I'll be busy this coming weekend, but between the kitchen (glasses, coasters, and pans) and the craft pile (old project remnants), I managed to find double the items to get rid of. After discovering some likely-expired lipstick this weekend, the bathroom drawers may be next.

Somehow with the junk drawer begging to be sorted, I found myself going through a box of china cabinet knickknacks I'd inherited and discovering that I still possessed Holly Hobbie porcelain figures. Now the decision of attempting to (have someone) sell them on eBay or simply Goodwilling them.

Between last week and this week I cleaned out some old food items from the kitchen cabinets (yeah, that tube of cake icing was pretty much hard as a rock after 2 years), cleared some stacks of paper from my bedroom, and gave away some homemade melt-and-pour soap. This was one of those crafts I thought I might take up, so last month I'd actually ( Read more... )

Sheesh, I'm going to end up calling this the "Tuesday 7". Anyway, a big bag of used clothing and various linens and sheets made its way to Goodwill. In my sights for upcoming weeks are the Kitchen Junk Drawer and the Box of Stuff to be Shredded.

Still on track, just late due to a busy weekend. I've got a bag of shoes to drop off at Goodwill, and a bag of fannish items (t-shirt and boxes of HP/SW/LotR valentines) to donate to a charity auction.

Never mind that I haven't gone through that stack in over ( Read more... )

While there are still places that could stand a good combing through, the office and the main floor have been decluttered to the point that I think it's time for ( Read more... )

I posted in my own LJ, but not here. I've completed the Sunday Seven - well, it would have been January 8 to have a full year, but things have gotten a bit frantic around here. However, I've made a huge enough dent to consider it "done ( Read more... )

I thought I wouldn't be able to find anything to get rid of this week because I wasn't really trying... and yet I did. I found and tossed makeup, and I realized as we put up our tree that I would never trust the old extension cords I inherited and tossed them too ( Read more... )
