back in 2014, if you can believe it! I really want to get it nice again. Thats what all those green fake ivy plants were bought for. Didn’t think to mention it!
another thing to consider is ty o let go of anything that is replaceable and cost less than $20. This idea has kept my head logical when thinking about getting rid of something. I am drowning in stuff and not having something is better.
Yes! Something I said about those green wire sticks (didn’t make the cut) was that they were probably only a couple bucks so even if I had to buy more (unlikely, lol) it wouldn’t hurt the wallet.
you're doing great! Those art kids are going to be so excited to get new material and supplies!
My art teacher said she’s grateful to be getting some supplies from me because it’s been hard for her to get out & get her own. That makes me very happy to know they are going to a good “home”🥰
So many good “letting go” decisions; especially the glitter. You and Tina are the cutest!
😃🤩😎Thank you! We’ll be at it again in the kitchen for a deep declutter & clean! 💥
Who is this new logical Tracey!?! She was kickin a&$ in this video! Great job!! You also provide some great gems of rationalization I will use!💪🏼
I know right?!??🥳Getting better!💪🏼

@@TracyAkamine yup, your decluttering muscles are definitely getting stronger! Imua!
@@eversosophi9653 💪🏼
This was such a great video! I loved that you split in half so many of your art supplies. Your yard is gonna look gorgeous once you are finished. :)
Thank you! I figure 1/2 is great! In another 6 months I’ll be even stronger💪🏼🥳

Excellent !! And I'm so glad the pink princess is helping you more and not being mean to you about your stuff, I can't wait for the next one. 👯👯🌹🌹

BTW- Tina needs to get more guts when dealing with outside trash. What a wusss!
🤣🤣🤣🤣Better her than me!🤣🤣🤣
Awesome! Totally enjoying your journey!

Awesome! You can do it! I’m getting ready to do some decluttering/cleaning today too!🤩
Looking good!

great progress - it's like peeling an onion - looking forward to seeing more
Yes, I’ve heard the onion analogy & can see that it’s exactly that. The early layers can definitely make you cry too😆 Thank you for watching! 😃
Tracy, great job. Fun to watch. The patio is looking so, so much better.
So hAppy for you. 😁
Cheers
Thank you 😃I can actually breathe back there now! 👏🏼

Putting an expiration date on things is such a great idea!!! I’m going to use your idea to help me!!! Thank you 🙏 for your channel!!

Yup! Keep weeding things out little by little if you have to😎
You can make glitter into lunar paste by mixing with a liquid adhesive such as glue and use on your art projects.
Ooooooo sounds fun! 🤩
Good job can’t wait to see it done

Great declutter.
