Feng Shui Clutter Clearing Day 127 - Agatha Christie Audio Cassette

The spine on this well performed audiobook looks like a tiny book.

It was a pain to make the old audio cassettes digital but I'm glad I did it. I didn't bother with music since CDs have better sound.

Feng Shui Clutter Clearing Day 117 - Green Spun Tinsel

Dept 56 makes wonderful retro decorations. I bought this to use on vintage style Christmas decorations.

I need a 12 step program for holiday decorations since I also bought this in red, purple, gold and silver.

Feng Shui Clutter Clearing Day 112 - Wire Fish Shaped Roaster For Campfires

You open the handles to insert the fish you want to roast over an open flame. I loved the sculptural look of this cookware but it's been propped in the cabin's kitchen window for 15 years.

Feng Shui Clutter Clearing Day 110 - Waterproof Digital Camera That Isn't

This is my third Olympus Stylus 850 SW waterproof camera. I must be a little slow since number 4 is in my purse.

I took it to the pool and water has permanently clouded the lens. The second version suffered the same fate under different circumstances. The original version refused to close the shutter after a month.

I take number 4 on boats and other places where I don't want to risk my SLR; but I don't actually submerge it. I have real underwater camera that works well but is much larger so I had high hopes for this one. Perhaps the next generation will be better.

Feng Shui Clutter Clearing Day 108 - Recycled Cardboard Business Card Holders

I went a little nuts making these simple card holders over a year ago and stored them, unused, in a cubbie. I think the statute of limitations for recycled cereal boxes has been reached.

Feng Shui Clutter Clearing Day 107 - Dancing Elf Toy

I have no idea what you call these toys; there is a button under the base and it makes the figure dance in place. I used these one year as decorations at Christmas dinner, intending for everyone to bring them home with them. They remained with the leftovers and dirty dishes.

Feng Shui Clutter Clearing Day 105 - Weird Face Scrubbing Brush

Someone gave this to me since they had no use for it. I thought  I would try using it to texture paint on a canvas but decided it wouldn't work. Some clutter falls into the maybe someday I'll find a use for it catagory.

Feng Shui Clutter Clearing Day 104 - Golf Goodies

I used to be an insurance agent so owning golf clubs was a requirement. I like driving the cart and the walk is nice but I'd rather play mini golf. 

I'm concerned something may have moved into my golf bag since it's been hanging in the garage since 2004. One of these days I'll shake it out and put the golf clubs on Craig's List.
