Scott – thank you so very much for the excellent job that you did in our home! Your coverage of our belongings was thorough and very detailed. My husband and I were particularly impressed with your professionalism and the manner in which you conduct yourself and your business. You turned what might have otherwise felt like an invasive process into an experience that we deemed quite pleasant and extremely necessary. In light of the recent stories in the news regarding all of the homes that were lost in the fires, we realize the importance of your services and would encourage everyone to take the time to meet with you. We believe that your company ultimately provided us with much more than a folder documenting all of our personal belongings, but rather, you gave us something that is truly invaluable – peace of mind!!

Sincerely,
Nicki

The recent willdfires here in Colorado emphasize the importance of completing, or at least starting, a home inventory. Contact us today to schedule your inventory!

It looks like someone else already started on my idea and they’re doing a better job at it than I could. If you’re interested in finding good collector resources in Colorado, check out the Colorado Collectors Network Facebook Page.

If you can buy it, there’s a collectors group for you. Collecting is about community. Buying, selling, trading and showing off your collection is what makes it fun.

Just one tip this week: If you’re buying your “collection” online, storing it in boxes in your garage and not interacting with anyone else, that’s called hoarding. Before you become a star on A&E I know someone who can help you with your clutter.

Have a great weekend!

A Media or Collection Inventory will allow you to better protect and manage your collections so for this month Blue Spruce Inventory is offering a 25% discount on our Media and Collection Inventories.

A Media Inventory will catalog your book, movie, music, comic book or game collections regardless of their format and comes with a trial version of the Collectorz* software used to create your inventory.

A Collection Inventory includes completely customized reports to accurately track the condition, location and details of your collection no matter what it is!

*25% discount does not apply to Collectorz software

• Auto.
  Each time you come home, take in an armful of items from your car. Getting into a clean car is such a great feeling!
• Bathroom.
  Make a pledge to use up your current inventory of lotions, hair care, and other personal products before buying more. If you’re really honest and don’t see yourself using them, toss them out!
• Bills.
  You can’t afford to keep paying bills late. Sign up for auto-pay on recurring bills and cancel paper statements. Assign one collection point for non-recurring bills and select one day each month to pay those bills.
• Clothing.
  If someone held all your clothing hostage and you had to pay a ransom for each item you wanted back, which pieces would you pay for? Those are the clothes you love. Donate the others.
• Clutter.
  Have 3 boxes: donate, elsewhere, and trash. Start in one room, working clockwise. Items that you find that belong in another room go in the ‘elsewhere’ box. Items you don’t need go in ‘donate.’ Work for 20 minutes each day and then put things from the elsewhere box in the appropriate rooms.
• Décor.
  Minimize cleaning time by minimizing your décor. Donate items that are no longer interesting to you and that feel outdated or tired-looking.
• Kitchen.
  The locale for everything “gadgety”. Thin out specialty tools that rarely get used. Store them elsewhere in a seasonal or entertaining area or let them go.
• Meals.
  Take the frustration out of meal planning. Subscribe to online meal-planning sites such as www.e-mealz.com, www.foodonthetable.com, or www.myweeklyfig.com.
• Papers.
  Perhaps the most overwhelming of all. Imagine being paperless, how good that would feel! Start by going paper-less. Cancel magazine & catalog subscriptions (call the 800# inside, it only takes 2 minutes!) and junkmail (www.donotmail.org).
• Schedules.
  Plan out your week or month in advance. Mark down work commitments and personal time. What tasks, errands, appointments and events are you going to do? Kindly say no to events that would require you to over-commit yourself. Simply say, “I’d love to, but I already have commitments that day.”
• Toys.
  Too many toys in the room? Put some aside and rotate toys every few weeks to keep things fresh for the kids. They’ll ask for their favorites. Are there toys they never seem to miss or they’ve outgrown? You guessed it, donate or toss them!
• Travel
  Make a standard checklist of all items you need when you travel. Include personal items, electronic accessories, documents (i.e. maps, passports, phone numbers), clothing, snacks, etc. Leave blanks in each category for things to add for each specific trip. Print off a form each time you travel or laminate and use a dry-erase marker to check items off as you pack.check items off as you pack.

A big thanks to Mandy Pinkston and Angela Cody-Rouget for the tips! If you need help getting organized contact Major Mom by phone: 303-991-5478, by email: Liberators@MajorMom.biz or check out their website at www.MajorMom.biz
