Now that I have encouraged you to Eliminate, Eliminate, Eliminate I thought I would show you that I “walk the talk”.
Coming In:
Today I purchased the plants in the photo above. Plants bring so much beauty and life to a home, and I thoroughly enjoy them.
Going Out:
This stack of stuff is leaving the house today– No room for things we are not using.
Have you purged anything this week? Share in the comments. 🙂
Purging my clothes this week…still not done yet but getting there! Have 3 other bags of clothes from the other members of our family…I have one filled so far…did my closets now my drawers are next! Taking them to a donation place when I am finished!
Good job Kathy Lynn! 🙂
Ooooh, I’d take the Lincoln Logs off your hands! 🙂 I have a stack of books to go out too and some toys that we no longer need.
Margaret
Sorry Margaret–I have to give them back to the lady who gave them to us. 🙂
Your plants look pretty!
Thanks Mary Ann. They make me happy. 🙂
Books are one of my biggest clutter items. I love to read and have numerous cookbooks. Not ready to part with the cookbooks yet but I did take 20 paperbacks to my SIL’s hair salon this past week. I’m continuing to work on books this week as our church is having a book sale to help build a faith library for everyone to use.
Now, I just need to begin to use my kindle more including for down loading library books. Would be a HUGE clutter buster!!
We have a lot of books too and it’s hard to get rid of them because I think that we might read them again. Good for you for getting rid of the paperbacks. 🙂
I certainly did. Four large bags of clothing and shoes my family no longer wear. I am donating them to a local thrift store that gives almost all of profit received to a local children’s hospital. My rule of thumb is if I buy something new I must donate something at the same time. Out with the old in with the new! This way it is not such a hassle to purge all at once. I accumulate some here and there and when I get a resonable amount it is donated.
That is a great plan Melissa. It is so much easier to deal with the clutter a little at a time instead of waiting for it to build up.
