Hi everyone! We are joining Comedy Plus’ Awww….Mondays and The A-Z Blogging Challege, today is the letter H.
Hope the Easter Bunny was good to everyone. Rudy is happy with the catnip carrot he scored.
For the letter H, I should be decluttering Holiday items, but I don’t want to. Each season I go through things and donate ones I no longer use, but I love my decorations ( especially Halloween and Christmas) and they give me joy so despite the fact that they take up a big portion of a spare bedroom upstairs, I have no plans to get rid of any.
And one more H- the blog, Happy Organized Life is hosting a free declutterathon challenge the last week of April, you can register by clicking here.
Rosie will be here tomorrow with the latest news from our house.
Happy Easter
Happy Belated Easter! XO
I luv my catnip carrot too!
Good. 🙂
A cute picture of Rudy! Keeping holiday decorations is good, they are lots of fun!
Thank you. 🙂
You absolutely ARE the “Decorating Queen” Miss Ellen – your house is always decorated for every occasion so OF COURSE you need a room to store all of that in. That would be a tough room to make clutter-free!
Hugs, Teddy and Mom Pam
Thank you. Decorating Queen, I like that. 🙂 XO
The decorations bring you enjoyment so you should keep them.
Thank you. I am going to. XO
Decluttering is a brilliant idea. I really need to do more of it but haven’t in a long time. I seem too busy with other things to pay any attention to the junk some days. 🙂
I have been too, but now is the time for me. XO
I’m getting closer to cleaning out the closets.
That is good. 🙂
Rudy is adorable! You put your decorations to good use, so I can’t see a reason why you’d want to get rid of any! Keep enjoying them. xo
Thank you. I will. XO
We have loads of decorations too but no desire to declutter them.
Good. 🙂
My scarf collection has to be tackled; it’s gonna be a huge project!
Keep them all if they bring you joy. 🙂
It’s difficult for me to get rid of or donate holiday decorations because they bring on fond memories. I store them in their own bins so they don’t get crumpled or broken.
Same here. 🙂 XO
Ellen, you don’t have to get rid of your decorations. That’s the luxury of being able to say no and not having to answer to anybody else. Your decorations and decorating for holidays is a true joy for you and others so cross decorations off the list. Glad the Easter Bunny gave Rudy a catnip carrot… he had to love the color!
Thank you. I do get a lot of joy from decorating. XO
It sure is festive at your house ~ sweet photos ~ of sweet kitty and Easter Bunny ~ Xo
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

I agree Ellen and so many holiday decorations have very very fond memories when we put them out each year.

Awww, so adorable. Love it that you love your decorations. We don’t have any decorations anymore. My clutter was Christmas. We had tons of Christmas thing. All gone. I’m okay with that.
I’m sorry I’m so late. Workers showed up this morning to tear out our kitchen for the last part of the remodel and we had no idea they were coming. We worked our behinds off cleaning out all the drawers and cabinets.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week, Ellen. Scritches to all the kitties and a hug to you. ♥
Better late than never. 🙂 I can’t wait to see photos of your kitchen. XO
Yay for Rudy! I have to check out the Happy Organized Life blog. I need to be organized 🙂
She has a lot of tips. 🙂 XO
It’s great that you have a room to store the decorations. Rudy is so cute!
I am lucky. 🙂 Rudy thanks you. XO
A catnip carrot sure sounds yummy!
They like them. 🙂
Adorable photo! I feel the same about my Halloween and Christmas decorations.
Keep them all. 🙂
I think you declutter things that don’t bring you joy and holiday decorations definitely bring joy.
Happy easter.
Visiting from A to Z
Catnip carrots! Wow, the Bunny has really done a great job coming up with that idea.
If you love the items, use them, and have a storage place for them, that’s the stuff you keep.
Thank you. 🙂 XO
Where do catnip carrots grow? #askingforafriend ~Latte
We have special seeds. 🙂 XO
Hope you had a great Easter too dear furriends🐣🥚🐰 We can’t declutter our Holiday stuff either. Each thing has a memory attached to, even if it is broken, we keep it, like a missing ear of a bunny that Granny made of clay with her oldest grandson, when he was about 4 or 5 years. He’s 20 now😸Extra belated Easter Pawkisses to all of you🐾😽💞
Yes, it was beautiful. I have many rabbit items with ears glued back on. XO
I donated all of my holiday decorations to a children’s home last year — they need it more than I do. Besides, my furbabies like to destroy stuff that aren’t regular fixtures.
