https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_bcuVowaqs peter walsh's challenge for today.. de-clutter 5 books.

I de-cluttered under and in medicine cabinets - 1 small bathroom trash can gone of things I had doubles and triples of that I won't use in 20 years, tossed things that I haven't touched in a year - hair products that I "thought" might be interesting. Medicines gone.

Thanks for cheering us on, BLESSED!

A large vase will be joining the teapot.

Yesterday I sorted through 3 dresser drawers and tossed a bunch of Tshirts & undies into the trash.

I put 4 Tshirts that have grungy collars into the mending basket. I will cut off the collars and convert the shirts into shopping/project bags.

Also decluttered 5 tops from the closet. I had kept them for camping, but by summer I'm sure I will have others that can be rotated down to use for camping & messy jobs.

D Elly... people getting the vase will be so happy they have a place for their flowers! I know a florist that takes all vases she finds - great sharing and de-cluttering!!! Remember we are SUPER HEROS here - blessing others every time we donate or toss our stuff that no longer fits in our lives!!!
- I just find this image so funny...imagining myself with the wind blowing my cape as I save my home from the world of clutter.

D Book Well Done our Dear Book.. look at those dresser drawers looking spiffy...great job on getting rid of those pieces of clothing!
I have cleaning shirts and at one time I realized I had more cleaning shirts than nice ones... and out they went.

Peter Walsh's challenge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYWgCm5TRLo

I have saved a bunch of cords and plugs from all over the house from before Christmas in a huge heavy duty shopping bag. (I had it in the front hall closet)... today it took dh, d girls- while they were home- and I over 2 hours to go through everything and decide what could be tossed (equipment broken and tossed long before the plug or charger ... including 1 computer cord for a Gateway really old computer we got rid of years ago) ... we separated everything.. marked them in zip lock bags and put like items together, esp. camera stuff. We used our labeler.. Love the labeler. So now everyone has their things, we have tons of A pple plugs and I have 4 charge cords for my computer..
I also marked questionable items with todays date so that next year (putting on calendar for Jan 2016) I can toss the things that haven't been touched instead of questioning if it is important or not.

So now we have an A PPLE box (sealed) with what's in it.
dd younger has her electronics and camera stuff in a box marked on outside. (she has them separated with marked tabs)

We tossed a lot!!!
