Geez, it's been a while.  I have fallen off of the wagon!  I have probably cleared out another 50+ items (conservatively!) over the last 6 weeks or so, but this has been the last week of school and my DD's retiring 1st grade teacher has been decluttering by letting the kids take all kinds of crap educational items home to keep. As the school year has wound down, my girls have been playing 'school' non stop.  This cracks me up. 

On the plus side, we are going to the beach every day and seem to lose a couple of plastic sand toys to the communal pot, so I suppose it is all evening out.

Cheers to summer and ruthless hauling out!

STILL Need to Tackle:

Basement storage shelves...working on it slowly...still!

Outgrown winter gear...I have run out of excuses to not get this done!

Clothes--sort and pare down (x 5 people)...ongoing!

Goals/Motivation/Needs

Dedicated space for home office and sewing/craft studio 

Stop wasting time/energy looking for things

Save $$ by using what we already have

Set better examples of organization for children

More productive in work and leisure activities 

Running Total:  509/2012 & pocketed $89

[Curlyfry7]

More stuff....

24 items given to mama friends
80 items to goodwill
242 items to consignment sale that will be donated if not sold.

(have a few more that will not be donated if not sold but won't count them until I know if they sell)

so 1077 + 346 = 1423. Still at $836.02

This gets me to 70% of the goal so far. Only 589 more things to go. My problem is that it barely looks like I've made a dent yet.

[BeautyFromAshes]

Is it too late to join?!  My husband and I have been discussing lately the need to simplify and declutter.  I know I'll have some major catch-up to do starting this late in the game if I want to meet the goal, but I'm up for the challenge!  I have a box of stuff that I packed up yesterday ready to go.  I'll have to go count how many items are in there.  I've also been trying to de-stash a lot of my hairbows that are left over from craft shows I did last year so selling some of them on facebook has been helping reduce my craft supplies.  I desperately need to tackle my closet and get realistic about what I actually wear.    I'm excited to get started!!

UPDATE: 

Box contains...

- 3 Ikea wall organizers

- set of coasters

- 1 pair of boots

- 6 toys

- 12 shirts

- 1 rug

- 1 children's plastic picnic table (obviously too big to fit into a box)

Total so far:  25/2012 

Boy, do I have a ways to go.

Never too late to join :) I've seen several people take way less than a year to get to 2012 things. Plus it's not about getting 2012 out of your house, it's more about using that as goal to stay motivated and just make progress on your home :)

[BeautyFromAshes]

Did some more de-cluttering today.  Here's what I have....

Donating:

- 4 kitchen canisters

- breadbox

- toaster oven

- floral wreath

- diaper bag

- fetal monitor

- nursing cape

- baby bedding

- 2 books

- 1 box of office filing supplies

- 16 pieces of clothing

Giving away:

- massaging backrest

- 2 crib sheets

- 1 baby blanket

- 5 hair bows

New total:  63/2012

Not much, but it's progress!!
