I continue to put “like things with like” in my de-cluttering efforts. I surprised myself — again — when I discovered I had a lanyard collection.

Lanyard collection

My favorite is the Star Wars lanyard. I bought it at Home Depot.

Up close

The blue bling lanyard is long gone; the sparkly squares fell off one by one. At the office, my meeting room trail could be tracked by the blue sparkles I left behind.

A former lanyard, the bling now all gone

I know I went through a phase when I used a brown shoestring as a lanyard for my office badge. What was I thinking? I don’t know. No photo of that one, fortunately.
