And you made money. Yay! I’m hoping to do that, too, when I get around to listing all of my Creative Memories scrapbooking stuff.

This is great that you are dealing with clutter BEFORE the baby comes. I’ve been starting to list unwanted items on craigslist again and love, love, love the combination of clutter going away with money coming in!

I just came across a huge stash of polar fleece fabric today that I decided to sell on craigslist. Those crafters are everywhere, so I’m sure I’ll have no problem selling it.

Thanks for the inspiration!

It can become a bit of an obsession when you start selling things and making a little money from your junk!! Good luck selling your mandolin!!

I think being pregnant is actually helping me! I’m definitely “nesting” and want my “nest” to be as clutter free as possible when the baby comes! Plus I’m trying to counteract the influx of baby items…oh my!!

Oh, you’ve started my head spinning with the things we’ve got stashed away that we can sell – I think my husband might be willing to part with the mandolin he doesn’t play anymore! Here’s hoping we can get $100, too.

Great job. And you get bonus points for dealing with clutter while hugely pregnant! I’m pretty certain I wasn’t decluttering during any of my pregnancies.

Yes selling on Craigslist is great…I have a few more items listed so hopefully they’ll sell too! Of course after making so much in February I’m tempted to sell even more!!

I love getting rid of the stuff one way or another but making money off of it is pretty nice!

Congrats on surpassing your goal in the first two months of the year!!

And, moving twice within a year really showed us how much stuff we had…it’s really kind of sickening to see all of your stuff loaded into a moving truck & then spend the next week or so dealing with it!!

We try to avoid buying a lot of stuff but it somehow just keeps coming in!!

Great job!!! I probably should have started keeping track of that at the beginning of the year too! Good for you. I love selling things on Craig’s List. It’s a good feeling getting money for unused items and donating the rest!

Great progress this month. And you’ve got to love the bonus of extra cash. I need to list some things on Craigslist in March.

Hey!

Great job this month! I plan on selling/consigning for March… we had a ton of stuff to donate, which i guess will be like making money on our taxes, but still…

Yay for 56 fewer items around the house!

I am happy to report I have surpassed the goal by 3 already! I’m also thrilled to have that many less things in my home. On my declutterings Tuesday (yesterday) I decluttered 50 items! If I keep going at this rate my home is going to be empty! I found this in my devotion yesterday, ” Stuff. Where does it all come from? You may not think you have much until it’s time to move. ….My husband often says there wouldn’t be nearly so many yard or garage sales if people would just stop buying ‘stuff.’”
