2012 - Decluttering challenge 2012 items in 2012.

[jkeating]

Did really good today. Had 2 huge plastic containers filled with papers. Some got filed but a lot of it got tossed into the recycle bucket. Also got rid of some purses, clothes hangers and some clothing.

Dropped of 2 huge bags to Salvation Army last week. Since I wear jeans to work every day and my old work clothes didn't fit I emptied my entire closet and also filled another bag of purses I've not used in over a year.

Got to get back into de-cluttering because I've got so much more to go through.

Cleaned out basement to get it ready to have it finished. Cleaned out garage and moved stuff around to make room for stuff from basement that we are keeping. End result: 4 bags of items to Goodwill (~50 items) and a recycle bin and trash bin full and ready for pickup tomorrow :)

Okay, so its been a busy month. I was able to hand down 28 books to my cousin. And I have cleaned out and thrown out a bunch of things I should have thrown out some time ago. I also took over 150 items to Goodwill last week. So all in all, I have gotten rid of 636 items total for January.

I am proud of myself. I went through makeup and some other bathroom stuff. I know I've had all my open makeup way past the time they are good for once opened, so I threw at least 15 items away and only put replacement items back in if I knew I would use them. There are several new things of makeup that will get offered on here later on and/or go into my spring yard sale.
This weekend I think I'm going to tackle scrapbook stuff. I have NEVER even made 1 page and I have all this stuff, so I'm having to come to the realization that I won't. I'm fine with putting the pictures in well marked photo albums for me to enjoy.

ffa I pulled out all of my scrapbook stuff last weekend, sorted through a bunch that I've never used or probably wouldn't use and put it for sale on a local Facebook group for selling stuff. People were practically fighting over my stuff and I priced it pretty aggressively. I made $225 just in what I sold last weekend. Unfortunately, I still have a ton that I may or may not use. I still have all the boxes pulled out in my spare bedroom. I need to repack them and get them back in the closet, at least. I need to update my totals from what I got rid of last weekend. I also sold a coffeemaker and gave away a chair. I also went through my candy/snack bin and trashed a ton of stuff. I guess I'll count the scrapbook stuff my box cuz otherwise I'd be at my 2012 if I counted by piece.

Over 150 books gone today (the guy who DH is selling them to is going to do a exact count. Got a few more things out of the garage yesterday and swept up a ton of leaves. This moving stuff is a long dejunking process.

Well this weekend, I cleaned out under my kitchen sink and got rid of at least 6 items there. I also filed away my bills and receipts and am working on shredding the old ones so no telling how many there. I'm in the process of creating boxes of other items to be either donated, sold online, or go into a yard sale (which may become a moving sale, we'll see).
