A friend of mine is helping my youngest daughter with her room. My dd
generally keeps
just about everything and her stuff has become  too much for her. This is the
project my
friend gave her.  She asked her first to write about her room.  Next she is
to pack up
*everything* in her room into boxes.  As she does this she can also throw
things away
and give away. While packing up her things my friend asked her to think about
keeping
only the things that are worthy of her.

After she gets it all boxed she is to redesign her room - to create it the
way she would
like it to be.  The final step is to write something about her new room.

My 11 year old has been working on it some each day for over a week now.
She has lots of boxes packed and labeled. I think we will be putting alot of
stuff in the
attic which is a step - she can still keep the things she wants, but have a
clearer room.

She seems to be enjoying the project and is thoughtful about what she is
doing.
I can't wait to see the finished product.
