I just wanted to share some success I had today on de-cluttering. Today I have cleared from my home (through the magic of Freecycle)
4 formal dresses
a bag of maternity clothes
several large stuffed animals
5 tea kettles
a box of mismatched glassware & other household items
an old karaoke machine
about 20 books & 20 magazines
Anyone else on a nice purging spree??
@ Jo W - actually I had 7 tea kettles--kept 2 (the other 5 were my MIL and SIL's, but they all moved out of a few years ago and left almost all of their junk here)
@ S.H. - I rewarded myself with a haircut and brow threading
@ the Texas ladies - sure, please book my tickets for mid-January when it is 10' below zero up here ;-)
I am.. it's depressing me, I feel so overwhelmed. But congrats to you, great job! Fly here to Texas and do it for me?
Awesome! I know that feels so good.
While you are in Texas come on down here to Austin!
HIGH-Five!
Go reward yourself now!
I did that yesterday too.
Yahoo.
I need to be!!! Good for you! Liberating isn't it? :) Have a great weekend.
I love throwing things away or donating/giving them away. Kudos to you! I think I'm going to go purge all those baby cups/plates we never use and just sort of work around. Thanks for the inspiration!
Congrats! I love it when I manage to get rid of a bunch of stuff!
Oh my gosh could you come over to my house?
That is fantastic!
I've been cleaning up our basement and so far, just recycling things I can. Most of it is garbage, unfortunately.
awesome, i too am a freecycling momma!!!! it's so easy. happy freecycling!!
Yes you may brag! That is fantastic. I so want to declutter-it is on my project list. now that all 3 kids in school all day... I may get to that list :)
I gave my neighbor a huge stack of fabric yesterday. She wants to make school clothes for her kids and I told her to "shop" my house first and she did!! I have way more fabric than I will ever need/use, and it was nice to see a pile of it go away and I know she will actually use it! Its a drop in the bucket of what I have, but it made me feel good to clean out that little bit. I love when I bag up a bunch of stuff and take it to the mission and let someone else use it.
That is awesome!! I wish I could do that!!
Must be something in the air!! Last night I filled 2 bags with books I know longer want and gave them away to someone who is raising money for charity, then I threw out the chair in my bedroom that has been bugging me for ages, ITS GONE and I have so much more room. Bagged up all my dd's clothes that don't fit and gave them to my niece. I love de-cluttering. This was after a zumba class so i must have been full of energy.
Why exactly did you have five tea kettles? I like tea, I guess not that much, I only have one. :p
I get rid of stuff daily, I don't like clutter. Right now I am avoiding my house but I think that run has met its end since it is the weekend. :(
