I am! I am amazed at the amount of "stuff" that I have in this place and I need to get rid of it all! I need to be well organized and clutter free so I can think and function better. At the moment it's crazy b/c I took all my "stuff" out of the closet and it's all over the place and my hallway is filled with my donations!
I'm doing really well so far!!!!
:
I 'd put stuff aside that I was going to give a friend or maybe sell,but that just went into the donation box. My friend has a lot of stuff all ready and her kids will be getting even more stuff soon enough. I won't sell anything! I know I'll place the ad on craigslist but people will take forever to come and buy it.
Here's a small list of things I've done so far to get organized.
-made a little collage with my stamps to hang
-put photos in 2 frames that have been sitting in a box for 2 years
-cut up some pj bottoms for rags
-put an old beat up folding chair outside my door,to be used when putting boots on or may be tossed on garbage day (not sure yet)
-went through closet and dresser and added to the donation bag
-had to get a box for donations
Added to donation bag/box
-knife I never,ever use and never,ever will
-a teddy bear and Curious George that just isn't special to me anymore
-picture frames
-deck of cards used once by roommate for a Halloween game
-book on childcare I didn't read much of and know I won't
-an old purse I don't feel is special enough for my collection
-a bag of purses (NEW) that I won't use (had them for about 3 years)
-some material and old shirt I bought for a project I'll never make and don't want to now anyway
-an old wrap skirt
-a bedspread bought just over 10 years ago that was used twice to hang on the wall
-new blinds a former roommate had tossed in the trash and I dug out
-3 plastic water bottles that I used once
There is more stuff but I can't remember all of it now!
I also went over a few "bathroom" items and will do it again later. I have tons of body lotion and all kinds of bubble bath and stuff. Some brand new and some used a little,but I don't know what to do with it. I guess see if friends want it or offer it on CL for free.
This feels so good! I'm really able to let go of a lot of stuff. More then I was able to before. I'd hold onto things that had some kind of sentimental value to me or things I thought I'd need. Not sure what changed,but I'm so glad I'm able to put more and more in that donations box!
My goal is to be organized and clutter free before Christmas and the New Year. Anyone doing this type of challenge?

I was going to hold off until after Christmas, but I already feel like the clutter is encroaching, especially in DS’ room. Yesterday I went through all his toys in his room and in the living room downstairs. I filled a box with stuff to donate. I also found an unopened box of wooden blocks in DS’s closet - he received 4 boxes of blocks for his 1st birthday over a year ago. He plays with two of the packages of blocks, I already re-gifted one, and now I will donate this last one to toys for tots. I also have a couple more toys earmarked for donation, but because the Ils will be here over Christmas and I don’t want them asking where X went, I’ll keep these things till they come and then I’ll donate them 
:. I suspect I will have even more to donate *after* Christmas.
