You must all be sick of my de-cluttering questions by now & please feel free to tell me so I do however have what I hope will be my last question on de-cluttering for quite a while. Any way, I have 4 decorative dolls that my dad brought back from Malaysia when he was in the navy (the dolls are roughly 30 years old)...2 are still in the plastic & the other 2 aren't...they were always on display when I was a child...I have never had the room to display them since I inherited them when my mom passed away & my dad & step mom don't want the dolls so they are sitting in boxes waiting for me to either do something with them or have the room to display them. What would you do with the dolls? Please keep in mind that they are about 1ft tall.

I'm not sure when my dad got them but I know they are at least that old...maybe I will keep them now.

I like the idea of a clock made from a tractor trailer! That would be neat.

Hmm, that's a difficult one. I'm having a big clear out just now and luckily am only coming across things that I will throw away or keep to be used. I don't really like ornaments or anything, so luckily I have nothing like that to have to worry about. Do you definitely want to keep the dolls or would you think about rehoming them? If they have sentimental value and you don't want to get rid of them then I'd just keep them in the boxes, maybe one day you can pass them on to your children.

I never really thought about passing them onto my daughter...I'm not ure if I want to keep them or not...I guess I am holding onto them because I've groen up looking at them.
