Starting with books.
15 apple boxes full of books have made their way off the shelves so far... 5 for storage, 4 for the church garage sale, 3 for used book stores, and 3 boxes of homeschool books to sell to younger families.
I know I'll miss some of these books. I'll hunt for them and won't be able to find them. But then, I've been doing that already. It seems when there's a book I really need to lay my hands on, it's gone into permanent hiding. At least now I can blame my purge instead of my memory loss.

Fifteen apple boxes? Did we have a "crate and cartons" miracle? (I only remember bringing three.) Actually, I am both admiring what you are doing and envying the minimalist outcome. I'm afraid my probem is that I'm so parsimonious I would want to recover the monitory value I place on each and every book, and that would defeat the entire project. I'm proud of you.
A little tip from your photographer brother....
I suggest you take a photo of the contents of each box, then name the file "donation_to_church." When you're looking for that book, or doing taxes, you'll have a photo record to refer back to.
