Days 6 through 15: Ten Days of Clutter

These are the things that I've gotten rid of in the last ten days:


Day 6 - Friday January 6, 2012  
A long over-shirt that I rarely ever wear

Day 7 - Saturday January 7, 2012  
An American Girl Craft Kit my daughter grew out of a long time ago

Day 8 - Sunday January 8, 2012  
Socks. Lots of socks!

A crock pot and tea kettle that I returned to my son

Day 11 - Wednesday January 11, 2012
Planners from the past two years

Day 12 - Thursday January 12, 2012
Ski overalls. I can't for the life of me remember when these were last worn.

Day 13 - Friday January 13, 2012
Hair pick

Day 14 - Saturday January 14, 2012
A couple of things that needed to be returned to the store but never were: a dress bag and a sink stopper

Day 15 - Today! Sunday January 15, 2012
Hangers

Day 5 - Calendar

What can a person do with a calendar from a previous year? Throw it away! I ended up with two of these in 2011, and this one was never opened. 

Day 4 - Wallet

As we are still in the first week of the new year, many are making resolutions for 2012. One popular goal is to get out of debt, or at least curb spending and get it under control. In honor of this thought, today I am decluttering an old wallet.

Day 3 - Nail Polish Kit

I grabbed this French Manicure Set from the medicine cabinet to throw into the trash. It has gotten too old and gunky to use anymore.

Day 2 - Paper

The new year brings plans of organizing. This time of year stores offer sales on file cabinets, storage boxes, and other things for organizing your desks, drawers, and closets. Today I went through much of my paper clutter trying to tame the mess, shredded it, and dumped it into the recycle barrel.

This is only a small  part of what was shredded!

Two bags of shredded paper!

Day 1 - Workout Videos on VHS

Yes! I have decided to continue blogging my journey of decluttering my home for a second year. I may not post every single day in 2012, but the items will keep being booted. I hope that this has been encouraging. I'm keeping on!


New Year's Day brings on the resolutions to lose weight and get fit after all the holiday feasting. With that in mind, today I am getting rid of several workout videos on VHS from the 80s and 90s.

Happy 2012, everybody!
