You didn't include a web link, but I sense you have a service to offer, and if so (and I don't usually say this) I wouldn't mind hearing about it.

I must confess that I am Prof. Organizer *part-time and I believe I have a special understanding of other peoples "things" because of it. I do agree that certain items can trigger these heartfelt memories of the past for sure...however..there is a limit on how many of these we actually have to keep and what we do keep CAN be neatly organized or labeled so when you want to look at these things from time to time "just because" you will be able to find them. Living simple and clutter free doesn't mean you have to give up everything you love to keep; however there is a healthier more productive and visual way to store it....Best Regards...Carolena-Simple, Organized, Uncluttered Living-carpresto@verizon.net Hi-I am a collector of sentimental items and have about 100 containers full of these sentiments in my cellar and in various small storage spaces in my house which I will be going through again as I am moving.
