DECLUTTER CHALLENGE: 2009 items in 2009! - Page 12

Maggirayne · 03-26-2009, 07:51 PM

Hey, anything is a start! I had a great month Feb, and have been super-tired this month. So kinda fizzled. But I got rid of a lot of stuff I wouldn't have otherwise! Woohoo!
and I sold some stuff, can I say I've gotten about $60 for stuff I was just going to take to the thrift store?! Yay!

So maybe next week I'll get inspired again.
