Okay, Rachel, I think I can do this! I already have a big stack of clothing/miscellaneous stuff headed to Goodwill. Love it!

Oh my, you’ve inspired me again!! I’m going to tell my momma about the de-clutter challenge….hmmm…there’s 10 of us in the house, so I think we can easily handle 2 things per day;)

Thank you for the encouragement – I look forward to a simple way of decluttering.

I got rid of a bunch of patterns before we moved. They were all for baby/toddler things and I don’t know why I still had them. I also got rid of some fabric and I found that much harder to get rid of.

You’re off to a great start.

I am a tosser and January is one of my big decluttering months. My rule is if I have not used it, worn it, or needed it in the last six months out it goes. The only exception to that rule is things like family heirlooms or my good china/crystal which aren’t used every day (after my DH decided to microwave one of my crystal plates and one of my china coffee cups [with gold trim!])

My decluttering regime starts tomorrow with the dining room. I’m finding it VERY hard to give up my Princess House crystal punch bowl set. I haven’t used it in 12 years but I know as soon as I get rid of it I’ll want it for some event.

I was given a lot of fabric last year & really have too much! The pieces I’ve purchased though, I’m more attached to!

Now see, I can’t handle giving up fabric, etc. That’s one area that almost makes me cry to even think about parting with any of my pretties! LOL! Great job this month-keep it up!
