I just took another full van load out to the thrift store. Had to have been at least 500 items. Then I gave a neighbor our old huge fake tree. I have a box for Goodwill. I'd be surprised if we didn't already do 2012, sooooo I'm going to declutter the task of counting my donations! LOL!! And I'll keep getting rid of things. smile.gif

I am purging papers this weekend. I have a HUGE problem with keeping papers - thinking that I need all of them or will look at them again.

So for every 10 pieces of paper I recycle or shred = 1 item in my tally.

 

Cleaned one small stack on my desk - 100+ pieces of paper recycled so 10 items for my 2012 tally

1053 +34= 1087

Took 4 bags to the thrift store drop off. I didn't count the items (mostly clothes and books) but I am going to guess about 40 things. 

 

1087 + 40 = 1487

 

ETA (a couple weeks later): 

 

11 baby items to pregnant relative

1 toy that had been sitting in a big box in my closet for a long time

 

1487 + 12= 1499

 

About 20 cards and pictures tossed, plus an old dinted tin.

104 items to GW
10 baby hairclips to friend
1 DVD donated
3 snappis given to friend
7 old diapers donated
1 dvd given to friend
12 items baby clothes donated
8 items my clothing given to friend

146 + 1882 = 2028!!! I did it!!!!

The truly daunting thing is how much more there still is to declutter even after getting rid of this much stuff!! I am already eying stuff for next year's challenge....(no more time this year most likely to really get rid of anything more)

OK, back to wrapping gifts.......
