Day 365 - Watch

As we reflect upon the past year, and upon the coming year, we take stock of the time we have spent well, and how we will spend the time to come. We make resolutions and vow to make changes for the better. For the year 2011 I made the determination to get rid of clutter, one day at a time. I did it! All year long, 365 days, I removed items from my home. What a feeling! 


Now today, on the last day of the year I'm getting rid of a watch that no longer works. It's about time.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Day 364 - Stack of Clothes

Wow! I've almost completed my challenge of ridding my home of at least one thing a day for 365 days. Shall I continue for another year? Click onto my blog on January 1st to find out.


More clothes to go today! My daughters cleaned out some clothes from their closets. I'm donating a stack of them, including a hoody, two t-shirts, a tank top, and a skirt. 

Day 363 - Flower Basket

This basket of silk spring flowers is adorable in its own way, but just a little too "cutesie" for me. It is not something I love love love! So I'm going to put it into the donation box. I hope it brightens someone's home. 

Day 362 - Measuring Spoons & Cups

Measuring spoons and cups are being donated today. Some of them are missing and I don't need them anyway. I have plenty of others. 

Day 361 - Wahl Massager

I was keeping this Wahl Therapeutic Massager in a drawer. I haven't used it in ages, so I decided not to keep it any longer. 

Day 360 - Hat

Today the hat goes. Bye bye Mr. Hat!

Day 359 - Magazines

Today on Christmas day I have decided to purge my magazine rack of a few old  magazines. They are two December issues of Martha Stewart "Living" (1995 and 1997), and a 1995 issue of a Better Homes and Gardens publication called "Holiday Decorating". It's fun looking through them since they are now a bit "retro", but of course I really have no need for them. A few days ago I offered them on FreeCycle, but so far have had no takers. They will go into the recycle barrel if no one wants them. Merry Christmas to all!
