December 11, 2007 - Uncluttering, so satisfying!

I had gone through part of the garage, leftover garage sale remnants from our mission trip garage sale.  Much of the stuff wasn't even mine and no one wanted their stuff back... so I went through it...sorted it out.  I also went through some Christmas stuff and had some bags of clothes that have been decided that no one is wearing.   I posted my first declutter post on freecycle last week.  I have takers on all of my first postings!!

So far I have gotten rid of:  2 boxes of Christmas decor, 4 bags of girls clothes, a smore maker, two lamps, 3 boxes of kitchen items (dishes, glasses, bakeware, jello tins, etc.), 3 boxes of home decor items and a box of stuffed animals.  Tomorrow a box of mugs plan to leave as well.  I actually added more mugs to the box once I found out this person's church uses them for welcome gifts with hot chocolate or tea.  Yea me!  LOL 

I just posted a second posting on freecycle as well tonight.  We'll see how much more gets taken this coming week. 

Warmly, ~Melissa

That is awesome! We're decluttering too and it feels so much better. I realized how many dolls does one of my girls need? I realized this while reading little house on the prairie and Laura was so happy with her little cornhusk doll. So I went through their rooms in one big sweep and decluttered 2 big paper sacks of just toys, and half a trash bag of just trash and junk, then I did the same in my sons room. I thought they'd be upset by everything missing, but I honestly don't think they noticed anything except for how nice they're rooms looked. Good luck on your decluttering!~
