Week 4 - 15 in 15 in 15
Comments (12)This past week I got rid of more books, some baskets that I don't use, placemats and napkins that I don't use, and a bunch of softballs and baseballs (went to the "Free Stuff" table). 5 plastic bags full of dried out highlighters and pens (to the trash). 3 boxes of recycled junk mail and catalogs. Six more rolls of architectural prints and some cardboard boxes (those are now mulch in the garden - hopefully they will slow down the weeds). Hopefully this week my neighbor will be available to take a pickup load of no longer working electronics to the recycling center. Right now they are piled in the middle of the living room....See MoreWeek 6 - 15 in 15 in 15
Comments (12)I did pretty well last week (Week 5 - I never know whether to post on that one or this new one). Cleaned out the linen closet and took a huge box of towels and sheets to my vet's office Saturday. Plus a few self-warming cat/dog blankets. Those are great, as they reflect the animal's body heat - snuggly warm with no electricity required. Took one pickup truck load of old electronics to recycling. Have another load ready to go - maybe later this week, I'll get a friend with a truck to help me load up and git it gone. Decided the porch umbrella was waaaay past repair, so it's in the trash for pickup. Sent my lawn tractor and Gator off to be serviced. Now that I have a temporarily empty spot in the shed for two weeks until the equipment comes back, I set up some tables on sawhorses, and started sorting DH's tools. A friend lost everything in a house fire the day after DH died (he, his wife, and two kids got out with their pajamas and literally nothing else - even their cars melted in the garage). He would love some of the extra tools and I'd like to be able to find the ones I have! Plus some other kitchen things for their new house when that is rebuilt. Won't be for a while, but that's OK, I'll box them up for him. Still a long way to go, but a little bit every week helps a lot. It's not so overwhelming :-)...See MoreWeek 8 - 15 in 15 in 15
Comments (8)Yes satine. 15 items per week in 15 weeks in 2015. You can still join in. It's easy to come up with more than 15 things a week so you can easily catch up. You can donate, throw away, give away or sell, just 15 items gone from your house. Because today and Thursday are my only free days this week I finished early. I went to a closet upstairs and now have 15+ items to donate. Next week I will get my husband to move a large boxed Christmas tree and can get more from the same closet. I am so happy my sons won't have to fool with my junk....See MoreWeek 9 - 15 in 15 in 15
Comments (10)I'm still here. I emptied two drawers in my TV cabinet yesterday but haven't yet parted ways with everything in them. I had a box with unused HS graduation announcements from my son who graduated almost 20 years ago. Not sure what I'm going to work on this week. I should get into my bins of fabric. I enjoy making quilts, and I have fabric that isn't cotton that I should get rid of. Also, small pieces of batting saved from other projects that I'll probably never use. Our newspaper had an article yesterday about Marie Kondo's book and method of decluttering. Interesting take on why we have so much stuff. http://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/sc-fam-0616-deciphering-declutter-20150609-story.html#page=1 Those of us whose parents grew up in the depression might have an insight about why we never throw anything out. (It cost $$ and we might need it someday.) Marcia...See More- 11 years ago
