I think I'm in. I have a ton of stuff that needs to go. Does it count if it's been in boxes in the garage to BE decluttered, but hasn't actually made it off the property ?

Sorry, Katie, just seeing this. My boxes have been sitting for 19 months. Some of them have been opened and partially decluttered; some of them have been moved and shifted, but *all* of them need to be completely decluttered. I'm just not sure what will happen to dh's boxes of memorabilia. :/

I'm not counting items, but I can report that I got rid of quite a few Christmas ornaments, old candles, pointless house decor, etc. when putting the Christmas stuff away (2 days ago ). I managed to shrink our Christmas storage from three to two bins!

Great challenge.....I don't know if I'll be able to count all the items, but I'm joining here to remind me regularly (as new posts come in) to keep on de-cluttering!

I decided to stop counting. That drives me nuts. However, I have probably 8 bags and boxes ready to donate! So when I get rid of things, I'll just let ya'll know what I got rid of.

another day of shredding. I probably need two more days to get it done. I don't want to break my shredder by putting too much through in a day.

I did that and I really miss my shredder. I want one for the counter top next to the recycling bin.

Got rid of 2 bags of toys/books. So I am going to guess and say about....60 items?

Oh and I have to keep going through and getting rid of stuff. DH gets home in Nov and then we move by March and don't want to spend Nov-March doing it all.
