I am not creative with sayings. I feel that it would be nice to have something like we did last year - 2011 items out. I feel that it would be a nice incentive to get rid of things. Can anyone come up with a catchy theme for this.

Thanks for starting the thread, Fluffychild!
What you've written is just fine!
If anyone is wondering further:
The intent is for each participant to get 2012 items out of her/his home during the year 2012.
Count the items any way you wish.

To help make it more concrete, 2012 items = 5 1/2 items per day. That's doable if you focus on "one day at a time".

Can anyone come up with a catchy theme for this. Hmmm, a catchy theme you say . . . Well there's the theme to Jaws, the theme to Moby Dick [but not as well known], the theme to Finding Nemo. Can any one help me out here ? |
