I'm tossing more items and /or larger items, and making just as much headway. I also find I can get into a more "daring" mood easier if I set it up as a weekend project. Today I tossed a piece of broken furniture that I have kept for several years. (Why?) Also tossed some old fabric and a window blind. I'm still cleaning and tossing today, so who knows what else may go!

LOL <br /><br />I heard a neat idea and tried it, but somehow haven't strictly adhered to it... but someone else might... The idea is for every item you bring into the house one must leave in its place. For example if you buy a new sweater you must dispose of one other piece of clothing from your closet. This also applies to art pictures, mirrors, furniture, etc. <br /><br />Another thing I have found helpful is to keep what I use handy (cosmetics etc,) and store the rest in a plastic container away from the rest. If I don't have to get it from the storage closet for a month or so, then chances are I don't need it, so then I can sort and pitch without the guilt or uncertainty! <br /><br />A wonderful system for items in the fridge... Use a sharpie to date them when you bring them home and its amazing how much old mustard, catsup,and other items we can pitch sooner than later. <br /><br />Hope these tips help. I've still "hoard" a lot (Collect sounds better but since we are being honest...) but I'm getting better!

I agree with Kristin, it does help out a lot when you move, however when you haven't moved in a while or aren't planning on moving anytime soon it can take some work to get yourself up to going through all the stuff that has collected since your last move. <br /><br />Even though I'm starting a day behind I think I'll start on this day with you and just do both days. So for this day...<br />I have a good sized collection of purses. I keep them because I sometimes go back and use them again if I cannot afford a new purse and am tired of the current one I'm using. I am throwing away the ones that are too damaged to donate and donating the rest that aren't my favorites. No need to keep on keeping purses I'm not going to go back and use. :)Trinityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03598746323517713999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942097866658027545.post-53672895517703080432010-09-29T12:51:50.737-04:002010-09-29T12:51:50.737-04:00The best way to declutter is to move!

I believe that my half of the flatrack at the auction was called the "Garage Sale Special."Kristinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942097866658027545.post-21497237725979906342010-09-28T23:46:35.832-04:002010-09-28T23:46:35.832-04:00Great idea Loretta even if it isnt original.

I have so many lotions,perfumes,ointments,shampoo (hotel samples that ronnie brings home grrrr) yet I don't throw them out, go figure. <br />Im going to enjoy keeping up with your blog. <br />Love you!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05943906746329058814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942097866658027545.post-75809725852191531282010-09-28T14:30:13.500-04:002010-09-28T14:30:13.500-04:00Trash?
