    Default Decluttering for the Weekend

    Okay, for the weekend, you have two days to get rid of just one thing (or more if the spirit moves you).

    I am hoping beyond all hope to clean out some space in the garage. I'll keep you updated.

    How about you?

    Well, my dh came out to the garage with me, and to be honest, he did all of the work. I'll post a picture of the stuff we put out for the trash at the curb, we set aside a few things for the garage sale in October, and swept out and neatened everything else up. Everything is now accessible and reachable and I LOVE it! I feel great about the garage!

    We are eating up all the leftovers, so decluttering the refrigerator. Does that count?
    Seriously, I shredded some paper clutter, and worked a little in the kitchen. Also working on some unfinished crafts, etc.

    WTG Amy!

    I decided to do some decluttering myself today. I decluttered the LR, dinning room and laundry room. I tossed out old candles, paper clutter, and more. Everything looks tidy again.

    Wow, Amy! You and your DH sure got a lot accomplished.

    I didn't do any decluttering on Saturday. Sunday I gave the house a good cleaning and threw out some old magazines, and paperwork that was piling up on counter tops.

    DS is coming for the weekend so I need to get the spare room, (his old room) picked up. It's becoming the dumping ground for everything that has no where else to go.
