I'm in. I was no where near the 2010 in 2010 goal, but it did make some progress last year. I still haven't moved all my stuff from my parents house from my move last July. Mostly because I'm waiting on some storage units to be built and all the stuff there is in a storage pod while my parents are remodeling their house.

I still have plenty of stuff to go through at my house though.

Mental note: 2011/365 = 5.5 items per day, 11 items every other day, 35.5 per week, and 165 items per month.

I'm joining also. I completed the 2010 in 2010 with a few weeks to go, so I started counting on the 20th or 21st. I'm going from 12/20 to 12/20. I'll post my list in a bit, but I have to get some laundry completed today.

Count me in for this challenge!  I announced last night at our New Year's Eve party that I was taking on a "2011 items in 2011" decluttering challenge as my New Year's Resolution, and my husband got all upset 'cause he assumed that I was going to be getting rid of 2000 of HIS things and 11 of mine. :)  Can you tell which of us is the hoarder??? 

[coyotemist]

trashed-1 set of rubber clog decorations...nobody in this house wears rubber clogs in the first place!

[FrugalGranolaMom]

I'm in! The holidays gave me an excuse to slack off on my 150 before Christmas, but it's new year and time for a fresh start. Just got back from my parents' house where we had Christmas #2 so I am currently going through all of DS' clothes and toys. Will be back later to post!
