December 2024 Decluttering Club

[halimer]

A great many paper shopping bags.

In NYS you have to use your own bags so I have quite a collection of reusable ones but it's really a waste of space to save maybe one or two paper ones.

Well during December, in the search for the missing bags of Christmas candy , I decluttered the living room, kitchen, dining room, drum room, bedroom, laundry area, hall closets and office. Several bags of trash went out.

Some Christmas gift bags that were too far gone to be reused went into the garbage.
I will be sorting through gift tags, ribbons, wrapping paper tomorrow and toss what does not suit.

LOL! I finally did! It was the next day. Can you believe it? It was in the office closet. I was searching every place with a flashlight by that point. The flashlight was the key to finding the candy. I had looked there before but didn't notice it.

 

[Lana]

Some empty pill bottles gone off counter and the empty canning jars are sacked up. Some old apples gone.

 

[halimer]

A blanket that is no longer needed.

 

[Myron's Mom]

3 dvds I bought husband for Christmas. They were just ok and we need to have another storage cabinet built for movies lol.

 

[sweetpumkinpye]

Some Christmas cards and ornaments that go onto parcels are out.
Tissue paper and cellophane bags will go to Mum.

 

[MissBrittany]

2 hand towels that haven't matched decor in years, and 2 pans gone.

 

[Lana]

Will stop by Krogers before work for a few items and will take bags in for recycling.

Taking a book A Year of Gratitude---that I brought at Cracker Barrel in '23 and read daily in '24 to pass on to co-worker in another branch. There are 2 there that might like it. I signed and dated it and will tell them to pass it on.

Taking some plastic cups to work. When getting out plastic stuff for Christmas Eve, we have so many packs of cups.

 

[housewife2]

Donated some clothes . And some decorations no longer want to the thrift shop,

 

[Holiday_Mom]

I have four boxes of books and two boxes of household items ready to go. Some of the donation centers around here are closed to donations for a bit.

A broken plastic shoe box

 

[AnnieClaus]

I got rid of a bag of clothes that has gone from my laundry room to my home office, back to my laundry room, in the kitchen (purposely put there to be in my way) and finally gone through.
This was a bag of clothes my SIL gave me from one of her cw's.
Did keep a couple of items.

Also got rid of 11 newspapers (kept up on weekly reading) and 4 magazines.

 

[jampss]

I have lots of things piled up in the laundry room in boxes and bags to donate soon. Some shirts, sweaters, coats of DH, baby waffle maker, old kitchen knives, craft items, mini web cam, gift bags, an old mandolin in orange, lg cereal keeper tupperware. I hope the thrift store will take items after the holidays!
