by Amy on May 2, 2010

Whew! Garage sale – check. Lots of clutter gone – check. More clutter to wade through – check.

Yes, her shoes are on the wrong feet.

Here’s my tally for April:

18 maternity items to the consignment store (I’ve collected quite a few items over the years, and will never wear all of them.)
7 cookbooks
12 candles
97 other random items (When I was unloading at my sister’s place, her comment was “Wow, you have lots of random stuff.” Yes… yes, I do!)

April Total: 134

2010 Total: 289

I’m still a little ahead, which is good, but now I need to find some motivation to keep plugging! I believe I’ll work on my scrapbooking stuff from my Creative Memories Consultant days next. Ebay, here I come!

How did you do in April? Still getting rid of stuff? Link up so we can cheer you on!

This is my first month to participate. It was sort of pointless to participate before and put zero, nothing, zilch, nada for three months in a row. I would raise my goal, but I don’t know by how much. I’m definitely going over.

Thanks for the update! This past month was a good one…I’m trying to keep my momentum going.

317 things out of here in April. I donated lots of cds, books and vhs movies to the library for their annual book fair fundraiser. I also donated lots of outgrown clothes to our school district’s Sharing Closet that helps families in need in our district. This brings my total for the year to 1,209!!! I’m still fairly motivated to keep decluttering and, sad to say, that is still needed in this house. Now if I could get packrat hubby to help declutter the garage **sigh**
