50 items by Friday? Anyone want to join me? - Page 2

post #21 of 30

Didn't get anything done today since my youngest needed me then I had to go pick up our new car. We offically had a car big enough for all of us!! I think that is better honestly!! Tomorrow Im cleaning and sewing so Im sure to get some stuff done there.

I think I made the goal! I had an entire bag of clothing, a few blankets, tons of picture frames, craft supplies, household knickknacks, and some other things I dropped off at the thrift store--an entire trunk full. 

 

Counting recycling we haven't taken out since before Christmas (just sitting on the counter 2whistle.gif) there are at least 20 items right there. 

 

I've also started processing and preparing clothes and items for a huge consignment sale coming up in January here. They have a special place in the closet and are already hanging by size and type ready for tagging. On the ball this time!

So yesterday I filled up another bag from the girls closet! I now have a big space on top of the clothing shelf to store my clean towels! I am going back in there today to put all of the laundry away and I know that I have a few baskets stored in the shelf with odds and ends that I might be able to part with.

 

Today though my main focas is getting my house clean because we are having company over on NYE and NYD ;)

 

Be back later with a progress update!!

Well, I didn't get the rest done. My cold has gotten worse and I was glad DH was home to help with baby so I could rest some! But, I'm doing the 2011 in 2011 so I have plenty of time and motivation to get stuff out!

I'm posting todaay, but finished yesterday. I got in my kitchen and tossed mountains on mismatched typefaces, that I don't even use anymore since I moved to glass. I also got rid of chewed up sippy cups, holiday treat containers, an old non working crock pot, and yucky drinking glasses that are plastic. I rewarded myself with a set of matching glass glasses that look pretty and neat when I open my cabinet.

97 items decluttered in all! Now on to the 2011 thread.

I have been working slowly on this and I am sure I made the goal.  I am taking a bunch of children's books, toys, games, some clothes, some craft stuff, and a few of my books to the thrift store.  That was just from DS's room and the family room in the basement.  I am hoping to get lots more done over the next few days and weeks.  Would love to declutter my whole house again.  Just love when I feel less stressed about stuff.
