Grover · 08-30-2009, 03:25 AM

2 more DVD boxes- Im so pleased we have started storing DVD' s in a CD storage wallet- it takes up a lot less room and it is easier to find the DVD you want - not to mention the kids never put the DVD's away before and if they did it was in the wrong case.
4 Pieces of art work
Stanleys Potty learning sticker chart
two sets of felt tip pens from MIL [ the ones that stain;-[ ]

Total down 1787 - 222 to go

This thread has become all about me ME ME- sorry
I am probaly going to have to subtract the bag I put out for the charity collection- as they never collected it
One water powered clock- gone sadly wrong -cant keep time anymore- Gone

Grover · 09-07-2009, 07:20 AM

30 items taken back off my doorstep.It really irritates me when the charity drop off plastic bags to fill at every house and then never bother to collect the donations they asked for ....
So in theory I am up 30 but I cleared out the craft closet so Im at the same score

Grover · 09-10-2009, 10:54 AM

Birthday cards,packaging all decluttered[im normally terrible at saving these for future craftprojects /wrapping but then forgetting that I have them or where they are.
