April Clutter Update

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!

    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.

  4. Great job Amy! You are braver than me to have a garage sale! My last one wore me out! Maye one day I will have enough energy to do one again!

    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**

  6. Great job!!!

    Way to go!

  8. I have a HUGE pile for the thrift store in my basement right now…it feels SO good to get rid of clutter!!! We love simplifying our home on a regular basis.

  9. I just want to say how much I appreciate you hosting this. It is so encouraging and motivating to look back over my month’s progress. Thanks again!
