DECLUTTER CHALLENGE: 2009 items in 2009!
 

How it works: When you declutter something - whether it's just one item or a whole closet-worth of junk - come to this thread & make a new post to tell us what you got rid of (as specific or unspecific as you'd like) and keep a running total of how many things you've tossed, donated, sold or freecycled this year :D

The overall goal is 2009 items but if you want to make a goal that's larger or smaller than that - or even if you don't want to keep count & just want to laugh at the crazy things we've been keeping in our kitchen cupboards - that's fine, you can play along too! :heart

When you reach your goal, you get your name here, for everyone to see...




Ready, Set, Declutter!!! :cheer

I'm in!!! But I am not counting items this year, I just want "company" and congratulations for the work I do. :)

Major goals: garage & basement storage area, both of which need to wait for warmer weather. Lots of smaller in the house areas I can work on however. :)

I'm in!!! :woohoo I might just be listing items and areas too, since I tend to lose track and like to just toss without counting it. ;)

Major areas: basement storage and all those boxes that haven't been opened since our move. :O

Tracey, you gotta tell me, how long has it been for those "boxes that haven't been opened since our move" ??? Mine have been sitting in the basement for 3.5 years :shifty


Anyway, I got this in my email this morning & wanted to share it - it's so appropriate for starting this today :D

My count:
2 sweaters into my Donation Station box (which is full & needs to be taken to the SVdP store)

I'm in! We're still on Christmas vacation visiting my parents, though, so I can't start until next week.
First thing on my list is the corner cabinet in the kitchen. It's so scary I don't even open it. :jawdrop

I'm in again...LOL...I have a lot downstairs. This should motivate me to get it out of here and donated!

I'm in, just not today... my poor achy head.

Re: DECLUTTER CHALLENGE: 2009 items in 2009!
 

I'm in! :yes

I'm a little :ph this morning because I had planned on taking boxes to the thrift store today, but those boxes were stored in our now flooded crawl space. :/ I'm wondering if it's worth the effort to rewash some of the items or just trash them.

Last night I did give a large shopping bag full of outgrown girl clothes to my SIL. :tu
