Still in master bedroom---just don't stay with it.

Threw out some pens that don't work-----we accumulate them so fast!!!!!

Jeans that don't fit (tired of thinking I will get into them) I am putting in sacks for jean quilt for Teigan.

Lana, that is one of my big problems. I have heaps of clothes that I may wear or might fit into one day. One day I will be ruthless and get rid of them.

Katrina, I held on to clothing for years, finally decided if I did need to down size my wardrobe my reward would be new clothes so I sent all the unworn clothes to the school used clothing sale this year.

I filled Dh car with boxes I have been gathering from different rooms. He couldn't believe all that I had ready for a trip to GoodWill. I already have another box started for the next trip. I've been decluttering one of my craft cabinets.

Jody, that is a good idea. I have an evening top that is at least 10 years old that I keep on case of good. I think I have worn it once or twice in 10 years as it is a little too dressy for where I go.

That is my feeling too. If I lose (I lose but don't keep it off) and it stays off I DESERVE new!

More trash out and Allen has a pile of old t-shirts and starting with socks for the rag bag either here or to send to farm with Ryan.

You guys are so motivating! One pickup load gone. Another 9 or so garbage bags full on deck ready for departure. My house was all clean when I started this -- now its a wreck cuz I've torn it all apart! :)

I transferred all my clothes from the guest bedroom closet to the closet in DD21's bedroom, so DN will have a place to put her clothes while she's here if she wants to. DD has all hers at college. In the process, I purged a few more clothes. Some will go to Goodwill. Some to the consignment shop.

Have another bag of odds and ends for good will in my car. Had dinner with the cousins and passed on some clothes I no longer wear to them.
Still have not tackled the closet in the guest bedroom.

Yesterday I gave a bag of books that my DS out grew to a friend for her son. I have a box of clothes ready to donate. Went through a box of stuff yesterday and separated everything onto 3 piles .. keep, trash and burn/shred.

Finally finished decluttering the hallway/entrance. Tossed a few old bits and pieces. I have a tonne of candles and melts. Must try using some up. Only a few more rooms to go and the house is done for another 6 months.
